===Stress===
Stress accent is phonemic, which means that words with different accent placements, such as ''dapít'' (near) and ''dápit'' (place), are considered separate. The stress is predictably on the [[penult]] when the second-to-last syllable is [[Closed syllable|closed]] (CVC or VC). On the other hand, when the syllable is [[Open syllable|open]] (CV or V), the stress can be on either the penultimate or the final syllable (although there are certain grammatical conditions or categories under which the stress is predictable, such as with numbers and pronouns).<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Newton |first=Brian |title=The Cebuano Language and Generative Phonology |date=December 1991 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/29792064 |journal=Philippine Quarterly of Culture and Society |volume=19 |issue=4 |pages=253–263 |jstor=29792064 }}</ref>
