Subdivisions:

The Palawan languages are the languages of the island of Palawan and nearby islets in the Philippines.

They are Palawano (a dialect cluster), Aborlan Tagbanwa (not to be confused with Kalamian Tagbanwa), Palawan Batak (not to be confused with Toba Batak) and Cuyonon, originating in the nearby island of Cuyo.

A 2008 analysis of the Austronesian Basic Vocabulary Database[1] found moderate support (70%) for the unity of the Tagbanwa and Batak.
