	Ilocano
		Ilocano is spoken as a first language by some 8 million people in Northern Luzon and in various parts of the Philippines (Ethnologue), and as a second language by another 1-2 million speakers in the northern areas of Luzon.
		Ilocano is a non-tonal language with a relatively small number of phonemes.
		Since Ilocano is related to Tagalog, a Category II language in terms of difficulty for speakers of English, it is reasonable to assume that it is also belongs in this category.

	Ilocano (Ilokano) Language
		The original Ilocano homeland is in Northwest Luzon (the provinces of Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Abra, and La Union), but Ilocanos have populated many regions of the Philippines, and in many cases they predominate over the native ethnic group of the new lands to which they migrate.
		Because of the importance of Ilocano in Northern Luzon, it has been called the "National Language of the North." Many ethnic groups from the northern regions of the country are more at home in their second language, Ilocano, than the national language of the country, Tagalog (Pilipino).
		However, due to the migration of the Ilocanos southward and eastward, much of northern Luzon is heavily influenced by Ilocano language and culture.

		Ilocano is a Northern Philippine language of the Cordilleran language family spoken by about ten million people originally from Northwest Luzon Island, the largest island of the Philippine archipelago.
		Because the Ilocanos have been historically a very migratory people, the language is also spoken by large groups in certain enclaves of the Philippine archipelago, and even by large communities in the major urban centers of the United States.
		Like all roots in the Ilocano language, these sounds may also be verbalized with the appropriate morphology to encode the action most associated with the animal as it produces the sound.

	ilocano
		Ilocano (spelled ILOKANO in Philippine Orthography), like all its sister languages, is an Austronesian language of the Philippine type spoken by about ten million people.
		Because of the remarkably stable history of the Ilocano language owing to the fact that the Ilocano people have populated much of the Kailokuan from a small homogeneous homeland, dialect diversity is minimal.
		The original Ilocano speaking areas (in the provinces of Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur) are said to speak the purest form of the language, called by Ilocanos 'nauneg nga Iloko' (deep Ilocano).

	Ilocano Empanada » Pinoy Food :: Filipino Food PhotoBlog » Blog Archive
		The first time I ever ate Ilocano empanada was at the Tiendesitas.
		The dough used to enclose the filling is thin and crisp, mostly because Ilocano empanada is deep-fried rather than baked.
		When you eat the Ilocano empanada, the filling is special as it contains grated papaya, with a little ground meat from Ilocano longganisa.

		SAN NICOLAS, Ilocos Norte—Almost two years and four months ago today, I had the rare chance of a whole night one-on-one with a young Ilocano business tycoon in their family house somewhere in Ilocos Norte.
		Today, as I watch men constructing a huge drainage canal at the periphery of a now-developed 20-hectare land at the boundary of Laoag City and San Nicolas town, the message of the young Ilocano registers more clearly in the mind.
		The developer could rightly state that they are bringing a version of Ayala or Ortigas Center to the heart of the traditional and countryside Ilocos.
