The Manobo languages are a group of languages spoken in the Philippines, with speakers concentrated around Northern Mindanao, Central Mindanao and the Caraga region. Outlying groups make Manobo geographically discontinuous, with speakers found as far as the southern peninsula of Davao Oriental, most of Davao Occidental, coastal areas of Sultan Kudarat, and, for the most remote group, the Kagayanen, portions of Palawan.
