Is Waray spoken in the north?

Not sure.  Mostly in Biliran, Biliran and around to the east of there.

EDIT:  If you want the gossip on crimes against foreigners you could go to Chamorita Resort on the south part of the island.  Most of the bad stuff happens closer to  Naval so you will be fine where you are going.  Well as fine as anywhere in the Phils.

I was talking to my sister in law last evening who grew up on Biliran and I asked her where the language divide was. She said it just varied by brgy and named off a string of brgys and which language was spoken at that particular one. She mostly spoke Cebuano at home but the kids at her school spoke Waray so she quickly learned that dialect. 

My wife and her other siblings grew up near Tanauan, Leyte where both dialects are also spoken. She told me once that it was a toss up which language the nieces and nephews would use as their primary language when they learned to speak. It's all good, my entire Filipino family speaks Cebuano, Waray and Tagalog fluently and it is amazing how well the nieces and nephews speak English! So much better than their tatays and lolos. What a difference the internet makes. But the down side is they spend too much time on their devices. Hopefully that will change a little when the house is finished because we are adding a pool and basketball hoop to the plan.

I'll have to ask nanay about the Charmorita Resort, she knows everything about everything. We have the Prime Resort in Bunga.
