From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Language family
The Mindanao or Southern Philippine languages are an obsolete proposal for a subgroup of the
Austronesian languages comprising the
Danao languages, the
Manobo languages and
Subanon, all of which are spoken in
Mindanao,
Philippines.
Blust (1991) includes the three groups as separate branches in a larger
Greater Central Philippine subgroup (together with the
Central Philippine,
Southern Mindoro,
Palawan and
Gorontalo–Mongondow branches), and there is no evidence that they are more closely related to each other than to the other branches of the Greater Central Philippine subgroup.
