Wolff is a comprehensive dictionary written in the early 1970s.

Jones highlights the significance of this work in relation to Cebuano and Philippine linguistics, emphasizing its collaborative nature involving over a hundred participants. The preface outlines the dictionary's goals, structure, and process of compilation, indicating that it was developed from extensive oral and written sources, all aimed at clarifying the meanings and uses of Cebuano words. The introduction begins with a discussion of the language's distribution and cultural context, highlighting its status and fluctuations in prestige over the years.
