UNESCO classifies it as endangered. Most younger Ibaloi descendants now grow up speaking Ilocano, English, or Tagalog, and access to dictionaries and language references is limited. This app is a community project to make Ibaloi easier to look up, learn, and pass on — for elders, for diaspora, for linguistics students, and for anyone curious about the languages of the Philippine highlands. PRIVACY The app is fully offline. No sign-in, no analytics, no network calls, no data collection. Everything you search, translate, or look up stays on your device.
