pagnapagna: TRANSLATION 101-3 Ifugao (Tinoc)

Municipality : Tinoc
Province : Ifugao
Region : Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR)
Country : Philippines
Dialect : Kalanguya

The Province of Ifugao also harbors many dialects that may differ from one municipality to the other.

The municipality of Tinoc particularly at barangay Binablayan, where our translator came from, speaks the "Kalanguya" and they also speak iloco (ilocano) which make them easier to transact with their neighboring ilocano-speaking provinces.

If you find this story/blogpost interesting and/or had helped you in any way (in your researches, works, travels, blogs, adventures, homeworks at school, a personal project and more), I'd like to hear a word or two from wonderful people like you or simply Like "pagnapagna" in Facebook. I'd be very thankful. It gives me inspirations. Cheers!
