Beginning Cebuano, Part II is the second volume of an elementary language course for students of Cebuano, an important language spoken in the Visayas region of the Philippines. The book was published in 1967 by Yale University Press. The work was developed and published pursuant to a contract with the United States Office of Education (USOE). This initiative reflects a mid-20th century effort by the U.S. government to develop materials for Less Commonly Taught Languages (LCTLs) through major academic institutions like Yale University and Cornell University, which provided support for the manuscript's preparation. This effort was crucial for supporting American students, researchers, and government personnel engaging with strategic allies and regions, placing the work within the context of expanding American international relations and academic specialization in Southeast Asian studies.
