The Kalamian languages are a small cluster of languages spoken in the Philippines:

Kalamian Tagbanwa and Agutaynen.[2]

These are among the few languages of the Philippines which continue to be written in indigenous scripts, though mostly for poetry.

Classification

Adelaar and Himmelmann (2005) make Kalamian a primary branch of the Philippine language family.
