The Philippine languages, per Adelaar and Himmelmann (2005)

In linguistics, the Philippine languages are a 1991 proposal by Robert Blust that all the languages of the Philippines and northern Sulawesi—except Sama–Bajaw (languages of the "Sea Gypsies") and a few languages of Palawan—form a subfamily of Austronesian languages. Although the Philippines is near the center of Austronesian expansion from Formosa, there is little linguistic diversity among the approximately 150 Philippine languages, suggesting that earlier diversity has been erased by the spread of the ancestor of the modern Philippine languages.[2][3] Philippine languages make up the oldest non-Formosan languages of the Austronesian language family, with several languages preserving the proto-Austronesian schwa and d–r assonance lost in the Sunda–Sulawesi languages.

Classification

From approximately north to south, Adelaar and Himmelmann (2005) divide the Philippine languages into the following groups:

In addition, the Umiray Dumaget, Manide and Inagta Alabat languages are unclassified within the Philippine family.

Philippine Negrito languages

The Negrito peoples of the Philippines speak various languages. They have more in common with neighboring languages than with each other, and are listed here merely as an aid to identification.

Lobel (2013)

Lobel (2013)[4] lists the following Black Filipino (i.e., Philippine Negrito) ethnolinguistic groups.

Northern Luzon

(Lobel (2010)[5] lists the following Negrito languages that are spoken on the eastern coast of Luzon Island, listed from north to south.)

Furthermore, Robinson & Lobel (2013)[6] argue that Dupaningan Agta, Pahanan Agta, Casiguran Agta, Nagtipunan Agta, Dinapigue Agta, and Paranan do not belong to the Northern Cordilleran branch, but rather a new branch that they call Northeastern Luzon, which they consider to be a primary branch of the Northern Luzon (Cordilleran) group.

Reid (1994)

Reid (1994) lists the following Negrito languages.[7]

Other Philippine Negrito languages

Ethnologue adds extinct and unclassified Katabaga of southern Luzon.
