Jama Mapun
From the Knowledge Hub, the cited wiki
The Jama Mapun are the Sama-speaking people of Mapun island in Tawi-Tawi, with communities elsewhere in Sulu, Palawan and Sabah.
Sources on this group are thinner than for the largest groups. Figures are given only where a source states them, and this article will grow as more sources are added.
The Jama Mapun ("people of Mapun") come from Mapun island in Tawi-Tawi, once known as Cagayan de Sulu.[1] They speak a language of the Sama family and are related to the Sama and the Badjao.[2]
Scholarship
The classic ethnography of the group is Eric Casiño's The Jama Mapun: A Changing Society (1976).[3]
Figures
The 2020 census release gives no separate count for the Jama Mapun; it reports that all groups other than the six largest are under 2.0% each.[4]
