Northern Alta Language
Northern Alta (also called Edimala) is a distinctive Aeta language of the mountains of the Sierra Madre in Aurora province, Northern Philippines. Linguist Lawrence Reid reports two different Alta languages, Northern and Southern Alta, which form one of the high nodes of the Northern Luzon languages, together with the South-Central Cordilleran subgroup. Although the Alta languages are genetically related, they have a low level of mutual intelligibility. Jason Lobel and Laura Robinson did fieldwork on Northern Alta in 2006 (Lobel 2013:87). Alexandro García-Laguía did fieldwork for extended periods between 2013 and 2021 and created a language documentation corpus and a grammatical description of the language.

The Northern Alta also reportedly live in Dibut, on the coast south of Baler municipali ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
