[@J11_boohoo]

@@JemuBitayong.9716 idk but as an Isnag from Apayao, specifically Kabugao (the purest isnag municipality) many people don’t speak in ilocano
I did not grow up hearing ilocano that much like many ikabugaos

@@JemuBitayong.9716 actually the first lingua franca of the north was ibanag since they were the first that the spanish came across in northern luzon
In southern cordillera, kalanguya was used instead of ilocano pre colonially
Ilocano only became used as a lingua franca later on when the ilocanos spread across luzon
