The Gorontalo–Mongondow languages are a group of Philippine languages spoken in northern Sulawesi, Indonesia.
The languages are,
- Gorontalic: Bolango, Buol, Bintauna, Gorontalo, Kaidipang, Lolak, Suwawa
- Mongondowic: Mongondow, Ponosakan
Adelaar and Himmelmann (2005) place Gorontalo in a Greater Central Philippine family. However, a 2008 analysis of the Austronesian Basic Vocabulary Database[1] supports Gorontalo as the family most closely related to the Philippine languages, but outside the Philippine languages proper.
