The Batanic languages (sometimes also called Bashiic or Ivatanic) are a dialect cluster of the Austronesian language family. They are spoken on Babuyan Island, just north of Luzon; three of the Batanes Islands, between the Philippines and Taiwan; and on Orchid Island off southern Taiwan.

The varieties in the Philippines are called Ivatan (also spelled Ibatan), or are named Babuyan, Batan, or Itbayat after their islands, while the variety of Taiwan is called Yami or Tao.

Classification[edit]

There are three languages:[2]

Yami (Imurud, Iraralay, Iranumilek dialects) on Orchid Island

Itbayat on Itbayat Island

Ivatan (Ivasay, Isamurung, Babuyan dialects) on Batan, Sabtang, and Babuyan Islands.

Moriguchi (1983) classifies the Batanic languages as follows.

Poroto-Vasayic

Itbayaten

Vasay

(branch)

Babuyan, Isamorong

Yami: Iraralay, Imorod

According to Paul Jen-kuei Li (2000),[3] Yami is most closely related to Itbayat. Among the Batanic languages, Iraralay is the most conservative (Li 2000).

The Batanic languages are frequently included with the Northern Philippine languages. However, Ross (2005) found that they are not demonstrably related to any particular branch of Malayo-Polynesian, and so may constitute a primary branch of their own.
