Atta is an Austronesian dialect cluster spoken by the Aeta (Agta) Negritos of the northern Philippines.

Varieties

There are three varieties according to Ethnologue.

Faire Atta (Southern Atta): spoken near Faire, Rizal, Cagayan
Pamplona Atta (Northern Cagayan Negrito): spoken in Pamplona, Cagayan; similar to northern Ibanag
Pudtol Atta: spoken in Pudtol, Apayao, and the Abulog river area south of Pamplona

Villa Viciosa Atta, supposed once spoken in Villaviciosa, Abra, is presumed to be related, but is unattested.^[2]
