This page covers special considerations for Kankanaey entries and Kankanaey translations of English entries.

Orthography

edit

Kankanaey lemmas should generally use Ilocano-based spellings, and by extension Tagalog. The latest orthography of the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF) on Kankanaey, titled Ortograpia di Kankanaëy, is available here.

Spellings using the older Spanish-based orthography (usually loanwords from Ilocano) are allowed, but should generally serve as soft redirects to modern forms.

Lemmas

edit

In general, lemmas for Kankanaey are generally the same as in Ilocano. Some considerations:

  • Nouns: both bare roots or stems, and derived affixed or compound forms
  • Verbs: affixed infinitive
  • Adjectives: both bare roots and affixed forms derived from noun roots
