The people of Barlig are predominantly of Igorot and Ilocano descent. Locals call themselves Ifiallig which is a reference to someone born or having roots from villages. In the cluster of villages in Lias, people call themselves I-lias while those from Kadaclan villages call themselves Ekachakran. Despite living in a single town, the people speak different languages and probably traditions.[5]
The town of Barlig is home to two indigenous languages, the Finalig language and the Balangaw language. Both languages are on the brink of extinction, making them important languages in the field of language conservation. The two languages are also important for the survival of the Finalig culture and the Balangaw culture, respectively.
