Abstract
This research aims to identify Visayan gay-lingo's contemporary-Bekimong Bisaya. This study examines the unique gay language used in Southern Leyte, which includes the analysis of its meaning, importance, etymology, and usage in daily conversations. According to this study, the Visayan gay-lingo or bekimong Bisaya is a sociolinguistic, gender-based language medium that is been utilized by gay men in their interaction with other people. There are words spoken backward, words with added sounds, added letters, and words with different spellings. Some words originated from different celebrities and personalities with different, fresh meanings. The Visayan gay lingo (bekimong Bisaya), similar to the gay lingos spoken in the different regions of the Philippines, has no formal structure, specification, conventions, or subscriptions to grammatical rules. It is a dynamic, creative, and free-flowing language that shaped the gay perspective.
