History of Iloko
Ilokanos originated in the Ilocos region of northwestern Luzon. As the population grew, they migrated throughout the Cordillera and Cagayan Valley, making Iloko the regional lingua franca. Many Ilokanos emigrated to Hawaii as plantation workers in the early 1900s, establishing large communities in Hawaii and California.
