Geographic extent of Manobo languages based
on Ethnologue maps

The Manobo languages are a group of languages spoken in the
Philippines. Their speakers are primarily located around Northern Mindanao, Central
Mindanao (presently called Soccsksargen) and Caraga
regions
where they are natively spoken. Some outlying groups make Manobo geographically
discontiguous as other speakers can be located as far as the southern peninsula
of Davao Oriental, most of
Davao
Occidental and coastal areas of Sultan
Kudarat. The Kagayanen
speakers are the most extremely remote and can be found in certain portions
of Palawan.
