The
Manobo languages are a group of languages spoken in the Philippines. All go by the name
Manobo or
Banobo. 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.
