Southern Sorsogon (also Waray Sorsogon, Gubat) is a Bisayan language spoken in the southern part of Sorsogon, Philippines, in the municipalities of Gubat, Barcelona, Bulusan, Santa Magdalena, Matnog, Bulan, and Irosin.[2] Although located in the Bicol Region, Southern Sorsogon belongs to the Warayan Bisayan subgroup, and is mutually intelligible to Waray which is spoken to the south on the neighboring island of Samar.[3] The other two Bisayan languages spoken in the Bicol Region are Masbate Sorsogon and Masbateño.
