The Palawanic languages are:
- Palawano (a language cluster)
- Aborlan Tagbanwa
- Central Tagbanwa (not to be confused with Kalamian Tagbanwa)
- Batak (not to be confused with the Batak languages)
Molbog may also be in this group, closest to Palawano.[3][4] Ethnologue classifies Bonggi as Palawanic.[5]
