Internal classification
= Ethnologue
=Ethnologue groups the languages of Bikol as follows:
= McFarland (1974)
=Curtis McFarland gives the following classification for the Bikol languages.
= Lobel (2000)
=While McFarland (1974) splits Bikol into 11 dialects, Lobel (2000) splits Bikol into 12 different dialects (including Partido Bikol, which McFarland does not differentiate) and 4 main branches.
Some dialects of Southern Bikol have the close central unrounded vowel /ɨ/ as a reflex of Proto-Austronesian *ə. However, Proto-Austronesian *ə is realized as /o/ in Libon. Two Bikol dialects have unique additional consonants, namely Southern Catanduanes, which has an interdental lateral consonant /l̟/ (also transcribed as l̪͆), and Buhi-non, which has the voiced velar fricative /ɣ/.
