There are also radio programs being transmitted. Written materials using the Latin script include Masbatenyo newspapers and the New Testament (1993). Masbatenyo is taught in primary and secondary schools. There is a high degree of literacy in the community (65%). Another people group, Southern Sorsoganon, use Masbatenyo as a second language. The Masbatenyo people highly value their language, using it in the home, the market and at work. On Burias most of the speakers are Cebuano who migrated from the Cebu region. There are other dialects spoken in the small towns on the island of Ticao. In the far southern and southwestern parts of Masbate Island, Cebuano is the home language. This dialect is the lingua franca for the province and the home language for between 300,000 to 350,000 people. This dictionary is a record of speech as spoken in northern Masbate. Three dialects of Masbatenyo have been discovered: the northern dialect centered around the provincial capital, Masbate town, and within the whole northern half of Masbate Island the western dialect centered around the town of Balud on the western coast and the southern dialect centered about the town of Cataingin in the southeastern part of Masbate. Up until the 1920's, the Masbate region was a part of Sorsogon Province. It is also closely related to Tagalog, the basis of the national language Filipino, and Cebuano, but it is most closely related to the language of Sorsogon City in the province of Sorsogon on the southern tip of Luzon Island. There is lexical similarity with Capiznon (79%) and Hiligaynon (76%). The classification of the language is Austronesian, Malayo-Polynesian, Philippine, Greater Central Philippine, Central Philippine, Bisayan, Central, Peripheral. This province is 200 nautical miles southeast of Manila and just west of the southern tip of Luzon Island. In the Philippines they are located on the islands of Masbate, Ticao and Burias in the Masbate Province. The term Minasbate is the language spoken by this people group.
