Itawis (also Itawit or Tawit as the endonym) is a Northern Philippine language spoken by the Itawis people and is closely related to the Ibanag and Ilocano. Malaweg may be a dialect. Unlike the rest of Philippine languages, Itawit and its relatives use the consonants /z/, /f/, /v/, and /dʒ/ (spelled ). For example, fefeg (fan), madyan (maid), kazzing (goat), and bavi (pig).
