Hiliguayna?.--A Visaya dialect spoken on the coast of the island of Panay. Variants: Hiligueyna, Hiligvoyna.
Hillunas, Hilloonas, see Illanos.
Ibalones?.--Ancient name of Bicols, especially those of Albay.
Ibanag.--Name of the language spoken by the Cagayanes. They possess the letter f.
Idan, Idaan.--The Idan, sought by non-Spanish authors on the islands of Palawan and Sulu, have not been found.
Ifugaos.--A dreaded Malay head-hunting people who inhabit the provinces of Nueva Vizcaya and Isabela and the lately formed comandancia of Quiangan. To them belong the Quianganes, Silipanos, etc. They are heathen. Their language possesses the sound of f.
Ifumangies.--According to Diaz Arenas, this name applies to a tribe of Igorots who were then in the province of Nueva Vizcaya. The f in their name leads to the suspicion that they are Ifugaos.
Ibilaos.--A Malay head-hunting people, having also apparently Negrito blood in their veins. They are heathen and inhabit the border lands of Nueva Vizcaya and Nueva Ecija.
Igorots.--With the name Ygolot the first chroniclers characterized the warlike heathen who now inhabit Benguet, therefore the pure Igorots. Later, the name extended to all the head-hunters of northern Luzon; still later it was made to cover the Philippine islanders collectively, and to-day the title is so comprehensive that the name Igorot is synonymous with wild. According to Hans Meyer, the name applies only to the Igorots of Lepanto and Benguet, who speak the dialects Inibaloi, Cancanai, Cataoan, and a fourth , that of the Berpe Data.
Variant: Ygolot, Ygulut.
Ilamut.--Name of an Igorot tribe always mentioned together with that of Altsanes. If this tribe really exists, its home is in the Cordilleras which separate Benguet from Nueva Vizcaya, and is to be sought, indeed, in the last-named province, especially in Quiangan. They may be identical with the Alimut.
Ilanos, Illanos.--The Moros dwelling in the territory of Illano, Mindanao. Their name should be connected with Lanao, "lake," since their land incloses Lake Dagum, or Lanao. This conjecture is strengthened through the names Lanun, Lanaos, Malanaos, existing in the neighborhood.
Ileabanes.--According to Diaz Arenas there existed an Igorot tribe of this name in the province of Nueva Vizcaya.
Ilocanos.--A Malay people, with language of their own. At the discovery they had their peculiar culture and an alphabet. They inhabit the provinces of Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Union, and form the civic population of Abra, whose Tinguian peasants they Ilocanise. Since they are fond of wandering, their settlements are scattered in other provinces of Luzon, as Benguet, Pampanga, Cagayan, Isabela de Luzon, Pangasinan, Zambales, and Nueva Ecija. They are to be found as far as the east coast of Luzon. They are Christians and civilized.
Ilongotes.--A Malay people of apparent Mongoloid type, inhabiting the borders of Nueva Vizcaya, Isabela, and Principe, and known also in Nueva Ecija. They are bloodthirsty head-hunters.
Indios.--Under this title the Spanish understand the non-Mohammedanized natives of Malay descent, especially those Christianized and civilized.
Infieles.--Heathen, uncivilized peoples of Malay descent; were so named by the Spaniards.
Inibaloi.--Name of the dialect spoken by the Igorots Agnothales.
Insulares.--Spaniards born in the Philippine Archipelago.
Irapis.--After Mas, a subdivision of Igorots.
Irayas.--A Malay people mixed with Negrito blood, who dwell south of the Catalanganes and in the western declivities of the Cordillera of Palanan . They speak the same language as the Catalanganes, and are likewise heathen. Their name seems to mean "dwellers on the plains," "owners of plains." To them the collective name Calinga is applied.
Isinays .--In the eighteenth century the heathen population of the then mission province of Ituy were so called, which includes the present communities of Aritao, Dupax, Banibang, Bayombong . It is not certain whether they are a separate people or are identical with Gaddanus, Italones, or Ifugaos.

Itaves.--So used the language of the Calauas to be called; still there are authors who affirm that these two are different. Nothing certain is known concerning this name, which is also written Itaues, Itanes. From latest accounts, this is a dialect of Gaddan.
Itetapanes .--According to Buzeta and Bravo, a head-hunting Malay people mixed with Negrito blood, living on the western borders of Isabela de Luzon and perhaps also in Bontok.

Malanaos.--Common name of those Moros, specially of Ilanos, who inhabit the shores of Malanas Lake .
Malancos.--A tribe alleged to be settled in Mindanao, but the name is plainly an error for Malanaos.
