Cordilleran Languages
The Northern Luzon languages (also known as the Cordilleran languages) are one of the few established large groups within Philippine languages. These are mostly located in and around the Cordillera Central of northern Luzon in the Philippines. Among its major languages are Ilocano, Pangasinan and Ibanag. Internal classification Lawrence Reid (2018) divides the over thirty Northern Luzon languages into five branches: the Northeastern Luzon, Cagayan Valley and Meso-Cordilleran subgroups, further Ilokano and Arta as group-level isolate branches.Reid, Lawrence A. 2018.Modeling the linguistic situation in the Philippines" In ''Let's Talk about Trees'', ed. by Ritsuko Kikusawa and Lawrence A.

Cordillera Central (Luzon)
The Cordillera Central or Cordillera Range is a massive mountain range long north–south and east-west situated in the north-central part of the island of Luzon, in the Philippines. The mountain range encompasses all provinces of the Cordillera Administrative Region (Abra (province), Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga (province), Kalinga and Mountain Province), as well as portions of eastern Ilocos Norte, eastern Ilocos Sur, eastern La Union, northeastern Pangasinan, western Nueva Vizcaya, and western Cagayan. To the north, the mountain range terminates at the northern shores of Luzon along the Babuyan Channel in Ilocos Norte and Cagayan provinces. At its southeastern part, the Central Cordillera is linked to the Sierra Madre (Philippines), Sierra Madre Mountains, the longest mountain range in the country, through the Caraballo Mountains in Nueva Vizcaya province. During History of the Philippines (1521–1898), Spanish colonial period, the whole range was called ''Nueva ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Atta Language
Atta is an Austronesian dialect cluster spoken by the Aeta (Agta) Negritos of the northern Philippines. Varieties There are three varieties according to ''Ethnologue''. *Faire Atta (Southern Atta): spoken near Faire, Rizal, Cagayan *Pamplona Atta (Northern Cagayan Negrito): spoken in Pamplona, Cagayan; similar to northern Ibanag *Pudtol Atta: spoken in Pudtol, Apayao, and the Abulog river area south of Pamplona Pamplona (; ), historically also known as Pampeluna in English, is the capital city of the Navarre, Chartered Community of Navarre, in Spain.

Southern Alta Language
Southern Alta (also known as Kabuloan Dumagat, Kabuluen, Kabulowan or Kabuluwan, Kabuluwen, Ita, Baluga, Pugot), is a distinctive Aeta language of the mountains of northern Philippines. Southern Alta is one of many endangered languages that risks being lost if it is not passed on by current speakers. Most speakers of Southern Alta also speak Tagalog. Southern Alta is not particularly close to Northern Alta or to other languages of Luzon. Both Northern and Southern Alta have a significant proportion of vocabulary that is unique to each other, however, they are also very different from the other. Many Southern Alta also interact primarily with Tagalog speakers, sharing similarities between both languages. Tagalog is a more widely spoken language in the Philippines, using an alphabet that has five vowels and fifteen consonants. Although Southern Alta and Tagalog share similarities, Southern Alta still remains a very distinct language t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Northern Alta Language
Northern Alta (also called Edimala) is a distinctive Aeta language of the mountains of the Sierra Madre in Aurora province, Northern Philippines. Linguist Lawrence Reid reports two different Alta languages, Northern and Southern Alta, which form one of the high nodes of the Northern Luzon languages, together with the South-Central Cordilleran subgroup. Although the Alta languages are genetically related, they have a low level of mutual intelligibility. Jason Lobel and Laura Robinson did fieldwork on Northern Alta in 2006 (Lobel 2013:87). Alexandro García-Laguía did fieldwork for extended periods between 2013 and 2021 and created a language documentation corpus and a grammatical description of the language. Geographical distribution There are Northern Alta speakers known as Edimala who live in the Sierra Madre along the river valleys that flow out to the Baler plain in Aurora Province. The Northern Alta also reportedly live in Dibut, on the coast south of Baler municipalit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nagtipunan Agta is a Northeastern Luzon language. It is one of the Aeta languages. The language was discovered by Jason Lobel and Laura Robinson in Nagtipunan, Quirino (Lobel 2013:88).

Casiguran Agta Language
Casiguran Dumagat Agta, also known as Casiguran Agta (after the endonym Agta, the name which the people call themselves and their language), is a Northeastern Luzon language spoken in the northern Philippines. It is spoken by around 610 speakers, most of whom live in the San Ildefonso Peninsula, across the bay from Casiguran, Aurora. The language was first documented in 1936 by Christian missionaries. There are many surviving works oFather Morice Vanoverberghthat document the language. Although the language has gone through rapid cultural change since his early work, the Father's writings still give a window of insight into what the language and the culture of the people was. Since then it has been continually documented by the late SIL linguists Thomas and Janet Headland. A New Testament translation was published in 1979, titled ''Bigu a Tipan: I mahusay a baheta para ta panahun tam.'' Among the languages spoken by Philippine "Negrito" populations, Casiguran Dumagat Agta has ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ga'dang Language
Ga'dang or Gâdang is an Austronesian language spoken in Northern Luzon, Philippines particularly in Paracelis, Mountain Province, Luzon; Alfonso Lista, Ifugao; and Tabuk, Kalinga. There are some residents of speakers in Aurora and Nueva Vizcaya. Many Ga'dang speakers speak Ilocano as their second language. Phonology The Ga'dang language is related to Ibanag, Itawis, Malaueg and others. It is distinct in that it features phonemes not present in many neighboring Philippine languages. As an example, the "f", "v", "z" and "j" sounds appear in Ga'dang. There are notable differences from other languages in the distinction between "r" and "l" (and between "r" and "d"), and the "f" sound is a voiceless bilabial fricative somewhat distinct from the fortified "p" sound common in many Philippine languages (but not much closer to the English voiceless labiodental fricative The voiceless labiodental fricative is a type of consonantal sound used in a number of spoken languages.

Gaddang Language
The Gaddang language (also Cagayan) is and Austronesian language spoken by up to 30,000 of the Gaddang people in the Philippines, particularly along the Magat and upper Cagayan rivers in the Region II provinces of Nueva Vizcaya and Isabela and by overseas migrants to countries in Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe, in the Middle East, United Kingdom and the United States. Most Gaddang speakers also speak Ilocano, the lingua franca of Northern Luzon, as well as Tagalog and English. Gaddang is associated with the "Christianized Gaddang" people, and is closely related to the highland (''non-Christian'' in local literature) tongues of Ga'dang with 6,000 speakers, Yogad, Cagayan Agta with less than 1,000 and Atta with 2,000 (although the Negrito Aeta and Atta are genetically unrelated to the Austronesian Gaddang), and more distantly to Ibanag, Itawis, Isneg and Malaweg. The Gaddang tongue has been vanishing from daily and public life over the past half-century. Public and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
