The people of Cantilan are called Cantilangnons and their dialect is called Cantelangnon (part of Surigaonon dialect). It belongs to an Austronesian language of the Philippine type spoken by about several thousand people. With lexical similarity of 82% with Dibabawon Manobo, 81% with Agusan Manobo, 69% with Butuanon.
This will be the avenue of my ramblings as Cantilangnon!

Laong pa, "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day."
Pero di kon amo jaon an ak hinkit-an sa bay-bay nan Domingo. Waya magtagay nan bino an mamalingay, busy sila bumira nan baling para ipanud-anay. Pero inday lam kon notigsim anay adiser noapil pamaling.
Bagan di na nato siguro matungkad kon kagan-o gajud nagsugod an pamaling, dugay-dugay na siguro amo? Panahon pa ni Maam Por. hehe Pero kun buot nato huna-hunaon, hangtud kuman jaopay gihapon kuha na isda sa baybay. Kada adlaw makakita pa gihapon ta nan mamalingay, hinay-hinay dungan atras bira nan pesi, samtang nangandoy na haraw dabo an makuha.
Pagkahuman nila, tagduyod nako sila pagtan-aw, bagan ya matinuod an ila tanganduy, gamay ra an ila kuha. Dabo pa intawon an lipa kay sa isda. Laong pa ni Sir Pepe, "Naloko na…". Balitaw kon amo ini kagamay permi an ila kuha, mag-uno naman an magsunod na mga henerasyon?
Mag-inkoray rakan siguro, inum-inum tuba….
