The Tausug are an ethnic group that lives in Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia. In the Philippines, the Tausugs inhabit Palawan, Manila, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi and places in Cebu. In Malaysia, they live in Sabah and Kuala Lumpir. In Indonesia, they live in East Kalimantan. The unifying language of the Tausug people is Bahasa Sug, the language of the Tausugs. Since Tausugs are located in three countries, the national/official languages are different. Malaysians speak Malay, Indonesians speak Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) and Filipinos speak Filipino (Tagalog). So, Bahasa Sug unifies the Tausugs regardless of country. Most Tausug people are Muslim. They are closely related to ethnic Malays.
