Northern Sorsogon (also Masbate Sorsogon, Northern Sorsoganon, Sorsogon Bicolano) is a Bisayan language spoken in the central part of Sorsogon, Philippines, in Sorsogon City and the municipalities of Casiguran, and Juban.[2] It is closely related to, but distinct from Southern Sorsogon which is spoken in the southern part of Sorsogon.[3]

It is one of the three Bisayan languages spoken in the Bicol region, next to Southern Sorsogon and Masbateño.
