The Arta language, or Edilod, is a Philippine language spoken by around ten native speakers in Quirino and Aurora provinces in Luzon, the Philippines. This language belongs to the branch of the Northern Luzon of the Malayo-Polynesian subgroup of Austronesian. The speakers are all so-called Negrito population, mostly over the age of 50. This dictionary in progress is based on the data collected by Yukinori Kimoto, since 2012.
