Cibao
The primary valley in the northern Dominican Republic, situated between the Central and Septentrional mountain ranges. It is a fertile region traditionally focused on agriculture. The origin of the name Cibao is debated: while some suggest Christopher Columbus confused it with Cipango (Japan), it more likely comes from the Taino word cibas, meaning mountain. (The region is famous for a distinct dialect where locals replace the letters r and l with an i sound).
Where people talk with an i in everything. Bali, how is it vai for you? Ai Dio, look bali, etc.
