The Palawanic languages are the languages spoken on the islands of Mindoro, Palawan, and nearby islets in the Philippines.
The languages are,
- South Mangyan
- Kalamian–Palawan
A 2008 analysis of the Austronesian Basic Vocabulary Database[1] fully supported the connection between Kalamian and Palawan, and linked these to South Mangyan with 90% confidence. However, it found only moderate support (70%) for the unity of the Palawan languages.
