Ilocano grammar is the study of the morphological and syntactic structures of the Ilocano language, a language spoken in the northern Philippines by ethnic Ilocanos and Ilocano communities in other parts of the Philippines, especially in Mindanao and overseas such as the United States, Canada Australia, the Middle East and other parts of the world.
An alternative linguistic interpretation connects the term to the Ilocano words lúku or lúkung, which refer to flatlands, valleys, or low-lying areas. According to this explanation, "Ilocano" may have originally meant "language of the people of the lowlands," distinguishing it from the languages spoken by mountain-dwelling communities. [20]

The uniqueness of this circumstance is often expressed by saying Itneg speakers have "a hard tongue". Itneg is also one of the Philippine languages which is excluded from [ɾ]-[d] allophony.
