Ilocos 300292 157383453 2007-09-12T14:25:49Z Gökhan 1712679 tr '''Ilocos''' collectively refers to two [[Provinces of the Philippines|provinces]] in the [[Philippines]]: [[Ilocos Norte]] and [[Ilocos Sur]]. Inhabitants are called ''[[Ilocanos]]'' and they speak the language [[Iloko]], also called ''Ilocano''. The term '''Ilocos Region''' is derived from this term. However, the designation of '''Ilocos''' as the basis of the name of the region promotes the wrong notion that all the residents of Region 1 are Ilocanos. Because 28% of the inhabitants are [[Pangasinan people]], who belong to a different ethno-linguistic group from the Ilocanos. {{Philippines-geo-stub}} [[Category:Geography of the Philippines]] [[simple:Ilocos]] [[ja:イロコス地方]] [[tr:Ilocos Bölgesi]]
