The Philippine languages, per Adelaar and Himmelmann (2005)

In linguistics, the Philippine languages are a proposal by Zorc (1986) and Robert Blust (1991) that all the languages of the Philippines and northern Sulawesi—except Sama–Bajaw (languages of the "Sea Gypsies") and a few languages of Palawan—form a subfamily of Austronesian languages. Although the Philippines is near the center of Austronesian expansion from Formosa, there is little linguistic diversity among the approximately 150 Philippine languages, suggesting that earlier diversity has been erased by the spread of the ancestor of the modern Philippine languages.

From approximately north to south, the Philippine languages are divided into the following subgroups:

In addition, the Ati, Umiray Dumaget, Manide and Inagta Alabat languages are unclassified within the Philippine family.
