Subgroup of the Austronesian language family

Though it is typically classified as one of the South Mindanao languages, Klata (Giangan) is alternatively considered by Zorc (2019) to be a primary branch of the Southern Philippine languages, with Bilic being classified as a sister branch.
Reconstructions
Savage (1986) reconstructs Proto-South-Mindanaon using Tboli, Koronadal Blaan, and Sarangani Blaan data. Teduray and Giangan were not used in Savage's (1986) reconstruction.
