Tudela, officially the Municipality of Tudela (Cebuano: Lungsod sa Tudela; Tagalog: Bayan ng Tudela), is a 5th class municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 11,304 people. [3]

Local dialect is Cebuano. Waray is also spoken due to its proximity to Leyte.

The town is home to the Porohanon language, one of the most endangered languages in the Visayas. The language is only used in the Poro islands. The language is classified as distinct from Cebuano (Bisaya) by the Komisyon ng Wikang Filipino and is vital to the culture and arts of the Porohanon people.
