The Northern Mindoro (North Mangyan) languages are one of two small clusters of languages spoken by the Mangyan people of Mindoro Island in the Philippines.[1]
The languages are Alangan, Iraya, and Tadyawan.
Ronald Himes (2012)[2] and Lawrence Reid (2017)[3] suggest that the Northern Mindoro languages may group with the Central Luzon languages. Both branches share the phonological innovation Proto-Austronesian *R > /y/.
