Higaonon is a Manobo language spoken by the Higaonon people on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. It is partially (80%) intelligible with Binukid.
Higaonon is spoken in the Butuan River basin of north-central Mindanao, comprising the entire Misamis Oriental, northern parts of Bukidnon, northwestern Agusan del Sur Province and the area of Agusan del Norte Province south of Butuan.[1] According to Ethnologue, it is closely related to Binukid, with 77%–81% mutual intelligibility.[1]
