Maguindanao
Austronesian (Greater Central Philippine)
Maguindanao is a Greater Central Philippine Austronesian language spoken by ~1.4M as the heritage language of the Maguindanao people of Mindanao, who established the Sultanate of Maguindanao (16th-19th c.) — one of the major precolonial Muslim polities of the Philippines. Closely related to Maranao. Now a co-official language of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region (2019). Historically used the Arabic-derived Kirim script for religious texts; modern orthography uses Latin script. VSO word order with Austronesian focus-marking system.
