Excerpt: Ilocano (Ti Pagsasao nga Iloco) (also called Ilocano, Iluko, Iloco, Iloco, Ylocano, and Yloco) is the third most-spoken language of the Republic of the Philippines. An Austronesian language, it is related to such languages as Indonesian, Malay, Fijian, Maori (of New Zealand), Hawaiian, Malagasy (of Madagascar), Samoan, Tahitian, Chamorro (of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands), Tetum (of East Timor), and Paiwan (of Taiwan). Ilocanos are descendants of Austronesian-speaking people from Southern China via Taiwan. Families and clans arrived by viray or bilog, meaning "boat". The term Ilocano, as commonly accepted, originates from i-, "from", and looc, "cove or bay", thus "people of the bay." But some modern scholars, however, argue that as taking into consideration the Ilocano tradition of giving names to their place of residency is concerned, the i + looc etymology is not of local origin. These scholars suggest that the term Ilocano comes from "i-", "from", and "lucong", "the flat lands" or "the lowlands". Ilocanos also refer to themselves as Samtoy, a contraction from the Ilocano phrase sao mi atoy, "this is our language". Ilocano comprises its own branch in the Philippine Cordilleran family of languages. It is spoken as a native language by eight million people. A lingua franca of the northern region, it is spoken as a secondary language by more than two million people who are native speakers of Pangasinan, Ibanag, Ivatan, and other languages in Northern Luzon.
