Limos Kalinga (pronounced Kalingga), or Linimos, as it is referred to by its speakers, is one of ten Kalinga dialects. According to Reid (1974), Kalinga is in the Central Cordilleran subgroup of Philippine languages, and is coordinate with Itneg; both are coordinate with Bontoc and Kankanay; and all are coordinate with Isinai. Figure 1 is taken from Reid (1989:57) and is a revision of his earlier subgrouping of the Cordilleran languages.
here are an estimated 70,000 to 80,000 Kalinga living in the mountainous Kalinga sub-province of Kalinga Apayo in northern Luzon, Republic of the Philippines. The term Kalinga means 'headhunter' in Limos Kalinga. Linimos itself is spoken by about 8,000 people living in about ten villages in the municipality of Pinokpok (Limos Kalinga: 'clearing') along the lower Saltan river.
