These are conclusions derived from personal observations.

Kankanaey (https://www.ethnologue.com/language/kne) and Kankanay, Northern (https://www.ethnologue.com/language/kne) are dialects of the Kankanaey Langauge (also spelled as Kankana-ey).

The claim that Kankanaey (Central) and Kankanay (Northern) are separate languages is based on political opinions rather than a scholarly linguistic point of view. Both dialects share close relations and speakers of each variety will find the other intelligible.
