Mount Iraya Agta is aBikol language spoken by a semi-nomadichunter-gathererAgta (Negrito) people of thePhilippines, east ofLake Buhi inLuzon. It is mutually intelligible withMount Iriga Agta on the other side of the lake.
As of 2013, the Mount Iraya Agta language may be extinct.[2] The Mount Iraya Agta live on the eastern side ofLake Buhi inCamarines Sur, near the border with the town ofTiwi, Albay. Mount Iraya Agta had borrowed so heavily from Bikol that it was indistinguishable from neighboring non-Agta languages except for a very small amount of lexicon, based on evidence from a 1984 SIL wordlist. The Mount Iraya Agta people now speakBuhinon and Bikol Naga/Partido.
