The Batanic languages (sometimes called ‘Bashiic’ or ‘Ivatanic’ or ‘Vasayic’) are four closely related languages which together form a subgroup of the Austronesian language family. Three of the languages (Ivatan, Babuyan and Itbayat) are spoken on Batan and three other small Batanes Islands, which are Northern Philippine islands located between Taiwan and Luzon. The fourth, Yami, is spoken on Lanyu (Orchid Island), near Taiwan.
