The Saluan–Banggai languages are a group of closely related languages spoken in eastern Central Sulawesi province, Indonesia. They belong to the Celebic subgroup of the Austronesian family.[1][2]
Grimes & Edwards (2021) have proposed the inclusion of Taliabo (Kadai, Padang/Samala, Mananga, Mangei/Soboyo)[3] and the Saluan–Banggai languages in a common branch of Celebic, which they call Saluan–Taliabu.[4]
