The Iraya Mangyan of northern Mindoro are often reported to be a “Negrito” population. I cannot confirm this as I have never traveled to an Iraya community, and the Iraya who I met in lowland areas near the highway did not have any overtly Black Filipino physical features. The Iraya language has been classified as a Northern Mangyan language by Zorc (1974b), but also shows considerable differences from the other languages in this subgroup, Tadyawan and Alangan. While a Bible translation has been available locally for years, no other data is available for this language apart from the data in Zorc (1974b) and a thesis by Barbian (1977)
