The Southern Mindoro (South Mangyan) languages are one of two small clusters of Austronesian languages spoken by the Mangyan people of Mindoro Island in the Philippines. ^[1] They make up a branch of the Greater Central Philippine subgroup. ^[2]

These are among the few languages of the Philippines which continue to be written in indigenous scripts, though mostly for poetry.
