Southern Philippines and Malay?
Thanks for the map! However, I have a few problems regarding some details. While there's a tiny Indonesian (and Malay-speaking Malaysian) minority in Mindanao, there is yet to be a study or census that verifies such widespread distribution of Malay throughout the entire island. Moreover, the existence of a Mindanao dialect of Malay is also yet to be attested if such thing really does exist. I'm also not sure why Palawan is shown to have a significant Malay-speaking population. The most recent census from the Philippine government does not indicate any sizable number of Malay speakers. This is the same case for Ethnologue maps. --Pansitkanton (talk) 22:27, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
