The Palawano languages are spoken on the island of Palawan in the province of Palawan in the Philippines.

There are actually three related, but not mutually intelligible, languages (each with a number of subdialects) which called themselves "Palawano" (called Palawan in their own term; "Palawano" is a Spanish term used by outsiders.) [cite web

Populations are approximate. These there are:
*Brooke's Point Palawano: 14,367 speakers (ISO 639-3 code plw) [cite web

The three Palawano languages are closely related to the following languages, as all stemming from a hypothezise "Proto-Palawan" language. They are not truly cognate, but share a fair amount of vocabulary:

*Batak (ISO 639-3 code bya) [cite web

All are spoken predominantly in the Philippines.
