omg thank you for clearing up the dialect/language thing. I'm so tired of Filipinos saying that Tagalog is a language while Ilocano, Bicol, Cebuano, etc etc etc are just "dialects" Lets please get rid of that thinking right now. Dialects are like Manila Tagalog vs Batangas Tagalog. Or British English vs American English
I feel you.
I don't even know how some think of them as 'dilects of tagalog'. I was born in The Ilocos region but was primarily taught Tagalog and English as my Primary Languages. I can understand a good amount of Ilocano but I can't form words in Ilocano- I just respond with tagalog. (Basically how many Filipino children born in the US can understand Tagalog but simply respond to English).
Tagalog is NOTHING like Ilocano. It's completely unintelligible.
Take the sentence: Kumakain ako ng Manok= Mangan ak ti Manok. They're the same sentence and there are similarities but are mostly different…
English trans: i ate Chicken
Think that was a bad Example so here's another one: Ang Pangit-Pangit naman ng susi na binili mo!= Nagalas met ti tilbek na ginatang mo!
English Trans: What an Ugly key you bought there!
See, It's so different and I think my Ilocano translation isn't even spot on since I know Ilocano more as ‘Ilocalog’ -Ilocano mixed with Tagalog…
can you translate this " mahal kita"
+Alvin Doromal I love you
it means " i love you" Do you not watch Michael V, Dingdong Dantes, Bea Alonzo, or Kim Chiu?!
Finally, someone got up and set the record straight. The Philippines (with THE) refers not only to the agglomeration of islands, but also of peoples, cultures and languages. They are languages because they are not mutually intelligible. Plus a whole slew of dialects. I firmly believe that schools should teach in their own local language, plus English. They can have Tagalog taught as a language subject or in the case of Tagalog speakers, they can learn another regional language of their choice). I also think they should also bring back Spanish (elementary, basic communication) in HS or higher ed to complete the picture. Easier for Pinoys to be functional in Spanish if taught right than Mandarin or Arabic.
I think arabic is included for filipino muslims. Do not forget the Muslim minority that makes this country diverse. One more thing are the filipino-chinese populations. There are many of them. Either mandarin or hokkien should be taught
Cause there are to many groups of people in the philippines and have all kinds of diferent languages so they invented filipino which is basically just a modernized tagalog with english and spanish influence on it.
Tanglish
But so does Cebuano. It's mixed in Spanish, English, Austronesian. That's a poor justification for making it our only national language.
@@aglayamajorem9546 It was because the Capital is Manila and Tagalog is the language spoken there. Also the President who proclaim it to be the medium of teaching was from the Capital Manila.
Although that time, there were more who spoke Cebuano (or some call it Bisaya) than Tagalog.
Now everyone can comprehend Tagalog like eating rice.
In my opinion, this "filipino" is nothing but a representative of tagalog imperialism which has been endangering other languages here....provinces like pangasinan and cagayan have decreasing number of pangasinan, ibanag, and itawes speakers, as well as others with critical status such as agta, aeta, sambal, etc.
Thank you for making this video. letting people realize how unique we Filipinos are
in Sarawak malay language we're called chicken "MANOK" same as Filipino..
bcz sarawak also has the bisaya language, accoding to what i have read...
Because the languages in the Philippines and the languages spoken in Indonesia and Malaysia are but under the same family tree.
Anak means child,right?
We call it sarimanok or SARAO sometimes.. u can see it on some old jeepney designs here
As an Aussie living in Mindanao, I'm proud to say that I can understand and speak and sing in Binisaya, and my wife, who is a Lumad Higaunon, is a fluent speaker of Binisaya, Tagalog, Boholano, Hiligaynon, and English, as well as her tribal language, Higaunon Binukid. People from Manila will not understand any of those except Tagalog and English. I've said many times that I believe each of these are separate languages even more distinct than say, Spanish and Portuguese.
Yes! Thank you for sharing 😊
@@KirbyAraullo garbo nako nga pwede ako isulti sa Binisaya!
Ilocano, tagalog, cebuano, visaya, chavacano are all languages... they are all different from each other. I am bothered by those who say they are dialects well in fact they all do not stem from each other. the dialects must be identified to those for example in tagalog,, tagalog has many dialects. it includes, batangas, marinduque, bulacan etc. .. same with ilocano. that is why identifying them as dialects are completely WRONG and UNJUST.
YES THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH!! Someone finally gets it!!! I really just hate it when people say cebuano, ilocano and all the other languages are "dialects". I'm pretty sure most who say this didnt pay attention in school or doesn't know the meaning of the word "dialect".
+Tom Yum You forgot about a Tagalog dialect. Another tagalog dialect is FILIPINO. The fact is Filipino is a true dialect while Tagalog is a language. that means Filipino is a dialect of Tagalog.
Visaya?
Cebuano and bisaya are one, chavacano=castillian+cebuano.
@@jeffenadupdesktop5974 No, Cebuano refers to the language spoken in the people of Cebu and some other provinces in Visayas and Mindanao and it could also mean the people living in Cebu.. Bisaya is a group of people in the Visayas region.
You are right, boy! Any Philippine language which are not tagalog are languages, not the mere "dialects". The true dialect is FILIPINO. Why Filipino? Because Filipino is a true dialect of Tagalog, alongside with Batangueno, Caviteno, Laguna, Rizal, quezon, Marinduque and Bulakenyo dialect.
Nopea...
Filipino is a language based on tagalog dialect
Yeah, Filipino can be classified as a dialect of Tagalog to some extent because it is heavily based from Tagalog but at the same time no because it is a constructed language and therefore did not originate from Tagalog unlike the various Tagalog dialects which developed from their common ancestor.
@I am Witch Yes, you are absolutely right. I have a dual view of this topic. I view it as another language because it was supposed to be a mix of many Philippine languages. It could've been very different from Tagalog. But unfortunately, it just borrowed basically all of its features from Tagalog. That's why I also view it as a Tagalog-based language. Far from being different from Tagalog. I hope as it evolves it will integrate more Philippine languages. But right now it is not. That's why I also understand why people use the terms 'Filipino' and 'Tagalog' interchangeably. However, I still know the difference between them and I plan to share this with anyone if necessary. But yes, Filipino is basically Tagalog.
@@rvat2003 what are the differences?
@@katawamagiliw4963 Of the two po? The entity "Tagalog" refers to various related dialects spoken within the Katagalugan. "Filipino" refers to the national language based from Tagalog. So by their existence itself, they're different. If you're looking for the practical differences, Tagalog doesn't use in its orthography, while Filipino does. There are a lot of foreign loanwords that are "native" to Filipino by definition (e.g. common Spanish loanwords). Also, Filipino uses some words derived from other local languages like "Katarungan".
Once again, according to ETHNOLOGUE:
The number of individual languages listed for the islands still named after King Philip II is 186. Of these, 182 are living and 4 are extinct. Of the living languages, 41 are institutional, 72 are developing, 46 are vigorous, 13 are in trouble, and 10 are dying."
www.ethnologue.com/country/PH
love this video. #5 in particular (to all those people who say I "don't look Filipino"). I agree, diversity is probably the number one thing I love about the Philippines and its culture. It's a shame not many people know this.
Sorsogon Province alone has so many dialect even when ur from the same city and only kilometers apart you will notice the change in dialect.(only some words, not all.
example:
Not-English
Hindi- Filipino
Lain-sorsogon city
Bako-Bacon(a district of Sorsogon City)
diri- Gubat sorsogon. and many more.
These places are only few kms apart. And that is in Sorsogon alone w/c is one of the provinces of Bicol Region that speaks the BIKOL language so imagine how the word Not can be said from the different parts of Bicol alone.
I don't know which part of Bicol (Coastal, Central, etc.) is Naga but in Naga "Not" is "Dae" or "Dai" (I don't know how they spell it but they pronounced it like "Dai", hahaha).
You can actually say that Sorsogon has 2 distinct language groups. That is because for example, the Bikol spoken in Sorsogon city is a dialect of Coastal Bikol which belongs to the Bicol macrolanguage family, while the languages spoken below like in Gubat are Central and South Sorsoganon which are actually languages that belong to the Bisayan language family, not the Bicol macrolanguage.
This guy nailed it. Anyone can be a Filipino. Negritos, Chinitos, Indigenous, Mestizos, Españoles, Americans, etc.... With that, each region also have their own linguistic rights in their own languages. Over 150+ languages are spoken in the Philippines.
do you mean an african can be filipino? lol
+Wu Je Ai hell fucking yes if they were born in the Philippines
Naturalized maybe.
Daghang Salamat kuya!
Finally! Hope this will clear up the misguided "hurdur, they are dialects hurdur" who glorify Tagalog-centered Imperial Manila hegemony in everything else. We are a multicultural, diverse country. We ain't all just Tagalog
BISAYA MI NGA DAKO!
Oo, Pinoy kami, pero Bisaya rin kami!
This is why we sympathize with the other ethno-linguistic groups, regions and localities simply neglected and forgotten by the folks up in NCR.
Wow! This is a nice piece! Finally somebody emphasizes it.
My own native island’s language itself is not yet recognize as distinct language different from Cebuano.
Which is the ‘Bantayanon’.
No documented proper dictionary is being printed yet, but we’ve been using the Bantayanon Language in our daily communication, a language that has been passed down from our grandfathers themselves.
The Bantayan Island, is a small island with it's own language, consisting of 3 municipalities, that have their own 3 distinct dialects as well.
Imagine that! 🤗
Thank you!
Really glad I've found your TH-cam page and the videos about the Philippines you post (and other stuff). Keep up the good work, sir!
You're exactly right Kirby! And you'd said that beautifully. You sounded good too.
Finally found an answer to why we even have a national language even though we Filipinos know that its actually just a mix of Tagalog and other languages here. 😆
Btw, here in Ifugao, we have more than 4 spoken dialect, depending on where you are. 😉.
I am a Bicolano and I speak Bicol dialect called Bicol-Legazpi-Tabaco-Sorsogon or (LTS).
Karl Ian Basallote. Saare ka sa Bicol
Karl Ian Basallote im bikolano man sa Albay..Ang lenguahe natin dyan..
50% Bikol..
40% Spanish..
First and foremost a definitely very well said point by this guy! So I'm a Filipino I can only speak 3 out of 187 languages. Which is Waray(Waray-Waray), Cebuano/Bisaya, and Filipino/Tagalog! I can understand a bit of Hiligaynon/Ilonggo, Boholano, and a few of Bicolano, Ilocano and Chavacano also. But as with other dialects! All I'm thinking is people are cursing me who knows or they sound like chirping birds to me! Haha Obviously i can speak English too! So I guess I'm kind of a multilingual person myself. The Philippines has many languages and is very much diverse and unique on its own rich heritage, norms, and culture! 😎👌
I used to speak 5 but because the other two aren't practiced at home and the environment I lived, I forgot them.
People in Bohol actually speaks Cebuano too.
I think Boholano is largely a dialect of Cebuano. Although who is to say that Cebu is the origin of that language. 🤔
You can’t change the fact that Filipino language is still, at its core, TAGALOG LANGUAGE. (Specifically, the form of dialects spoken in Metro Manila and the Southern Tagalog Region [Calabarzon and Mimaropa], Bicol Region and some parts of the Central Luzon Region) . ... Meaning these dialects came from one and of the same language which is TAGALOG and now became FILIPINO and through it’s long process of evolution, acquired words from the other 174 languages from Luzon, Vizayas and Mindanao that makes it represent the whole Philippines . In addition, some loan words from Spanish, English, Sanskrit and Chinese were added as well but if you compare Filipino and Tagalog, you will indeed find that the differences are very small. Oppps one more thing, TAGALOG is the language that makes the FILIPINO LANGUAGE seems like a dialect that is now an official language of the Philippines side by side with the other one OL, English. ❣️🇵🇭
Then maybe Tagalog shouldn't be the only thing Filipino should be wholly based off. Don't forget the syntax, grammar and vocabulary of Cebuano, Kapampangan and other regional languages too.
No it doesn't i certainly haven't heard a single damm word of my language in a Tagalog/Filipino sentence. It's embarrassing enough that you actually believe it Filipino has other languages words in it's vocabulary which in reality it doesn't. I can honestly tell you, you've honestly let your delusions fool you.
As much as I would like to speak the language, the reality of our daily routine changes how we talk, makasao ak bassit iti ilokano. Hindi ko lang nakasanayan makipagsalita ng ilokano noong ako ay bata. Gusto ko rin matutunan mag bisaya
Thank you for this informative video! Can you also do a video on why Filipinos do not speak Spanish anymore? I love how you explain these things in your videos. Thank you!
History
I wanna know what Ilocano sounds like. I took my ancestry test and I have a strong dna match with the Ilocos region. I am from Chuuk, Micronesia. My dna shows strongest in 17 regions of the Philippines (mostly in Ilocos), Samoa, Tonga, and “Broadly Melanesia”.
Very well said! clearly stated and clarified.
I speak Tagalog and English but I find other Filipino languages beautiful too especially Ilonggo (which sounds so sweet) and the broken Spanish of the Zamboangeños (broken but music to my ears.) :)
Ilonggo is a person. Hiligaynon is the language that Ilonggo speak. Get that right at least.
Tagalog is the national language in the Philippines, and English is the second language. Filipinos cannot speak pure, straight Filipino. No matter what dialect they speak, English is always intermixed in their speech. Besides Tagalog, English is also a way for the various dialect-speaking Filipinos to understand each other.
In 1987 which is NOW 30 LONG YEARS PASSED, the old 20-letter Tagalog abakada was amended by the Philippine Department of Education, Culture and Sports into a 28-letter alphabet to include all the missing C-F-J-Q-V-Z letters plus the Spanish Ñ into it, and in 2001, the Komisyon Sa Wikang Filipino changed its name appropriately into ALFABETO. Although the non-Tagalog Filipinos had their own regional alphabets, the new Alfabeto superseded all the alphabets of the various dialects in the Philippines. Actually the old non-Tagalog Filipinos’ alphabet were MORE REPLETE than the old 20-letter Tagalog abakada; and for those that had no set up alphabet, their dialects were proof enough to substantiate that they have more letters in their vernacular than the Tagalog abakada. That's why the non-Tagalog Filipinos wonder why Tagalogs use the "P" instead of the alphabet letter "F" when the names FILIPINO and PHILIPPINES are pronounced with an "F", while the non-Tagalogs (Visayans, Ilocano, Bicolano, Pampangos, Ibanag, et al) have always ENUNCIATED the "F" CORRECTLY & PROPERLY. And the non-Tagalogs are more puzzled now about the Tagalogs still using the "P" instead of the "F" in their verbal and written communications, even though the old Tagalog abakada is dead and gone, and has been superseded by the more complete ALFABETO.
Proof that the non-Tagalogs have more alphabet letters than the old Tagalog abakada are: for the Ibanag word for bathe is mazzigo, open is vuca, residence is padjanan, wipe is funat, tongue is zila, etc.; Ilocano words for offer is ofrecer, confess is confesar, rescue is salvar, shoo! is fuera! vomit is vacuar, stroll is pasiar, store is tienda, market is mercado, marriage is casar, etc.; Bicol words for outstanding is fuerte, easy is facil, hard is dificil, etc.; Cebuano words for family is familia, elephant is elefante, little quantity is jutay, good-looking is guapo/guapa, friend is amigo or amiga, etc.; Gaddang words for lips is bifig, company is kavulon, dance is bayle; white is furaw, etc. Because of the Filipinos' exposure to the Spanish language for more than three centuries, many Spanish words were integrated into the Filipino dialects like cuchara, tenedor, sapatos, pantalon, vestida, blusa, abanico, cutis, cortina, sala, cusina, ventana, puerta, merienda, mansanas, café, azucar, visita, misa, iglesia, escuela, clase, tipo, silla, lamesa, etc., etc.
Ahhhh. The great way of confusing my classmates. I can look at people like they're crazy and say "What's the Filipino language? I only understand Cebuano."
IDOL pa kiss?
Jericho Arceo 😚😘💕
I know Tagalog is mix Malayo Polynesian, Spanish, English, Japanese, Chinese, Aztec, Indian and Arabic words influence. While others are some mix with Spanish and Chinese.
Joseph Pierce you are referring to FILIPINO LANGUAGE
So is Cebuano. What is your point?
You have very good linguistic background. Yes, Tagalog and P/Filipino are basically the same. Carry on.
Salamat 💖
Absolutely correct💯% Tagalog and Filipino are "Synonymous" 👉 ( The Same Thing ) 👈 Don't be fooled by Imperialist Manila people.
well explained...!!!nice
Great video, bro! Salamat for teaching about pinoy culture! - Blaise, Toronto 🇵🇭🇨🇦👏
Trivia: Philippines has a total of 175 languages while 4 out of 175 languages has died. With a remaining 171 languages. I learn that in our history subject SIBIKA in the Philippines this Grade 6
cebuano here
yes indonesia has many languages as well like philippines, and despite of they have many languages, they use bahasa indonesia which is the language use in jakarta. our case is not as special as in other country.
A filipino langauge should be a language understandable by filipinos, not the tagalog dialect that was self emposed on our books, in media etc. Words like LAHAR, KUDETA, OKAY, AYOS, HINAY-HINAY, SIGE (even PSSST!) can now be considered as Filipino words nowadays because every inch of a filipino understands them. I was a tire saleman and roamed almost all the islands (except balot & batanes is.) looking for tire dealers. The best way to close a deal is to converse with them in their own native tongue. Twas hard but I did my very best. Every word I spoke I see to it that i include some native words in our conversations. This was my routine every month and I'm so happy that even though i can't speak their language fluently, i can understand them wisely. What I'm trying to point out is, if you're in manila or in any tagalog region, speak tagalog. and we hope the tagalogs will do same. Just two or three natives words will do. Salamuch!
Very well said!
Salamat!
well said...
HEY!! im a Filipino! thumbs up if ur a Filipino!
hello! ako ay isang Filipino! i-like nyo naman to kapag Filipino ka!
I believe that once upon a time we have one Sri Vijayan language but it evolved in different dialects as we scattered around the different settlements and islands...
Thank goodness I've found your YT channel!✨
i agree Kapampangan, Cebuano, etc. are distinct languages, not dialects, that should be documented and promoted. but why then refer to Tagalog as only a "dialect" and therefore, not a philippine language? and yes, there is a designated national philippine language. and you can argue that it's really Tagalog. but that's true for China or India or most countries which are multicultural and multilingual. and in every society there is usually one subgroup that is represented more, whether fair or not. just ask the southerners in the US how they feel about mainstream US culture portrayed in the media. but we are one nation, one people; and we refer to ourselves and our culture/language as filipino or philippine. don't confuse identity with lack of diversity. it's time we see ourselves as one nation, and not always these separate regions with grievances to settle.
Tagalog is no more viewed by non Tagalog speakers than it is viewing English or Spanish. If that were the case then I might as well learn Bahasa Indonesia since it shares a lot of vocabulary to Philippines. Which is why I'm thoroughly against Tagalog national because it means we're made to learn it while you people up native speakers don't get to learn our languages down south.
YOU JUST GOT A NEW SUBBIE!!! THIS VIDEO IS VERY INFORMATIVE, I LOVE YOUR VOICE. HOW OLD ARE YOU? NICE FACTS!! YOU GOT TON OF THEM!! *APPLAUSE*
Very True. In fact, I learned Pilipino only in school and the medium of instruction in teaching Pilipino is English. So that’s right my Filipino is just a tad better than my Spanish. We should install English and Spanish as national languages instead of Tagalog because Tagalog is just a language spoken in the Tagalog region. I went to the highlands of Luzon and some tribes actually prefer to speak English than Tagalog and so does many islands in the south.
Los Peregrinos : So that we can become a country whose pride comes from being colonized because both our national languages came from our colonizers. No national pride at all? English is an international language; even the countries who were never colonized by the England and USA use English to communicate to the rest of the world.i.e., it’s a necessity right now with regards to global economy.
As a Tagalog speaker from Metro Manila, I will only recognize my language as "Tagalog" and not "Filipino" due to the fact that there are other languages in this country and not just Tagalog.
For those who will bash me for this, go for it. You have to remember that the other languages in the Philippines is slowly dying due to the imposition of this "Filipino" language masquerading as Tagalog.
While I accept Filipino is really has Tagalog as its main base, I think the vocabulary should be open from other local languages, stuff that we don't have in the region -- it seems it isn't priority as we have other issues, but I think we should encourage to allow more Visayan and Mindanao based words rather than "Filipinize" loan words outside the country.
Dying language? No, it is a threat but not a killer language. Kapampangan, cebuano, chavacano, ilokano, pangsinense, waray and other 187+ philippine languages still exist until now.
Bilang native cebuano speaker, ang mismong speakers nieto ang banta sa sariling lenggwahe. Saksi ako sa mga kabataan ngayon na pinapalitan nila ang native bisaya words ng tagalog at english. At nakakadiri pakinggan lalo pag english ihahalo sa bisaya. Hindi ko lang nakukuha ang logic ng iba kung bakit papalitan o maghihiram ng salita kung mayroon namang existing sa native language at di ko rin makuha ang logic ng millenials na mga nanay kung bakit nila tinuturuan ang kanilang mga maliliit na anak ng ingles sa murang edad keysa native language. Siguro praktikalan pero mali talaga eh.
@@Magmeow05 There are 130 different Proto-Austronesian Ethnic groups in the very diversed 7,000 plus archipelago. Four native indigenous languages are now classified Extinct. 1. Dicamay Agta. 2.

I'm not bashing but you are absolutely correct💯% Tagalog and Filipino are "Synonymous" 👉 ( The Same Thing ) 👈
And here I thought the other languages existing in Philippines were just dialects >.
to make things more interesting: what if magspluk akey ng ganitey, ganern, ganoyn mga vaks eskemberloo pa rin va? jus playin :p i love the Filipino language. its so fluid and actively evolving
philippine language is not invented its part of the Austronesian language family with more than a hundred dialect spoken in the philippines.
True
Tama! Ewan ko ba bakit niya nasabi yun.
+Rey Dee he's trying to promote the other regional languages (a good thing) but he does so by putting down another philippine language and essentially dismisses the idea of a national language (terrible idea). because we need a national identity by which all other people would recognize us.also he plays into the regional divide that has plagued our nation and history. kaya yung iba diyan sa pilipinas, mas gusto pa mag-inggles kaysa pilipino.
+Rey Dee he means that there's no single "philippine language" since the philippines has 175+ different languages, unlike, for example, germany where there's only the german language or england which has only the english language.
+tama rin "there is NO SUCH THING as the philippine language" and "there's NO SINGLE philippine language" are two different things. i agree with the second, the first is categorically wrong. and what he is trying to imply is calling Filipino or Tagalog as the philippine language is not legitimate, which is also wrong because it IS the designated official philippine language and it is an indigenous language in the philippines (as Rey Dee stated).
Dude I have a learned a lot from your videos about Filipino languages and culture. Some people are in the habit of grouping complex cultures and history into one package because they lack the ability to understand.
If we are to be honest, the language of the Philippines is English. It is by far the most dominant, most widely used language. We have to consider usage also in terms of reading, listening, watching video media, as well as writing, informal conversing, and formal speaking.
It is the preferred language in academia, business, official government work. More English media is consumed than any other.
Although Tagalog pop media is produced, distributed, and consumed at a large scale. Tagalog is not used heavily in all of the Philippines for academics, work, and official documentation.
Outside the Tagalog regions, Tagalog is not spoken or used daily. In contrast, most Filipinos use English on a daily basis either at home, school, or work along with their respective home language.
You have a good point there, but honestly most of us would just think of the English language as a second or third language, and often not just a Business language, only used in certain occasions only.
yeah thats true tagalog is just an invented language because that time, Philippines has no official language so manuel l Quezon came to make an official language thats why manuel quezon is the father of the Philippine national language(ama ng wikang pambansa)
It's still invented Tagalog. Not representative of the rest of the country's many languages.
Tagalog is not invented, filipino is the invented one. Fyi, filipino and tagalog is different.
you have to research and used now...we have ancient Philippine script called BAYBAYIN...before western colonization. Filipinos already very literate.
agree
Sorry to burst you but baybayin is just for the tagalog language. Language like kapampangan, hanuno'o, and mindanaon languages has their own writing system.
@@Magmeow05
All of that are classified as the Surat writing system
Sometimes Tagalog language sounds like Indonesian/Malaysian language
tagalog has many loan words from its malay neighbors. we also have old sanskrit words that is why sometimes you hear us speak like indo or malays. in my native language iloko or ilokano we have many words borrowed from indonesians
+Wu Je Ai thats so interesting. i would like to learn filipino further. I think actually malay and filipino are cognate.
+T Zaifunnas we have a same race Malay
Wu Je Ai Hmm thats same as tatay digong said last night in jakarta. Filipino and Indonesian are Malay race.
Wu Je Ai it's not loan words, the Philippine languages and languages in Indonesia and Malaysia belong in the same language family, they diverged from the same ancestral language.
THANK YOU FOR SAYING NUMBER 1!!
lol... The 'filipino language" is tagalog language... Politicians way back just claimed that "filipino language" also include other languages in the Philippines as not to upset other ethnic groups.
The Philippines should just have SPanish as national language because lets face it. If not for Spain, tagalogs, bisayas, pangasinense, bicolanos etc would not be under ONE POLITICAL UNIT (country).
This Philippine language "filipino" you are referring is as alien to me as english. My mother tongue is Bisaya so how do you expect me and my fellow Bisaya to consider this "filipino" language as our own? It was just forced to us by past leaders from Imperial Manila. I would rather have SPanish as national language because its Spain who established Philippines as a political unit and not the tagalogs.
Love this comment. HAHA!
Correct!
@Matthew Tenorio_3200654 and so what if we end up like Hispano America? After all, we are heavily influenced by Hispanic culture and tradition!
@Matthew Tenorio_3200654 We’re not Latinos and we never were. The Spaniards went to Latin America but few were in the Philippines.
@@archangellagi5768 not a lot of Americans and British came to the Philippines. And here we are speaking English. We are Anglophones despite not having significant British nor American ancestry.
Latino transcends race. It’s a cultural definition. Full blooded Indios as well as full blooded European immigrants are Latinos.
my mom from maranao...my dad from malaysia
OK so first of all I'm filipino ... bicolano(bikolano) ako.. bicolano or ilokano are just dialects.. Tagalog is just what we use because we don't understand each other its like a other option to use when we do not know what to do but it got proclaimed as a national language .. so yeah hope it helps
But you can speak English in which all Filipinos can in basic understand.
They're not dialects. They're languages. Syntax is different.
You may want to look up what a dialect's definition is before saying they are dialects.
Languages vs. dialects can get very complicated. Scots being an example of either a dialect of English or a separate, but very closely related language. The same exists among Filipino languages, especially the Visayan ones, which is why we don't have an exact count of languages, e.g. is Boholano its own language or a dialect of Cebuano? Davao has its own variants of both Cebuano and Chavacano, and sometimes the vocabulary between the two (and Tagalog and sometimes even English) cross over. In any case, calling all but one of them dialects is going WAY too far. And naming a dialect of Tagalog as "Filipino" was just a bad idea and confused things further.
That's why they are called Visayan and not Cebuano.
At #6 you didn't know about "The Philippines" is the definite article "THE" always and properly precedes Philippines, one of only 2 countries on earth. It's not The China, not The Japan, not The USA, and not The Russia. What country is it?
Also, capital "T" when using The Philippines and small "t" the Philippine ... when writing without the "s".
it depends on the sentence. The Philippine Eagle is an example. There isnt any definite rule regarding this one except what you said during the firt part of your statement
I've always addresses Philippines as The Philippines because it is far more beautiful to hear with a determiner. Never heard of any rule about it though, glad to have gained this knowledge whether legitimate or not.
It was a “rule” when taught to us in FEU by a couple of professors with doctorate in English Lit., one of them was supposedly a nephew of Dr. Jose Rizal (just to add an interesting anecdote). I guess today it’s just a guide for proper usage, not a strict rule.
“The Philippines” is a proper noun/name - “The” becomes capitalized as all first letters of proper nouns and to denote the singularity of the multiple islands of The Philippines because a country is singular. The national bird of The Philippines is the Philippine Eagle. Philippine Eagle is a proper noun. Previous names for The Philippines were; Republic of the Philippines (compound noun, no need to capitalize “T”), Philippine Islands, Las Islas Filipinas (capital L). This is what little I remembered in college and stuck with me, but all is welcome with their own rule however you want to use it. I just want to impart regality to our country’s name it so deserve. Maybe PDU30 can proclaim Maharlika as the official country's name so we don't have this issue. After all, a country should be named by it's own people. Amen.
Oh, I still prefer The Philippines rather than Maharlika.
mabuhay I'm Tagalog mestizo cagayan valley I would love to speak old Tagalog what Tagalog dialect would be similar to the language po
Pangasinan dialect partially trace s it's roots in Indonesia.
Yeah,Because you're indonesian descent the root of Mother tough
agreed! we are diverse. :)
I was traveling in Baguio and try to learn Tagalog but in the end I only learn kalamansi 🤪 miss that drink🥺
I keep seeing Manila tagalog vs batangas tagalog. I thought it was Bulacan where original tagalog came from and not an "invented" language. Please correct me if im wrong.
I think by saying "invented" he meant standardized with the inclusion of Spanish loan words.
Nationalistic narratives at least should be reasonable and are not based on feed lies. We should recognize the diversity of our country and learn to love why, how, and what it had become. I hate that what we have learned from schools is not just misleading but deceitful.
I Like your channel.. very informative., some Filipinos don't even know much about our culture.. anyway., you look familiar., are you the kid from the movie of dolphy and babalu where they go in the us, hehehe just got curious., 😃
Educate yourselves my friends, what the author has failed to tell you is that these languages have a common origin, and that is the Austronesian and Polynesian languages. Which has been around for thousands of years. Since the first migration from the south yellow basin in mainland China, and travelled through Taiwan to populate the south East Asian islands. But the original inhabitants of these islands were the Melanesians, otherwise known in the Philippines as Aeta's..
I don't think he's missed anything. I don't think YOU understood his point. There are narrow minded Filipinos who think Tagalog is language and the rest are not. That's what he was arguing against.
He didn't fail to tell you, he only tackled what was needed to be mentioned in the video regarding the whole 'Philippine Language'.
That could be tackled in a next video.
No no no FILIPINO IS MAINLY TAGALOG it never represent the philippines as a whole. It always been unfair why? We sing a tagalog anthem, pledge in tagalog flag,
It's funny cause the original anthem was actually in Spanish not Tagalog. Thanks Quezon, you typical conyo ignoramus.
So you don't want us to speak a common languages?
No, Tagalog is different from Filipino.... You do not say "silya" in tagalog, the proper tagalog term for that is "salumpuwet" or "eroplano" for the proper tagalog word for that is "salipawpaw". So the difference is Filipino language is an amalgam of many cultural influences which is the prevalent language being used by many Filipinos today especially in Metro Manila. and sad to say the authentic Tagalog speakers are slowly decreasing since there are modern terminologies that we now use and has no direct Tagalog translations.
@@rabinvargas8762 so what do you call a cebuano language that uses loanwords and made it their own? Languages evolve and it can borrow words from other languages.
@@jchavez1431 exactly the point, as you said languages evolve... Filipino is a different language from Tagalog! and since we're talking about language stop writing in English if you can't do it properly.
Some foolish people a few years ago was trying to implement a movement to eradicate the Ilocano language. I believe these individuals were employed by the board of education if I'm not mistaken. There was a forum on line gathering signatures to stop this nonsense. I just hope the Ilocano speaking people retorted firmly sending a strong message, so this type of thing won't be given a second chance.
Patayin nyo ang ganyang mga tao kase banta yan sa identity nyo. Baket ba nila i.eradicate?
People here are trying to learn Tagalog... which can be used in any part of the Philippines. Don't confuse them implying they will need 100 dialects to travel the country. As u know everyone at least understand Tagalog and English.
Nick but tagalog is not uselful in visayan and mindanao, try tagalog there and they will not reply in tagalog. Tagalog is not useful outside luzon.
not so Nikos... tagalog is the country's official language. It is what philipino is based on. I know there are many dialectsin the middle and south of the country. But everyone understands and speaks at least a little tagalog. And more so than english, which is of course the 2nd official language.
Nick a lot understands, yes, but majority is not willing. Lets face that reality, I myself from the south ( I don't know are you too?) And not really "all" can speak. For example, the elderly population in the south has the lower fluency in tagalog, some older generations can't even understand a little. Have you lived in the south bro?
Nick Si Senior! Senior because there is no enye on the keyboard. Entiendes? Soy Chavacano tambien.
It so sad many people saying that the national language in Ph is tagalog instead of Filipino.
They said Filipino only refers to people .
How about in Italy they are italian and the language also called italian, Portugues, English, Indonesian, Japanese. Etc.
damn Kirby you been enlightening the KAYUMANGGI since way back!! I've only watched this now!!!! #risekayumanggirise
Well said..your the best kirb..
I'm Filipino, pure tagalog+Kapampangan and I have no reason why I'm watching this video.
My 7th grader made a friend in school who comes from the Philippines and does not speak English. He wants to know what language his new friend speaks, so that led me here. I see now it's not that simple... The kid knows very limited English so he doesn't understand when someone asks what language he speaks. The teachers don't even know... they ask him if it's Spanish and he says yes... but he doesn't understand the question.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to find out the language? Is there one language that is most common in the Philippines?
First language Filipino or Tagalog then English and other dialects. The Philippines has three parts Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Most people from Luzon has Tagalog as their first but for me, as I am from Visayas, specifically Cebu, my first spoken language is Cebuano. Then Tagalog/Filipino then English :)). There are many dialects though. So, Tagalog/Filipino is mostly the one spoken by the Filipinos.
In finding out the language the kid speaks: Try letting him write a paragraph or even a phrase then go to a translator like google translate, detect language then type what the kid has written. Just a suggestion :).
Ahh basta inaaral ko ang tagalog para makalandi sa ibat ibang isla.
dude I love you and how un-nationalist you are. It's accurate and concise. love you love you love you you are an inspiration for how we should educate our families and children.
REPEAL NATIONAL LANGUAGE LAW.
Save our languages & multicultural identity through federalism. Develop our languages through music and literature.
1987 Constitution
The current working definition of the Philippines’ national language is found in Sections 6 and 7 of Article XIV of the 1987 Constitution, which was created following the ouster of Marcos.
Section 6 states: “The national language of the Philippines is Filipino. As it evolves, it shall be further developed and enriched on the basis of existing Philippine and other languages.”
Section 7, says: “For purposes of communication and instruction, the official languages of the Philippines are Filipino and, until otherwise provided by law, English.”
The 1987 Constitution’s definition of the national language takes the notion of Filipino from the 1973 Constitution even further - by explicitly recognizing that the national language is subject to change through influence from local and foreign languages over time.
The definition also gives due consideration to the role of the other Philippine languages in shaping the national language. It also replaced “Pilipino” with “Filipino” as an official language.
In addition, Section 9 orders the establishment of a national language commission, which will enhance the language-formation role of regional languages through the representation of various regions and disciplines in the body. The task of this commission is to undertake, promote, and coordinate researches for the development, propagation, and preservation of Filipino and other languages.
I don't think the tagalogs or the big leagues running the government want other languages to dominate the Philippines other than theirs
Ok, TAGALOG is a dialect, and FILIPINO is a language which is mostly based from Tagalog.
Tagalog comes first before Filipino. Tagalog is the true language. Filipino is an invented language, sabi nga nila diallect lang ito ng Tagalog.
I was hit by this. Like "Ouch!" I don't know this.
Finally!!!! Someone fucking said it! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks!
here's a trivia: WHAT IS THE ROOT WORD OF "KATARUNGAN"? if you can answer that then you'll know where the tagalog language came from. hint: ako - akon - akin. search well.
Mind = blown
read UP Diksyonaryong Filipino to know that Filipino language is not solely Tagalog based. Liso for seed, Binalaybay for poem, and more words where you can find that all Regional languages are represented in Filipino.
please stop the "regionalistic mindset"
+miko balisi then how come if I speak "Filipino" its quite similar to "Tagalog". If English in America uses foreign words does it automatically become not English?
Dummy, do you not learn about language of Tagalog? Its syntax is vastly different to Cebuano! It's no different than learning Bahasa Indonesia to me!
@@thekuan7002
You just kind of repeated his point lmao
Yes, English is like Filipino. It borrows, but what makes it different from Filipino is how English actually expands its borrowings from Germanic languages up to Austronesian and Japonic languages. I don't know about Filipino though, it's too much on the Tagalog side, none for the other languages
I know this: "COLGATE" means toothpaste. Hahaha I could not understand either parent in their native dialects,my nanny spoke Spanish,castilla. Love to all Pinoys and Pinays, pinili na,pinino pa.
The Europeans power regard Luzon and Mindanao as the richest part of the Malay'world at that time that extent from Sumatra to Maluku Island or they call it the "Spice"islands"....according to English, Spanish, Portuguese and even Dutch , the Malay was the Lingua franca at this region around that era and "Tagalog" rooted from this old Malay language....of course mixed with many other native languages and dialects and later influenced by Spanish and English.....
Of course. Of course.
0:06 broooo it's a hindi word for m india and the defination is same too

My girlfriend speaks Tagalog, ilokano, and English of course
UNDER 2 MINS ANDAMI NANG FACTS NA NAG-ABSORBED. NICE ONE HEHEHEHE
Hi, I am curious. How did Tagalog becomes the national language of our country? Thank you po sa pag sagot.
I think the President from 1930 announced it
Because Manila is the Capital City of the Phils and the NCR ( National Center Region ) of the Phils. and the seat of government is in Manila and the native tagalog speaker President Manuel L Quezon lobbied to make tagalog as the basis of the national language back in 1937 and then Imperial Manila later changed tagalog to ( F )ilipino back in 1987 to make it "Palatable" for the non-tagalog Ethnic groups.
@@lapulapupintado2892 and I think they also chose tagalog because of works that was written in tagalog survived in the Philippines which has little to no purpose because majority don't even bother reading them
The language is basically just a trophy
Ang pinakadahilan po kung bakit Tagalog kasi, tagalog po ang mga ginagamit ng mga rebulosyonaryo noon na nakikipaglaban sa mga mananakop.
Isa na doon si dating Pangulong Manuel Quezon na isang sundalo noong Filipino - American war at may rank na Commander-in-Chief Major.
At ito ay pangunahing ginagamit ng mga tiga-maynila (Metro Manila) at mga karatig-bayan, na kung saan ay ang Metro Manila at mga karatig nitong bayan ay ang Sentro ng ekonomiya, kultura at pulitika ng Bansa.
I'm an Filipino and your intelegent so you have an sub
ummm.hate to break to you but there is such a thing as the pilipino language and it is taught at school which is why i know what the pilipino language is and if i recall correctly it was announced by the late former president manuel quezon that the language is filipino and it includes all dialects spoken in the country including english and also btw.pilipino is what they call us that are residents of the philippines.
+David Hans Lomarda There is no Pilipino language. When they conducted the survey for what "Dialect/Language" was widely used they did not recognize the different Visayan languages as Visayan because they were not mutually intelligible with one another. But the other Luzon languages even though they were also unintelligible with one another was all round up and categorized as "Tagalog". So they decided that they base the new "Pilipino" language and so that they would not insult other dialects they would sprinkle a few words into the language. Example of this would be Tagalog: Pumasok ako sa silid aralan at nag basa nang aklat, now in "Pilipino": Pumasok ako sa classroom at nag basa nang libro. They just replaced tagalog words with Englihs and Spanish words and then made it Filipino. So if I speak English and use the and Indian term like Lasi or Dahi Chole does that make me a speaker of a new language?
+Carlo Enad probably not it's just like the same with taglish that is not considered as a language
So why are they forcing "Filipino" which is clearly Tagalog.
Visayan language, is the most spoken language in th ph hmmm
huckleberryfinn01 Cebuano is the most spoken language but some linguists say that Cebuano, Waray, Hiligaynon, and other Visayan languages are part of a macrolanguage or a bigger language which is why all of these are called 'Bisaya' by their native speakers.
