Philippines: Leyte Provincial Profile
Leyte is the largest of the six provinces of Eastern Visayas. It lies adjacent to the island of Samar, connected by the San Juanico Strait, and east of the islands of Cebu
and Bohol. It is bounded in the north by the Carigara Bay and in the east by the Leyte Gulf. To the west is the Camotes Sea, while the province of Southern Leyte lies
south. The land is mountainous with a very rugged range cutting the island in half from northwest to southeast. The mountain range that divides the island into eastern
and western plains also serves as the line that delineates the language difference between the populace in
each side of the province. The western portion faces Cebu, thus, the people speaks the Cebuano dialect. On 3 40 1,641
the other hand, the Leyteños at the western side speak Waray. A dialect they share with the people of Samar
