(west Mindanao), with exception of a sing-le strip on the coast. [See 

 Die Su])anos (Mindanao), by Blumentritt, Das Ausland, Stutto-art 

 1891, pp. 392-395.] "^ ' 



S>iffht.—Au Ig-orrotes dialect. The / in the name would hint at 

 Guinaanes or Ifug-aos. The official nomenclature in 1865 so charac- 

 terizes a dialect spoken in Bontok. 



Tahanus, see Tagbanuccs. 



Tadimian. — Another name for those Mongoloid Manguianes who 

 li\'e in the mountain vales of Pinamalayan (Mindoro). 



TagahaloyeH. — In a chart of the Philippines for 1744, by P. Murillo 

 Velardi, S. J., this name is to be seen west of Caraga and Bislig (Min- 

 danao). English authors speak of the Tagabaloyes, Waitz mentions 

 their clear color, and Mas calls them Igorrotes. Others add that they 

 were Mestizos of Indians and Japanese, and more fables to the same 

 effect. Their region has been well explored, but only Manobos and 

 Mandayas have been found there. The last named are clear colored, 

 so Tag'abaloyes seems to be another name for Mandayas. The name 

 sounds temptingly like Tagabelies. 



Variants: Tag'balvoys, Tagabaloyes, Tagolialooys, etc. 



Tagahawas. — Dr. Montano reports that this is not a numerous people 

 and that it is made up of a mixture of Manabos, Bagobos, and Tagacao- 

 los. Their dwelling places are scattered on both sides of Davao Bay 

 (Mindanao), especially near Rio Hijo. 



Tagahelies.—K heathen people of Malay origin, living in the region 

 between the Bay of Sarangani and Lake Buluan (Mindanao). Since 

 they call themselves Taga-bulu (people of Bulu). it is suspected that 

 they, like the Buluanes or Bilanes, derive their name from the lake 

 mentioned. 



TagaJjotes.—K people of Mindanao mentioned in the Ilustracion 



Filipina (1860, No. 17). 



Tagahuln, see Tagahelie^, also Tagahdi 



TagacaoloH.—K Malay, heathen people. Their settlements are scat- 

 tered among those of other tribes on both sides of the (Julf of Davao 

 (Mindanao). Compare also Loac. Their name Taga-ca-olo would 

 mean ''dwellers on the river sources." 



Variant: Tagalaogos. 



Tagnlo.^, Tagalog (elsewhere Tag(da^.-A Malay people of ancient 

 civilization, possessing already an alphabet in pre-Spanish times. 

 They are Christians, and inhabit the provinces and territoiy of the 

 following: Manila, Corregidor, Cavite, Bataan, Bulaca.u Batangas, 

 Infanta, Laguna, Mindoro; in less degree, Tayabas. Zambales, Nueva 

 Ecija, Isabela, and Principe. They form, with the Visayas and Ilo- 

 canes, the greater part of the native population, as well by then- 

 numbers as by their grade of culture. Their language is called Hvgn- 

 log. [See BHnton, American Anthropologist, 1898, XI, pp. o(..,-30b.J
