Karay-a peopleThe Karay-a are a Visayan ethnic group native to the islands of Panay and Palawan in the Philippines. They speak the Karay-a language (Kinaray-a). The ethnonym Karay-a was derived from the word iraya, which means "upstream". The term Hamtikanon, literally "of Antique", is incorrectly used as a synonym of Karay-a; however, it properly refers to registered residents of the province of Antique irrespective of ethnicity.
