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]
There is some evidence that points at a closer relationship of the Northern Mindoro languages with the
Central Luzon languages. Both branches share the phonological innovation
Proto-Austronesian *R > /y/ and some common lexical items such as *ʔakit 'to see', *dimla 'cold'.[1][2][3]
