Matigsalug Linguistic Landscape of Sinuda, Kitaotao, Bukidnon, Philippines

Studies on the indigenous linguistic landscape provide an overview of the condition of the indigenous languages. This paper aims to explore the linguistic landscape of the Matigsalug people in Sinuda, Kitaotao, Bukidnon, Philippines using review of literature. This paper shows that the Matigsalug language has experienced language change and borrowings and language assimilation. Also, the dominance of the English language has been observed across the country. The language policies in the Philippines may be revisited to cater to the situation of the indigenous languages. This paper concludes that the integration of indigenous languages, such as the Matigsalug, in the sector of education may provide a better linguistic position for these endangered languages
