Comments[edit]

our race/tribe/ethnicity, the Zamboangueño Latino People with our Language are also belong to the Philippine Languages!!!

our rcae/tribe/ethnicity born here in the Ciudad de Zamboanga (formerly: Republica de Zamboanga... this is ridiculous! this is absurb!

no wonder, we the Zamboangueño Latino People (Los Chavacanos) wants to bring back our lost Soverenidad el "REPUBLICA DE ZAMBOANGA" donde el de nuestros amable idioma amo el de nuestro Lengua Oficial!!!!!! Zamboangueño Chavacano Zamboangueño Chavacano Zamboangueño Chavacano Zamboangueño Chavacano Zamboangueño Chavacano Zamboangueño Chavacano

Chavacano is not a Philippine language, but it is a language of the Philippines. This is because the Philippine languages constitute a language branch, which has nothing to do with national identity or geography. Nevertheless Chavacano is also fully "Filipino" in its own right. — Stevey7788 (talk) 08:40, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

hahahaha... it is a Philippine Language or one of the Filipino Languages. by disregarding us, it is the same way as discrimination on it's own people. "language is culture & indentity" no wonder the Philippines never prosper due to lack of knowledge on it's people. not only that, even the Philippine History is so bias. manipulated et.al.

Towards clarification of the English[edit]

Where should the phrase, "1991 proposal by Robert Blust that all the languages of the Philippines and northern Sulawesi—except Sama–Bajaw (languages of the "Sea Gypsies") and a few languages of Palawan," go? I will let you keep it, but it has to go elsewhere. Yours, dsnow75 50.46.224.142 (talk) 22:23, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Needed[edit]

"Proto-austonesian" is un-recorded and hypothetical. Asterisks are needed in this case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.154.237.127 (talk) 15:40, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 14 August 2020[edit]

Philippine languages (language subgroup) → Philippine languages – With the recent page move, "Philippine languages" has become a redirect to this page. But if "Philippine languages" redirects here, it means that this page still covers the primary topic, so the disambiguation in the title is redundant.

Revert undiscussed move. Per WP:BOLD, the due course of action is to revert the bold move and start an RM if the first mover still insists on the rename. I'm disabling the RM template and filing a technical move request. Nardog (talk) 11:35, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nardog: Thanks a lot for initiating the simple solution. –Austronesier (talk) 19:48, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
