They are also called as "Iferangao" to describe both the people and their geographical origin. "i" means "from" or "of" and "ferangao" is the vernacular term for the people. Hence,"iferangao" means "the people from Balangao". Though these terms are interchangeably uesd, "ferangao" may also be used to call the people or the place. However, "iferangao" may strictly mean the people. They are also named as "balangao" and this is the name of their dialect. This group of people is different from its neighboring ethnic groups that are well known in the Cordillera such as Ifugao,Kankanaey,Baliwon or Kalinga. Their dialect, culture, customs, practices are unique from the other groups.--MarCanus 04:39, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
