The Palawano languages are spoken on the island of Palawan in the province of Palawan in the Philippines.
There are actually three related, but not mutually intelligible, languages, each with a number of dialects, which called themselves "Palawano" (called Palawan in their own term; "Palawano" is a Spanish-derived term, from palahuano, used by outsiders.)[1]
Populations are approximate. These there are:
- Brooke's Point Palawano: 14,367 speakers (ISO 639-3 code plw)[2]
- Central Palawano: 12,000 speakers (ISO 639-3 code plc)[3]
- Southwest Palawano: 12,000 speakers (ISO 639-3 code plv)[4]
The three Palawano languages share the island with several other languages which are not part of the Palawan language cluster, though they share a fair amount of vocabulary. These languages are the Kalamian language Tagbanwa, Palawan Batak (ISO 639-3 code bya)[5] and the Banggi language Molbog (ISO 639-3 code pwm).[6]
