The Gaddang are an indigenous Filipino people; a linguistically identified ethnic group sharing centuries of residence in the watershed of the Cagayan River in Northern Luzon, Philippines. Gaddang speakers were recently reported to number as many as 30,000.[1] This may include another 6,000 related Ga'dang speakers and other isolated linguistic-groups whose vocabulary is more than 75% identical.[2] As a group, they comprise less than one-twentieth of one percent of the population of the Philippines.

The various members of several proximate groups speaking mutually-intelligible dialects (which usually include Gaddang, Ga'dang, Cauayeno, and Yogad - as well as lost historically documented tongues) are now regularly depicted as a single people in government documents, histories, and cultural literature. Distinctions may be asserted between (a) the Christianized "lowlanders" and (b) the formerly non-Christian residents in the mountains; these get ignored or glossed-over by some sources, and exaggerated by others. The identity is solely their language; the Gaddang have historically incorporated individuals from many surrounding but linguistically-different people.
