Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox language
The Iraya language is a language spoken by Mangyans on the island of Mindoro in the Philippines. Zorc (1974) places the Iraya language within the North Mangyan group of Malayo-Polynesian languages,Шаблон:Sfn though Lobel (2013) notes that it shows "considerable differences" to Tadyawan and Alangan, the other languages in this group.Шаблон:Sfn There are 6,000 to 8,000 Iraya speakers, and that number is growing. The language status of Iraya is developing, meaning that this language is being put to use in a strong and healthy manner by its speakers, and it also has its own writing system (though not yet completely common nor maintainable).
Ethnologue reports that Iraya is spoken in the following municipalities of northern Mindoro island.
- Mindoro Occidental Province: Paluan, Abra de Ilog, northern Mamburao, and Santa Cruz municipalities
- Mindoro Oriental Province: Puerto Galera and San Teodoro municipalities
Barbian (1977) also lists the location of Calamintao, on the northeastern boundary of Santa Cruz municipality (Шаблон:Convert up the Pagbahan River from the provincial highway).Шаблон:Sfn
The language is not well documented, though a translation of the Bible is available locally.Шаблон:Citation needed
Dialects and speech registers
There are different dialects spoken in the North East, North West, and Southwest areas.[1] Some of these dialects are the following:
- Abra de Ilog
- Alag Bako
- Pagbahan
- Palauan-Calavite
- Pambuhan
Basic vocabulary and grammar is shared across the dialects. Besides differences in pronunciation, the dialects differ in their preferred usage of words and expressions from the general Iraya vocabulary stock. Furthermore, there are regional borrowings from adjacent languages. Iraya from the lowland, living between the foothills and the plains, adopted some words from Tagalog. Iraya living in the foothills, or on the lower slopes of Ht. Halcon, adopted words from the closely related Alangan language.
Besides a generally used colloquial register called Шаблон:Lang, Iraya knows a quasi-liturgical speech register known as Шаблон:Lang. This type of speech is used in power songsШаблон:Clarify used by shamans of Occidental Mindoro. Шаблон:Lang is only understood by Shamans, and other people do not recognize this speech. A recording of the power song can be found in the San Teodoro area of Oriental Mindoro.
Phonemes
The Iraya languages distinguishes 20 phonemes:
- 13 consonants: p, b, m, t, d, l, s, r, k, g, ŋ, ‘
- 3 semivowels: w, y, h
- 4 vowels: i, a, e [ɨ], o
The following charts illustrate the phonemes by articulation. The consonant Шаблон:IPA is represented as Шаблон:Angbr in common writing, and the high central vowel Шаблон:IPA is represented by Шаблон:Angbr. The consonant Шаблон:IPA can have both a dental or alveolar point of articulation.

| Mid | Шаблон:IPA link | ||
| Low | Шаблон:IPA link |
Intonation
Declarative paragraph: The first sentence starts at a high pitch. Then, each of the next sentences have a lower pitch. The last sentence will have the lowest pitch.
Emotional or dramatic paragraphs: This is the opposite of declarative paragraphs. Each sentence becomes higher than the previous sentence, until the last sentence ends with a more or less higher pitch and long pause.
Syllables
The following syllable types are used in the Iraya language. (C = consonant; V = vowel)
- CV (e.g. Шаблон:Lang 'you'; Шаблон:Lang 'who')
- CVC (e.g. Шаблон:Lang 'why; what')
- CCV (e.g. Шаблон:Lang 'fireworks')
- CCVC (e.g. Шаблон:Lang 'place; put')
In consonant clusters, the Iraya language only uses /w/ or /r/ as the second consonant in an onset cluster, as in the two examples Шаблон:Lang and Шаблон:Lang presented above (the latter being a Spanish loanword).
Pronouns
Nominative (or subjective) and genitive (or possessive) cases are distinguished for pronouns. For example, the pronoun 'I' translated to Шаблон:Lang in Iraya, and the pronoun 'my' is Шаблон:Lang. The Iraya language has dual pronoun forms based on the numeral 'two'. The following table presents the Iraya pronominal paradigm.Шаблон:Sfn

| nominative | genitive | ||||

| Why | Шаблон:Lang |

The two words Шаблон:Lang and Шаблон:Lang both translate to 'how much, how many' but have different uses. Examples of these question words are given below:
