Bislish is a portmanteau of the words 'Bisaya' and 'English' which refers to any of the Visayan languages of the Philippines infused with English terms. It is an example of code mixing. An example of Bislish as spoken in Cebuano language areas would be, "Tired na jud[1] ko, girl, how far pa house nimo?" which means "I am so tired already, girl. How far more is your house?"
