Ilonggo is not a language. Ilonggo refers to people who trace their ethnic roots or bloodline to Iloilo Province on Panay’s Bisaya Island. The majority of the Ilonggos in Iloilo speak the Hiligaynon language; in some parts of Iloilo near the Antique border, some Ilonggos speak Kinaray-a. Hiligaynon is also the language spoken in Bacolod and Negros Occidental provinces, Roxas, Guimaras, and parts of Cotabato in Mindanao..

The term “Ilonggo” is derived from the Spanish term “irong-irong”, referring to the Filipino word for nose (“ilong”) and an islet in the Batiano River in Panay. “Ilonggo” is considered to define a specific group of people whose ethnic origins are in the provinces of Iloilo, Guimaras, and Panay, while “Hiligaynon” defines the language and culture of the Ilonggo people.Thus, both terms are interchangeable in referring to the culture of the people or the people themselves
