Itneg
Itneg
Itneg is a general term that refers to speakers of Itneg languages who reside on Luzon in the Philippines. The Summer Institute of Linguistics lists four Itneg languages: Binongan (Tinggian, Tinguian, Tinngguian), Inlaod, Masadiit, and Southern. In 1975 the total number of Itneg speakers was 50,000, although almost all were bilingual in Ilocano. Itneg-speaking groups have been in contact with various neighboring groups such as the Bontok, Kalingas, Overseas Chinese traders, and Ilocano for some time, and today are assimilated into Ilocano society.
