divided into Manobo and Danao groups, and the Subanun language.
Danao languages

Maguindanao and Maranao, with a million speakers.

dialect called Iranun; the Maranao Iranun is spoken in Borneo, in Malaysian
Sabah.
Subanon language
The Subanen language
(also Subanon and Subanun) is an Austronesian language belonging to the
Mindanao languages . Considered as a dialect cluster more than a monolithic
language. Subanen is spoken in areas of
Zamboanga Peninsula namely the provinces of Zamboanga Sibugay, Zamboanga del Norte and Zamboanga del Sur, and
in Misamis Occidental of Northern Mindanao. There is also a sizeable Subanen community in
Misamis Oriental. Most go by the name of
Subanen, Subanon or Subanun, while those who adhere to Islam refer to
themselves as Kalibugan.
Manobo languages
Their speakers are
primarily located around Northern Mindanao, Central Mindanao (presently called
SOCCSKSARGEN) and Caraga regions where they are natively spoken. Some outlying
groups make Manobo geographically discontiguous as other speakers can be
located as far as the southern peninsula of Davao Oriental, southern parts of
Davao del Sur and coastal areas of Sultan Kudarat. The Kagayanen speakers are
the most extremely remote and can be found in certain portions of Palawan.
