Ifugao or Batad is a Malayo-Polynesian language spoken in the Ifugao Province of the northern valleys Philippines, closely related to Bontok and Kankana-ey.[3] It is a dialect continuum, and its four main varieties—such as Tuwali—are sometimes considered separate languages.[4]
Loanwords from other languages, such as Ilocano language, are replacing some older terminology.[5]

The unified Ifugao alphabet is as follows: A, B, D, E, G, H, I, K, L, M, N, Ng, O, P, T, U, W, Y. The letters are pronounced differently depending on the dialect of speaker.[6]
