The Greater Central Philippine languages are a proposed subgroup of the Austronesian language family, defined by the change of Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *R to *g. They are spoken in the central and southern parts of the Philippines and in northern Sulawesi, Indonesia.[1] This subgroup was first proposed by Robert Blust (1991) based on lexical and phonological evidence,[1] and is accepted by most specialists in the field.[2][3][4][5]
Most of the major languages of the Philippines belong to the Greater Central Philippine subgroup: Tagalog, the Visayan languages Cebuano, Hiligaynon, Waray; Central Bikol, the Danao languages Maranao and Magindanaon.[6] On the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, Gorontalo is the third-largest language by number of speakers.[7]
