The people of Leyte are divided into two main groups, primarily by language. In the west and south are the Cebuanos, while in the north and east is the Waray-Waray (Leyte dialect).

There are also some Spanish mestizos and some natives of the province who can speak and understand Spanish due to the colonial history of the province.
