The following languages are grouped according to their geographic location, and not genetic classification.

Umiray Dumaget •

Dupaningan Agta,
Pahanan Agta,
Casiguran Agta,
Nagtipunan Agta,
Dinapigue Agta, and
Paranan do not belong to the Northern Cordilleran branch, but rather a new branch that they call
Northeastern Luzon, which they consider to be a primary branch of the Northern Luzon (Cordilleran) group. ;Zambales Mountains •

Mount Iraya Agta (a.k.a. East Lake Buhi Agta) •
Dicamay Agta: spoken on the Dicamay River on the western side of the Sierra Madre near
Jones, Isabela; reportedly exterminated by Ilokano homesteaders sometime between 1957 and 1974 •
Villa Viciosa Agta Ethnologue adds the extinct and unclassified
Katabaga of
Catanauan,
Quezon, southern Luzon. The language was originally listed by Garvan. Katabaga is in fact a misspelling of
Katabangan, the name that the people use to refer to themselves. Some people in the Bikol Region also use the term
Katabangan to refer to mixed-blood Agta in the region. Lobel reports from a 2006 visit that the Katabangan speak only Tagalog. According to Lobel (2013), based on their location, if the Katabangan did in fact once have their own language, it may have been related to Inagta Alabat-Lopez (see
Inagta Alabat language) and
Manide. Louward Allen Zubiri reports that there are 670 individuals in the Katabangan community, and that there are also families living in Mulanay, Gumaca, Lopez, and Alabat. He also reports on a handful of vocabulary items remembered by the Katabangan which offer evidence for a close relationship of their now-lost language with Manide and Inagta Alabat.
