 Ethnic groups in the Philippines
The islands of the Philippines are inhabited by more than 175 Ethnolinguistic Nations, the majority of
whose own languages are Austronesian languages in origin. Many of these nations converted to Christianity
, particularly the lowland-coastal nations, and adopted many foreign elements of culture. Ethnolinguistic
nations include the Ivatan Ethnic Nation, Ilocano Ethnic Nation, Pangasinan Ethnic Nation, Kapampangan
Ethnic Nation, Tagalog Ethnic Nation, Bicolano Ethnic Nation, Visayans (Masbateño Ethnic Nation,
Ilonggo Ethnic Nation, Cebuano Ethnic Nation, Waray Ethnic Nation, Butuanon Ethnic Nation,
Romblomanon Ethnic Nation, Kamayo Ethnic Nation, Cuyunon Ethnic Nation and Surigaonon),
Zamboangueño Ethnic Nation, Subanon Ethnic Nation and a lot more.
 In western Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago, there are ethnolinguistic nations who practice Islam.
The Spanish called them Moros after the Moors (despite no resemblance or cultural ties to them apart
from their religion). In the Agusan Marsh and the highlands of Mindanao, there are native ethnic groups
collectively known as the Lumad. Unlike the Moros, these people do not practice Islam, and maintain
their animistic beliefs and traditions though some of them have converted to Christianity as well.
 The Negrito are a pre-Austronesian people who migrated from mainland Asia and were among the
earliest human beings to settle the Philippines. [citation needed] The first known were the people of the
Callao Man remains. The Negrito population was estimated in 2004 at around 31,000. [1] Their tribal
groups include the Ati, and the Aeta. Their ways of life remain mostly free from Western and Islamic
influences. Scholars study them to try to understand pre-Hispanic culture.
 Most Filipinos are Malayo-Polynesian, a major family within the Austronesian language family. Other
ethnolinguistic nations form a minority in the Philippine population. These include those of Spanish,
Latin American, Japanese, Chinese particularly the Hokkien Ethnic and Cantonese Ethnic, Indians
particularly the Punjabi Ethnic, Tamil Ethnic and Kerala Ethnic, English, Castilian, and other
ethnolinguistic nations from other countries. Mixed-race or mixed-ethnicity individuals are known as
mestizo.
