The Kalamian languages are a small cluster of languages spoken in the Philippines: Calamian Tagbanwa and Agutaynen. Other languages called Tagbanwa, the Aborlan Tagbanwa language and Central Tagbanwa language are members of the Palawanic languages.
These are among the few languages of the Philippines which continue to be written in indigenous scripts, though mostly for poetry.[citation needed]
