Ilocano; Ilokano

Japanese: イロカノ族 - イロカノぞく(英語表記)Ilocano; Ilokano
Ilocano; Ilokano
A Malay ethnic group based in the Ilocos region in the northwest of Luzon, Philippines. At the beginning of Spanish rule, they mostly lived in the Ilocos region, but now they have spread to the Cagayan River basin in the east and the hinterland of Lingayen Gulf in the south, with many migrating to Mindanao and Hawaii. Ilocano belongs to the Austronesian language family, but the speaker population is estimated to be about 5 million. Their main occupation is upland rice cultivation, and they also grow various vegetables and raise pigs, chickens, and goats. Their main source of cash income is tobacco, but they generally earn cash from handicrafts and wage labor during the dry season. Many live in farming villages called barrios and are Catholics.

フィリピンのルソン島北西部イロコス地域を本拠とするマレー系の一民族。スペインによる統治が始った頃は,ほとんどイロコス地域に居住していたが,現在では東方のカガヤン川流域,南方のリンガエン湾後背地にまで及び,ミンダナオ島やハワイへの移住も多い。イロカノ語はオーストロネシア語族に属するが,話者人口はおよそ 500万人に達すると推定される。陸稲栽培が主生業で,各種の野菜を栽培し,豚,鶏,やぎなどを飼育している。おもな現金収入源はタバコであるが,一般には乾季に手工芸品や賃金労働で現金を得る。多くはバリオと呼ばれる農村に住み,カトリックを信仰する。
