Central Bikol is the most-spoken language in the Bicol region of southern Luzon, Philippines. It belongs to Coastal Bikol grouping along with Viracnon. It is spoken in the northern and western part of Camarines Sur, second congressional district of Camarines Norte, eastern part of Albay, northeastern part of Sorsogon, San Pascual town in Masbate, and southwestern part of Catanduanes. The standard Sprachraum form is based on the Canaman dialect.
Bikol Dialects
Bikol-Naga, a dialect of Coastal Bikol based in Canaman, Camarines Sur and the foundation of Standard Bikol, along with Bikol-Legazpi, based in Legazpi City, are plainly understood by most Bikol speakers. It is spoken in the first and second districts of Camarines Sur (except in Del Gallego, where residents are mostly Tagalog speakers) and in San Pascual, Masbate.
Bikol-Legazpi is spoken in the eastern coast of Albay and northern Sorsogon.
Other common dialects include Bikol-Daet, spoken in Daet and adjacent towns in Camarines Norte, and Bikol-Partido, spoken in the 4th District of Camarines Sur and in Virac, San Andres and southern part of Caramoran in Catanduanes.

Like other Philippine languages, Bikol has a number of loanwords, largely Spanish as a result of 333 years of Spanish rule in the Philippines. This includes suerte (luck), karne (carne, meat), imbestigador (investigador, investigator), litro (liter), pero (but), and krimen (crimen, crime). Another source of loanwords is Sanskrit, with words like hade (king) and karma.
