Classification

Anthropologist H. Otley Beyer describes Yogad as a variant of Gaddang language and the people as a sub-group of the Gaddang people in his 1917 catalogue of Philippines ethnic groups.{{Cite book |last=Beyer |first=H. Otley |url=http://name.umdl.umich.edu/AFP8308.0001.001 |title=Population of the Philippine Islands in 1916 (población de las islas Filipinas en 1916) |publisher=Philippine Education Co., Inc. |year=1917 |location=Manila |page=22 |language=en, es}} Glottolog presently groups it as a member of the Gaddangic group; in 2015, however, Ethnologue placed Yogad as a separate member of the Ibanagic language family. Godfrey Lambrecht, CICM, also distinguished separately the peoples who spoke the two languages.{{Cite journal |last=Lambrecht |first=Godfrey |date=1959 |title=The Gadang of Isabela and Nueva Vizcaya: Survivals of a Primitive Animistic Religion |url=http://www.philippinestudies.net/ojs/index.php/ps/article/view/3033 |journal=Philippine Studies |volume=7 |issue=2 |pages=194–218 |jstor=42719440}}
