More about speakers

"At present, there are 19 nuclear families on Alabat Island in which at least one parent is at least one-half Agta, yet fewer than ten individuals can speak the language fluently... At present, only four elderly Agta remain in the Lopez-Guinayangan area who can speak Inagta without considerable interference from Manide... it is now much easier to find Agta in the mountains of Lopez and Guinayangan who speak only Manide and Tagalog, than to find Agta who have an appreciable degree of fluency in their own ancestral language."
