The Indi language, Mag-indi (or Mag-Indi Ayta) is a Sambalic language with around 5,000 speakers.[2] It is spoken within Philippine Aeta communities in San Marcelino, Zambales, and in the Pampango municipalities of Floridablanca (including in Nabuklod[4]) and Porac. There are also speakers in Lumibao and Maague-ague.[5]

Reid (1994)[6] also reports a variety called Balugà spoken in Camatsili, Floridablanca, Pampanga.
