The Molbog-Bonggi languages are a proposed microgroup of the Austronesian languages comprising Bonggi and Molbog, spoken in Sabah on the island of Borneo, on Palawan in the Philippines, and on the islands in between. The classification of Molbog is contested: a 1981 study by Thiessen grouped it with the Palawanic languages on the basis of shared phonological and lexical innovations, a view supported by a 2017 study from Smith, while a 2013 study by Lobel instead places Molbog together with Bonggi in the Molbog-Bonggi subgroup used as this family's name.
