Umiray Dumaget is difficult to classify. Himes (2002) posits a Greater Central Philippine connection.[5] However, Lobel (2013)[6]: 230 believes that Umiray Dumaget may be a primary branch of thePhilippine languages, or may be related to theNortheastern Luzon languages, Sambali-Ayta (Central Luzon), orManide and Inagta Alabat. According to Lobel (2013), Umiray Dumaget does not subgroup in theCentral Philippine or evenGreater Central Philippine branches.[7]
