The languages are Alangan, Iraya, and Tadyawan.

There is some evidence that points at a closer relationship of the Northern Mindoro languages with the Central Luzon languages. Both branches share the phonological innovation Proto-Austronesian *R > /y/ and some common lexical items such as *ʔakit "to see", *dimla "cold".[2][3][4]
