Aritao , officially the Municipality of Aritao ( Gaddang : Ili na Aritao ; Ilocano : Ili ti Aritao ; Tagalog : Bayan ng Aritao ), is a 2nd class municipality in the province of Nueva Vizcaya , Philippines . According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 42,197 people.
18-461: The ethnic minority called Isinai (the same term for the local spoken dialect ) were the original residents of this town. Aritao is 30 kilometres (19 mi) from Bayombong , 235 kilometres (146 mi) from Manila , and 109 kilometres (68 mi) from Baguio . The name Aritao came from the Isinai phrase Ari Tau "which stands for " Our King " ( ari means king and tau means our) which refers to
36-557: A proposed group by R. David Paul Zorc (1986) and Robert Blust (1991; 2005; 2019) that include all the languages of the Philippines and northern Sulawesi , Indonesia —except Sama–Bajaw (languages of the "Sea Gypsies") and the Molbog language —and form a subfamily of Austronesian languages . Although the Philippines is near the center of Austronesian expansion from Taiwan , there

Isinai contains a definite article with three different forms that vary depending on the relation of the noun. The forms of the definite article are: ar , ardari , and war .

72-560: Is more divergent from other Central Cordilleran languages , such as Kalinga , Itneg or Ifugao and Kankanaey . According to the Ethnologue , Isinai is spoken in Bambang , Dupax del Sur , and Aritao municipalities, alongside Ilocano. Ethnologue reports Dupax del Sur, Aritao and Bambang as dialects of Isinai. However, Ethnologue also reports that the Aritao dialect is moribund. Isinai
90-505: Is relatively little linguistic diversity among the approximately 150 Philippine languages, suggesting that earlier diversity has been erased by the spread of the ancestor of the modern Philippine languages . One of the first explicit classifications of a "Philippine" grouping based on genetic affiliation was in 1906 by Frank Blake, who placed them as a subdivision of the "Malay branch" within Malayo-Polynesian (MP), which at that time
108-495: The Batanic languages , constituting Yami , Itbayat , and Ivatan , should in fact be considered as a primary MP branch. In an evaluation of the lexical innovations among the Philippine languages, Alexander Smith (2017) regards the evidence for a Philippine subgroup as weak, and concludes that "they may represent more than one primary subgroup or perhaps an innovation-defined linkage ". Chen et al. (2022) present further arguments for
126-552: The Sangiric , Minahasan , and Gorontalo groups. The genetic unity of a Philippines group has been rejected particularly by Lawrence Reid . This arose with problems in reconstructing Philippine subgroups within MP (Pawley, 1999; Ross, 2005). In a recent state-of-the art on the classification of Philippine languages, he provides multidisciplinary arguments on the field's methodological and theoretical shortcomings since Conant's description in
144-477: The lone congressional district of the province of Nueva Vizcaya , is governed by a mayor designated as its local chief executive and by a municipal council as its legislative body in accordance with the Local Government Code. The mayor, vice mayor, and the councilors are elected directly by the people through an election which is being held every three years. The Schools Division of Nueva Vizcaya governs
162-439: The Philippine languages being a convergence area rather than a unified phylogenetic subgroup. The Philippine group is proposed to have originated from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian and ultimately from Proto-Austronesian . There have been several proposals as to the composition within the group, but the most widely accepted groupings today is the consensus classifications by Blust (1991; 2005) and Reid (2017); however, both disagree on
180-633: The Secretary of the Interior. During World War II , Japanese troops entered Aritao in 1942 and were pushed out by Allied forces in 1945 after heavy fighting in the village of Kirang, which lay on the foot of the Cordillera mountain trails towards Baguio. Aritao is politically subdivided into 22 barangays . Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios . Poverty incidence of Aritao Source: Philippine Statistics Authority Aritao, belonging to
198-568: The Spaniards had already established their first permanent settlement in Nueva Vizcaya in 1714 in the town of Buhay, now Barangay Santa Clara. Afanas was later renamedto Aritao, after an Isinay word “Ari-Tau”. In January 1767, the intrepid Spanish Missionary Manuel Corripio succeeded in persuading an Igorot King called Ari Mengal and his tribe to live in the town. These people were later converted into Christianity by Fr. Tomas Gutierrez. In 1776, there

This includes Malayo-Polynesian archeology (Spriggs, 2003; 2007; 2011), and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses (Gray et al., 2009) substantiating the multiplicity of historical diffusion and divergence of languages across the archipelago. He suggests that the primary branches under this widely acknowledged Philippine group should instead be promoted as primary branches under Malayo-Polynesian . Malcolm Ross (2005) earlier also noted that
234-479: The existence of a Philippine group as a single genetic unit. An earlier classification by Zorc (1979) is presented below. From approximately north to south, a Philippine group according to his analysis of previous reconstructions are divided into two main subgroups, Northern or "Cordilleran" and Southern or "Sulic". Note that the groupings herein no longer reflect widely accepted classifications or naming conventions today. For example South Extension nowadays reflects
252-510: The legendary Isinai Chieftain Mengal, a fierce and brave king who resisted Spanish conquest of the Isinai territories around Ajanas and Ynordenan (the areas comprising what is now most of Aritao). The town of Aritao was previously called Ajanas or Afanas. It was formerly the site of an Igorot fortress that was overrun by the Spanish in 1745 which was then further fortified by the colonists. Prior to that,
270-597: The town's public education system. The division office is a field office of the DepEd in Cagayan Valley region. The office governs the public and private elementary and public and private high schools throughout the municipality. Isinai language Isinai (also spelled Isinay ) is a Northern Luzon language primarily spoken in Nueva Vizcaya province in the northern Philippines . By linguistic classification , it
288-503: The widely established Central Luzon , and North Mangyan within Cordilleran is not supported by later reconstructions; the group containing Yami , Ivatan and Itbayat is called " Bashiic " in Zorc (1977) and remains generally accepted. From approximately north to south, the Philippine languages are divided into 12 subgroups (including unclassified languages): Formerly classified as one of
306-457: Was a merger of Aritao with the settlements of Buhay, Mabatu and Pahipahi into one pueblo under the name of Aritao, which was approved by the colonial authorities, with the town center being confirmed to be in the old Aritao. During the American Era on 30 June 1917, through the initiative of Councilor Jose Aleman, the application for township of Aritao to higher authorities was finally approved by
324-489: Was considered as a family. Blake however encompasses every language within the geographic boundaries of the Philippine archipelago to be under a single group. Formal arguments in support of a specific "Proto-Philippines" were followed by Matthew Charles in 1974, Teodoro Llamzon in 1966 and 1975, and Llamzon and Teresita Martin in 1976. Blust (1991) two decades later updates this based on Zorc's (1986) inclusion of Yami , and
