Matigsalug is a member of the Manobo branch of the Philippine languages. It is spoken in by about 50,000 people mainly in Mindanao, particularly in south central parts of Bukidon, North Cotabato and northwestern Davao del Sur provinces.
There are four main dialects of Matigsalug: Kulamanen, Tigwa, Tala Ingod and Matigsalug Proper. Tala Ingod is mutually intelligible with Matigsalug Proper. Other dialects are less mutually intelligible.
The letters c, f, j, o, q, v, x and z are also used, but only in loanwords, and the names of people and places.
