Bontoc people - Bontoc

Japanese: ボントック族 - ボントックぞく(英語表記)Bontocs
Bontoc people - Bontoc
A Proto-Malay ethnic group living mainly in Mountain Province in the northern mountainous region of Luzon in the Philippines. The population of Mountain Province (capital Bontoc) was 94,096 (1975), of which 32,800 (34.9%) spoke Bontoc as their native language. The Bontoc people are thought to share the so-called megalithic cultural complex of Southeast Asia with the Naga peoples of northeastern India and the people of Nias Island in eastern Indonesia, due to their cultural characteristics such as headhunting, merit festivals, doll-growing, animal sacrifice, construction of megalithic monuments, and skull worship.

フィリピンのルソン島北部山岳地帯のマウンテン州を中心として居住するプロト・マレー系の民族。マウンテン州(州都ボントック)の人口は9万4096(1975)で,このうちボントック語を母語とする住民は3万2800(34.9%)である。ボントック族は首狩り,勲功祭宴,雛壇耕作,動物供犠,巨石記念物の建立,頭蓋崇拝などの文化特性から,インド北東部のナーガ系諸族,東インドネシアのニアス島民などとともに,いわゆる東南アジアの巨石文化複合を共有すると考えられる。
