TRANSLATION 101-2A Kalinga (Tanudan Area)

Municipality  : Tanudan
Province       : Kalinga
Region          : Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR)
Country         : Philippines
Dialect          : Nimangali / Taluktok (mixed)

Aside from their main dialect, the Cordillerans generally knows how to speak Ilocano which is a great advantage. They can converse well with the people from the neighboring Ilocano speaking provinces such as Isabela, La Union, Ilocos Sur, Ilocos Norte and take note some of their words are similar with Ilocano and  Pangasinense.

Again, In Kalinga their dialects may vary slightly from one municipality to the other.

I have given a list of words and sentences in English to a native of Tanudan, Kalinga for him to translate in their own local dialect.

Here is the summary of his answers:
