Karao (also spelled Karaw) is a language of northern Luzon, Philippines. It is spoken in the Karao, Ekip, and Bokod areas of western Benguet Province, and in the southwestern corner of Ifugao Province. The language is named after the barangay of Karaw in Bokod municipality, Benguet. The Karao ethnic group in Benguet still exists to this day, but the Karao traditions are gradually fading away into their memories.[2]
