Karay-a People
The Karay-a, are part of the wider Visayan ethnolinguistic group, which constitute the largest Filipino ethnolinguistic group. The name of this group was derived from the word iraya, which means "upstream". Karay-a people speak Kinaray-a language. The term Hamtikanon, is incorrectly substituted to Karay-a, however it pertains to the Karay-a people living in Antique and deals more with location of residence than ethnicity.
Kinaray-a pertains to the language that say "ray-a" to mean "that" in English ("iyan" in Tagalog, "ina" in Hiligaynon), just as well as some Karay-a people will pertain "kina-ina" to Hiligaynon people from Iloilo City (note: and just as well as the Waray say "kana" to pertain to people who speak "bisaya" or "cebuano" language).
