The Ivatan (Ibatan) language, also known as Chirin nu Ibatan (language of the Ivatan people), is an Austronesian language
spoken in the Batanes Islands. Despite the islands' closer proximity to Taiwan than Luzon, it is not one of the Formosan languages.
Ivatan is one of the Batanic languages, which are perhaps a primary branch of the Malayo-Polynesian family of Austronesian
languages. The language of Babuyan Island is a dialect. Babuyan was depopulated by the Spanish and only repopulated at the
end of the Spanish era with families from Batan Island. |
