This video about the similarities and differences between the Indonesian language and Tagalog (and since Malay and Indonesian are so closely related, it's also a comparison of Malay and Tagalog).
Indonesian and Tagalog are definitely not mutually intelligible. Their speakers can't understand each other without studying the other language. But they are both members of the Malayo-Polynesian branch of the Austronesian language family, meaning that they developed from the same language (a very long time ago). Some of their similarities stem from their common ancient origins, and other similarities stem from Malay influence on Tagalog in more recent centuries.
There are numerous similar words between the two languages, but not the majority of words. They have a lot of grammatical differences, with Indonesian being primarily SVO, and Tagalog being primarily VSO. Tagalog also has focus markers, that show us which word is the focus of the sentence (either subject or object). There is no equivalent of this in Indonesian (for the most part).
It's worth noting that both Indonesia and Philippines have many languages, and they have languages that are more similar than Indonesian and Tagalog. But that's a topic for another video. :)
Special thanks to Yogga Ferditya for his Indonesian samples, and Jose Urrutia for his Tagalog samples!

I just notice that the indonesian language is much closer in capampangan dialect in the Philippines. They often use "u" than "o" like batu and lacks of "h" like angin.. And some accurate word like "api" "babi" "buaya" "bulan" "minum"
"Babababa?" -going down?
A Visayan dialect of the Philippines is much more related to Indonesian in terms of words and sentence construction.
Malays come from Indonesia, Malay in Malaysia are only immigrants from Indonesia, the native people of Malaysia are not Malay, the history they wrote was to rule the country and named the country Malaysia, Malay in Malaysia is similar to regional languages in Indonesia, Indonesian has roots in Malay , but it has come a long way, we call it Indonesian not of Malay to respect all ethnic groups in Indonesia.
Brunei: Selamat Pagi (Good Morning)
Indonesia: Selamat Pagi (Good Morning)
Malaysia: Selamat Pagi (Good Morning)
Singapore: Selamat Pagi (Good Morning)
Filipino: Salamat Pagi (Thank you Stingray)
LoL
Singapura " Selamat Pagi " too!!!!
*HAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHA*
@@aeiouhenz5284 why
@@greenbeans6428 nothing buddy 😅
"mahal kita"
filipino : "i love you"
indonesian : "we're expensive"
We sometimes us Sinta which is Cinta in Indonesia...But in formal cases☺
"Mahal kita" has two different meanings depending on pronunciation in Tagalog. It means either " LOVE YOU/I LOVE YOU" or "EXPENSIVE INCOME". It's because KITA means either "INCOME/EARNING" or a variation of "You"(other variations is IKAW, SAYO depending on what the sentence portrays), or "SEE"(with your eyes). And MAHAL means either EXPENSIVE/HIGH VALUE or LOVE/LIKE/DESIRE(this variation pertains to a verb. The noun for love in tagalog is PAGIBIG)
Lol, but it's kinda weird to say
@@bongbongferrer9941 sinta is old tagalog word for love
In the FIlipino Language called Hiligaynon, Mahal Kita also means we're expensive. Ahahahah
I remember when one Filipina friend of mine visited Jakarta and we ate at the restaurant. We talked for a while and told her though our languages are different, many Indonesian and Filipino words are the same. It was then a waiter brought us the food, she said, "Salamat!" The waiter stood for a while in confusion but then nodded and went away. I told her that "salamat (selamat)" means "congratulations" in Indonesian and not thank you as in Filipino, which obviously confused the waiter. She laughed.
Cool
lol :D this made my day
Mate I love these languages at least for me a portuguese speaker they sound so cool and besides that they are really easy to pronounce if compared to english 🙃 sometimes I just like to read it without understanding 😂
I once also had same experience with the word "salamat"....
Salamat in means thank you b!*tc
As a filipino, I gotta say that indonesian sounds like some local dialect here in the Philippines.. I once visited indonesia and it feels just like visiting another region..
Hahaha it's the same, I have family that live in Davao. Everytime I went to Philippines it's like I went to other island but still in Indonesia
I worked in Indo for 4.5 years and learned conversational Indo in 2-3months, thinking "it's just another dialect" 😆
Do you understand Bicol? If not, then it is not a dialect to you unless you are Bikolano; it is another language and it is.
Damnn, currently trying to learn Tagalog as an Indonesian and I don't know how easy this will be
@@eddiealferez6312 Luh.. Pano mo nalaman na bicolano ako?? Hahaha
Foreigner: I think Filipino is easy

yeah Tagalog really likes to shake things up
@@soonidoongidorislitterbox3962 tanga🤣🤣😡🤣🤣🤣
better in english because im cebuano davaoeno.
Same, because most of my childhood is just me watching TH-cam so I'm more exposed to English
Can you understand eachother ?
ID and PH : yesn't
Nope
ID AND PH: Nyes
Hahaha because our history here which taught in elementary schools is only focus in malay the "kalakalan" then "migrated" here and some history tv show here long ago showed about the history and connection of malay to us and just like how Austronesians scattered around the SEA using "balangay" so most of us were not aware that we have similar words with indonesia, brunei, Singapore and some part of Thailand...
But we run the same blood, malay
Somehow
as a native filipino speaker, it surprises me how complicated it must be to learn our language. it's made me appreciate it more.
Yup it's easy for us Tagalog speakers because it just came to us naturally. We learnt it mostly through conversations and maybe by watching television and listening to radio. However if a foreigner were to learn Tagalog i think they will have a hard time lol
Absoloutely. Had Filipino father and British mother in Philippines and we spoke English at home. I had to do remedial Tagalog. Pasang awa lol
Thats why I advised not to learn a language logically, especially when a language doesnt strictly follows its rules, because youre going to have a hard time. Just learn it by immersing yourself through that language, via osmosis.
Luckily Brian here breaks down the basics on how this word order for focus works th-cam.com/video/HOk--b_zSvE/w-d-xo.html
Tagalog or Filipino grammar is quite similar to English grammar.
In my opinion as a Filipino speaker, most of the time we take our fluency for granted because we are exposed to the language at an early age. But if we look closely on various elements of the Filipino/Tagalog grammar, there are a lot of things going on in order to form a sentence, conjugation being the most complicated. As an example, just to break down the aspects alone:
Perfective/Progressive/Contemplative/Infinitive
In actor focus, indicative mood:
"um" affix (bumasa, bumabasa, babasa, bumasa)
"nag/mag" affix (nagbasa, nagbabasa, magbabasa, magbasa)
In patient focus, indicative mood
"in" affix (binasa, binabasa, babasahin, basahin)
In potential mood ("can do")
"naka/nakapag" affix (nakabasa/nakapagbasa, nakakabasa/nakapagbabasa, makakabasa/makapagbabasa, makabasa/makapagbasa)
And there's a lot more...
TLDR Tip: Easy conjugation rule to use is "na/nag" for perfective, "na/nag" + repeat the sound of the first syllable for progressive, and "ma/mag" for contemplative. Good news, this rule also applies during code switching (e.g. nag-bike (bicycle), nagba-bike, magba-bike)
In short, agglutinative austronesian langs are difficult to understand at first
Thats more like integration of foreign vocabulary rather than code switching
that's not code-switching that's hybridizing, and definitely not a good news!
You broke down two different languages, while doing so in a third language. That's impressive on it's own.
The other Indonesian word sounds waray... (A visayan language in the Philippines )😅
that's what he does all the time though
The indonesian language was very similar with Kampampangan. Almost all of the example here are the same intetms of Spelling ang pronounciation.
Malay from malaysia not indonesia.
@@amirulhafiz3911 yes but we're majapahits, and also brothers.
As an Indonesian speaker, every time I watch a Filipino movie/drama; I'll always be like : *"I don't know why but this language sounds really familiar yet distinct at the same time."* And every time I hear a Filipino word which sounds the same to the Indonesian one I'll be like *"HEY! HEY! I KNOW THAT WORD!"* 😂😂
Kumusta for my Filipino brothers and sisters, from Indonesia! :)
Telenovela?
That's really cool, KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!🙂
Saya sokong, bang.
For me taglog like spanish people trying speak malay
I have thought that Tagalog was one of the regional languages of Indonesia
As a Filipino,i love indonesia they are kind sweet generous i love u indonesia love from Philippines 🇵🇭❤🇲🇨
thankyouuu, we love you too brother 😁✌️🤍🇵🇭🇲🇨
@@zizioezio699 🇵🇭❤🇲🇨😊😊😊😊
I think Tagalog language is the preserved grammar that reflects the mother language Austronesian.
Yeah and taiwan is the motherland
@@ragingkooky1039 Austronesians ain't of mongoloid race so don't worry.
@@ragingkooky1039yes Indonesia and malaysian use SOV structure but Filipino preserve the VSO structure. Most of indigenous people in Taiwan has the same structure with filipino it’s either VSO or VOS, they also use a lot of ma- as prefixes just like in tagalog.
Filipina mendapatkan bahasa itu dari kerajaan majapahit yang berasal dari indonesia yang pernah menaklukan sebagian dari negara filipina
salah, bahasa kami di sini di filipina lebih tua dari bahasa Anda di indonesia karena orang-orang kuno pertama kali menetap di sini dan menyebar ke luzon dan visaya mindanao dan sabah dan sulawesi
As a Filipino speaker, I never thought about how confusing Filipino grammar is, I feel so bad for the people learning Filipino lmao
Im so confused 😭 i wanna learn it faster
I'm through that stage now onto German and Russian languages. Wish me luck.
I thought learning Tagalog is easy since it's a bit similar to Indonesian-
@@wildernessandme1744 sehr nett, i'm a filipino learning some german too, my current level is A1. Guten Tag leute!
@@clowncheck2867 Know every word as how i do it with english,
for example: it's already done.
in tagalog we say: tapos means "done" and na means "already" You can also say word for word like: (ito ay tapos na)
but "na" has another meaning or not really another meaning but another completely not related to "already" meaning,
for example: intelligent student
in tagalog we say: matalino na studyante.
if you want to word for word it in english, you need to understand that "na" in the middle of sentence is not (already) but (that's)
i think you know what that means,
for example: intelligent that's student.
just like when you say fly in english, how would you know the meaning of it? there's 2 meaning of it right? if i were to put it in english example: this is fly (that's) or (na) annoying.
i hope you'd find this helpful, i know my english is not that fluent.
I'm Indonesian, but my mother often watched Filipino drama, and she was very obsessed with Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla😂😂

Wow she is a millennial XD
They were cute tho 😍

i came here because i wanted to learn tagalog, and i’m also indonesian so i was kind of curious how similar my language to tagalog. After watching this video, i kinda feel overwhelmed just by looking how the grammar works lol.
It’s so complicated and confusing..
but i know if keep practicing and learing maybe i can start speaking and understanding a little bit.
and also love tagalog songs such as fishie bishie :) i also want to search a filipino friend.
Kumusta ka?
@@taiwander6846 maayus Naman
Kamusta mga kaibigan?
Tagalog mostly uses "participles"
E.g.
(Past tense)
Gumawâ - who did / *has done*
Ginawâ - what *was done* / *has been done*
(Present tense)
Gumágawà - who does / *is doing*
Ginágawà - what *is done* / *is being done*
(Future tense)
Gágawà - who *will do*
Gagawin - what *will be done*
These participles are obviously verbs, but like in many other languages, they can also function like nouns or adjectives.
Everything else is easily translatable to English or Indonesian
E.g.
Ko = by me / of me
Sa = in / on / at / etc.
Nito = of this / by this / this (as the object of the sentence)
Etc.
Example sentences:
*Gagawin* ko. = [Literal translation] (It) *will be done* by me. = _I will do it._ (as in a response to a question)
Maráming mgá *gágawin* . = [Literal translation] (There are) many (things that) will be *done* . = _There are many things to do._
Sa báhay ko na iyón *gágawin* . = [Literal translation] In the house by me (I've just thus decided that) that one *will be done* . = _I shall do that at home._
Búkas akó *gágawa* nitó sa ámin. = [Literal translation] Tomorrow I *will do / make* (one) of this in our (place). = _I will do/make this in our place tomorrow._
Those are truly the literal translations. Lol. That's why a Filipino learning Indonesian will quickly notice that the grammar is like English or Chinese.
The way linguists describe Tagalog as a language is not language learner-centric imo, but only because of the linguistic terms used. The descriptions can still be helpful.
Also, for those who are familiar with Latin, Tagalog uses participles in a similar way that Latin does (or Romance languages often do), allowing for vocabulary correspondence that often has no equivalent in English.
Sorry this is just how I explain languages lol
I have example how root words in tagalog can be modified based on tenses:
Aral - study
Nag-aral - (past) studied
Nag-aaral - (past continuous) studying
Umaral- (past) studied
Mag-aral- (future) study
Mag-aaral- student; learner
Paaralan - school
Silid-aralan- classroom
Aralin- (present) study
Aaralin- Will learn
Uma-aral - (past) studying
Etc... so many variation that can be used to modify the root word "aral" to be used in a sentence, depending the meaning of message. Misuse of variation will confuse the listener as the meaning will change.
araling panlipunan = social studies
You say "aralin" either as an imperative verb or a noun roughly meaning "a subject" (if the stress is at the last syllable). I don't think we use it to denote the present.
Also, we would never use "uma-aral". But if we do, itt'd just mean the same thing as "nag-aaral".
Where is the inaaral and inaral hahahaha
Mag-aaral. Depends on where the stress is applied. It can mean both Noun (student) and Verb (was about to study, future tense)
These are aspect modifications, not tenses
"can I copy your homework?"
"Yeah bro just don't make it obvious"
lol made my day
Now the first Malay speakers are now speaking Mandarin in Taiwan lol
@DiscordChaos just like the Northern Philippines are different from other major Austronesian languages
Spain: you should copy some of mine so it won't be obvious.
@@saurondraco6816 English: half of the vocabulary come from Latin and French
"Selamat pagi" in Indonesian and Malaysian is "Good morning".
In Tagalog, "salamat, pagi" means "Thank you, stingray".
Just to add: "Salamat, pogi" in Tagalog means "Thank you, handsome".
Stingray in Indonesian (and maybe in Malay in Malaysia) is "Pari". "Pagi" is not that far from "Pari"

As a Native Tagalog Speaker, our grammar is indeed confusing that sometimes I also get confused
Maybe you're not really that used to speaking it
I never even realized how hard the grammar is in tagalog, this was very enlightening. Thanks for the video!
I'm Filipino and whenever I hear Indonesians speak their language, I feel like I know the language but just can't understand it, I sometimes get frustrated. 😂
I'm from north sulawesi and i heard tagalog very likely to sangihe dialect.. sangihe is a northest island bordered next to davao
Otch Sigua I’m Kapampangan. This is so true.
Same here, I feel like the pronunciation of the alphabets and the accents are pretty similar, but you really need to learn the vocabs to actually converse
Malaysian here. You just described what I exactly feel when I listen to Tagalog 😅
me too i feel like it's a dialect from the southern part of the philippines
When we speak Tagalog we got no problem with that BUT if we try to explain how to speak Tagalog that is where the problem begins...
yeah. Especially, grammar of Tagalog is not taught in schools.

@@jamesmccloud7535 indeed, I also found out on google that Tagalog is a really difficult language to translate into english (not sure with other languages) and I agree 100%
i remembered my grade 5 teacher filipino subject switching to english subject 😅
As a Malaysian, I don't understand Tagalog, I wish I could, just a few similar words isn't enough to make our languages mutually intelligible. Glad that you made a video showing the aspect of in focus and out of focus in Tagalog, which I find it quite unique, and is something I never thought about, one might be able to find the same element in Malay/Indonesian but ours are not presented like in Tagalog.
Tagalog definitely is the more complex one but luckily its pronunciation is quite simple and straightforward, I think more so than Malay/Indonesian.
Tagalog is more complex because the language itself is much older than Bahasa. Tagalog language is still similar to the language of the first Austronesians in Taiwan. Austronesians first arrived in the Philippines then to Malaysia, Indonesia etc thus Philippine language took more time to evolved
The differences and similarities between the two languages are accurately explained, though I don't speak Bahasa Indonesian myself. Langfocus doesn't cease to amaze. You're doing a great job!

As a language nerd from India I often tend to observe similarities with the languages that I know.
Loanwords from Sanskrit and other Indian languages being present in Malay/Indonesian is fairly common knowledge but it was fascinating to find a couple of words of Indian origin in Tagalog as well.
Tagalog - Indonesian - Sanskrit - English
Mukha - Muka - Mukha - Face
Asa - Asa - Asha - Hope
But I'm guessing that the Indian influence on the Philippine languages comes via Malay rather than directly from Sanskrit.
You're right, Sanskrit and Hinduism was very strong back then in southeast Asia.

7:25 --> "To open" in Tagalog is "buksan", rather than "buka".
13:19 --> "Itu" from Indonesian and "ito" from Tagalog are cognates that stem back from a Proto-Malayo-Polynesian word.
In Tagalog "open your mouth" is buka ang bibig
To open is either *bukás* or *pagbukás* . “Buksan” is the shortened direct verb form of “bukasan.”
Buka and buksan are both "open". Which one is used depends on the context.
Buka is also open.. ibuka mo nga. Papasok ko na baby! Haha
I am from Sarawak in Malaysian Borneo. In the Sarawak Malay dialect, we have more words akin to Tagalog than to mainstream Malay. For example, a chicken is not ayam but manok. A cat is not Kucing, but pusa, and a dog is not anjing, but asu. What's more, some West Malaysians claim we sound more Filipino when we talk fast.
I'm Indonesian. Just to let you know that in Sundanese language which is spoken by people who lives in western part of Java island they call birds as manuk. And for the people who live in central and eastern part of Java island who speak javanese language, they call dog as asu not anjing which is Indonesian language.
i thought manok was malay language, and im from west borneo
Manuk is bird n asu is dog in Javanese
"kuting" is a kitten in tagalog
For us manok is pulutan😁
As an Indonesian, the only thing I know about tagalog is "Putang ina mo bobo"

He used Manila dialect of Tagalog. The Tagalog used in the province is quite different especially on verbs.
Ex. “Nakain ako ng pating.”
In Manila Tagalog, it means “A shark ate me.”
But in Rizal-Laguna Tagalog, it means either “I eat shark.” or “A shark ate me.” depending on pronounciation.
Nonetheless, a great video. 👍
Tama
Thats almost all provincial dialects of Tagalog except Bulacan and Nueva Ecija
Yung mga taga-Laguna yata madalas ganyan. Sa halip na kumakain, nakain.
Kaya akala ko dati pinaiikli lang.
Ganun pala sila magsalita.
"nakain ako ng pating" is already a wrong grammar. The correct grammar is "kinain ako ng pating"..... but again, it's still wrong. How can someone talk after being eaten by a shark? 🤣
Ako nagiging "kumakain" pag asa manila. Tas pag nasa cavite with friends "nakain" na. "Tumagilid" samin "tumagibang or tagibang" which is malalim na tagalog na ata. Depende ata yan sa mood

Tagalog actually has a bit of inflection for number. I mean, the verb could sometimes be inflected when either the subject or object (regardless of which is in focus) is plural; and it's used in specific situations where the speaker needs to emphasize the number. These are some examples.
Lumakad/Maglakad (to walk, singular)
- Lumakad ang bata. (The child walks.)
- Lumakad ka! (Walk! - command to a person)
Magsilakad (to walk, plural)
- Nagsilakad ang mga bata. (The children walk.)
- Magsilakad kayo! (Walk! - Command for people)
Kainin (to eat, singular/transitive)
- Kinain ko ang tinapay. (I ate the bread.)
Pagkaka(ka)inin (to eat, plural/transitive)
- Pinagka(ka)kain ko ang mga tinapay. (I ate the breads.)
Any clarification is welcome.
Then there is also the old-school "mangag-", which also means plurality. Also found with "si-" (which is like "all going to", which of course also implies plurality), hence the "mangagsi-" in "mangagsiawit".
Malaysian here, I can still understand Bahasa Indonesia but I need to read subtitles when watching Filipino TV shows. Tagalog is like a totally different language.

This is very well researched. You should do this same comparison/contrast feature on Indonesian and Kapampangan, a language spoken in the central plains of Luzon in the Philippines. You might find even more lexical similarity. I'd be interested in seeing how the grammars might be similar or different.
Well in terms of grammar, Philippine languages (including Zamboanga Chavacano) really tend to have both the Verb-Initial forms and the SVO pattern, and the "more natural" order for basic sentences like "He likes cats" is the Verb-Initial.
For Kapampangan (like other Philippine languages in general), the verb affixes for aspect and focus are also there, although of course not the same as Tagalog. A unique feature of Kapampangan among other Philippine languages is the pluralization: instead of separate particle "mga" in Tagalog, the plural form is *in the marker*, like "ing" = "ang", but "ding" = "ang mga"!

HI, I am Indonesian. This is an excellent video, however there's a small mistake in 4:07, actually the letter "e" has three sounds not two as you mentioned. They are "ê" like in senang, gembira, benang etc, é in sate, beta, becak etc and è like in bebek, ember, seng etc..
Sejak EYD V diberlakukan, huruf e hanya punya dua bunyi: ê dan e. Bunyi é dan è digabung. Namun, ada monoftong baru: eu.
@@RifqiPriyo, mungkin itu dalam penulisannya. Tetapi dalam pengucapannya tetap saja berbeda. Bukankah salah jika kita mengucapkan kata 'bebek' dengan bunyi 'e' seperti pada kata 'sate'? Ngomong-ngomong, apakah monoftong baru 'eu' itu seperti pengucapan 'eu' dalam bahasa sunda?
@@bpranoto Saya punya teman dari beberapa suku luar Jawa. Mereka kesulitan membedakan e pada sate dan e pada nenek. Jadi, itu mungkin yang jadi latar belakangnya.

As a native Spanish speaker and after having studied both languages to an lower intermediate stage I can say that Indonesian is far easier to grasp due to its easy grammar, compared to the complex Tagalog grammar which is pretty unique with its sentence word order and focus. That drive me nuts. In terms of vocabulary , I should say that Tagalog is easier thanks to the Spanish influence.
All in all, I learnt Indonesian first and faster. However, when I started doing Tagalog I kind of forgot my fluency in Indonesian since the similarity.
Filipino verb conjugations like the um- verbs, mag- verbs, and - in - verbs are crazy hard. 😅
Agreed, as a Malaysian I also find that Spanish is way easier to learn compared to tagalog eventhough they have a lot of word similarities, but their structures are too different and their consonants are much diversed..
I still couldn't write a single sentence in tagalog but I could write a broken spanish sentence
@@madeline842 This is true.

Indonesian and Filipino share many words, particularly those that describe natural things such as the sun, as well as various verbs. When the Spanish arrived, they introduced words that described a lot of the Western technology they brought to the Philippines. It's quite fascinating how one can trace Filipino history through the evolution of its language. Today, a significant portion of the Filipino language consists of American English words and phrases.
"I feel like I should be able to understand it, but I can't" - Yeah I felt that
I remember, I have an Indonesian workmate before when I was working in Japan. Sometimes, when we are at break, we Filipinos gather alongside with Indonesian workmates to take a snack. We always so sure that we could understand them in some ways when they are murmuring. And found out that they can somehow understand us too! Haha. Ironic.
Haha🇵🇭🇮🇩😂😂
Indonesian is similar to bisaya in how bisaya can use mosulod sa skwelahan where the conjugation of the sentence stays in the beginning, Beit attatched instead of detached . This doesn’t apply to everything like nangutana being “they asked” and pangutana being the unconjugated “go ask”
But some examples it works is
Mosulod ( will go inside)
Nagsulod (is going inside/went inside)
Nisulod (went inside)
Masulod (going to be put inside)
Prolly more I’m tired and I’m only semi fluent in bisaya
Paul I would love to see a video going over just Tagalog. Love your videos.
I'm Indonesian living in the westernmost of Sumatera island, namely Gayo Highland in Aceh province.
We speak Gayonese and Indonesian interchangebly since my ethnicity is Gayo, the indigenous people of Gayo Highland.
Surprisingly, our closest language (Gayonese) is Kinaray-a language which is spoken in Philippines.
Respect and love for Philippines from Indonesia.

@@DatuSumakwel7 , From Wikipedia. I also am realized that both Gayonese and Kinaray-a have a sheer words in common, especially basic vocabularies. I'm pretty sure that both languages share the same root, originated from Formosa island (nowadays Taiwan).
Kinaray a is the 4th subbranch of the Visayan languages. Sugbuanon spoken in cebu, hiligaynon, spoken in iloilo and bacolod, waray, spoken samar and leyte and karay a, spoken in the province of antique..
@@DatuSumakwel7 My grandfather is kinaray-a and it was his first language too and I tried to ask him to teach me but I don't think he's in the proper state and age to teach me, all I've learned from him is "insa" or what and "Kamaan ka mag-hambal kang karay-a? (another name for Kinaray-a)" or Do you know how to speak Kinaray-a. But now since we live in Bacolod speak mostly English and ilonggo however he also speaks Bisaya and Tagalog among others

Comparing Malay with Indonesian languages is like comparing British with American dialects, or European Portuguese with Brazilian Portuguese.
As a Malay, I can understand Indonesian from media influence such as social media and TV series.
Meanwhile, comparing Tagalog or Filipino language with Malay-Indonesian is to English with Dutch or related Germanic languages.
Yes, fair comparison. Malay and Indonesian are more dialectically related, whereas Tagalog and Malay are of the same family.
You got the point.
Check/subs my channel, i am starting Uyghur language :)
The difference between American and British dialects of English is not even that extreme, 99% of the content is mutually intelligible. IME Indonesian and Malaysian are close to being different languages, rather than dialects of the same language. Of course when it comes to formal Indonesian/Malaysian they are mostly the same, but when it comes to how people actually speak on a day-to-day basis they are far apart. It seems like Malaysians can understand the speech of Indonesians fairly well, but the inverse is not true. I'm not totally sure why that is.
@@karawethan Hi! Thanks for the thoughtful comment. The Indonesian language indeed derives from Riau Malay in Sumatra Island, where it is close to the Malay Peninsula. In many centuries, Malay has been the lingua franca throughout the Nusantara (Malay/Indonesian Archipelago) for trade and diplomacy. However, because of very wide demographics separated by thousands of islands, there are distinct variants of Malay across the Nusantara, each influenced by the other Austronesian tribes at their respective settlements such as Javanese, Sundanese, Acehnese, Dayak, Bugis and many others. Eventually, due to colonialism, the language splits to suit its national identity. For example, colonial English partly influenced Malay while maintaining its Malay originality, while colonial Dutch partly influenced Indonesian with more added vocabularies, modified structure and grammar as well as slangs attributed to every Indonesian ethnic group particularly Javanese (Betawi is a Malay creole in Jakarta), among others.
Yes, I'm Filipina. I'm actually learning Indonesian language because I thought it was easier than other language I've been studying (like Korean & Nihongo),'coz there some similarities in both languages🙂
few years ago, At my work office, two Filipino ladies were talking and they mentioned the word "hangin" and made a hand gesture, then laughed. They assumed that no one understood (they knew I was a Malaysian). Then I commented that they ate too much last night, and should refrain from passing gas (fart). They were so surprised I understood their topic of conversation..LOL.
I and myfriend were playing mmorpg with Filipino friend, and i spoke to myfriend in Javanese language (one of language in Indonesia), i said "Mbalek" it means get back in javanese version, and my Filipino friend asked me "why do we have to get back?" then i realized some word of our language has same meaning. it was fun game and always happy to play with them.
It seems your Filipino friend speaks cebuano a language spoken in central to southern Philippines, the root word"balik" means return or get back in many Filipino languages, the difference is the use of prefixes /infixes/suffixes , Tagalog use the infix "um" , bUMalik while cebuano use the prefix "mo" MObalik, also in some cases in cebuano E and I are interchangeable
Haha because the javanese of indonesia were the Austronesians came from the Philippines :) so its make sense that you are the closest language here compared to any bahasa speaker...
Ohh you can check it on Google if you want "Javanese origin" =)...
@@anorexorcist4472 Mubalik*
@@anorexorcist4472 Bisaya spoken in Negros is Cebuano Bisaya. Cebuano officially only had 3 vowel sounds "a", "i", and "u" but then adopted the Tagalog writing format of replacing the last "u" vowel with "o" if it is used in succession syllabically within a word. So if there is an "o" sound in Cebuano Bisaya it is almost always spelled with a "u" unless the condition stated above is present and a few exceptions. Which means "mobalik" is wrong. It's "mubalik". The pronunciation does not matter.
"You're just a bisaya with a hard accent."
What do you mean? You sound so pretentious. Bisaya should sound hard because we have more glottal stops than Tagalog. I think you are confusing intonation with the glottal stop that we use, commonly present at the final vowel of a word.
Ex:
vomit = suka (no glottal stop)
vinegar = sukà (glottal stop at the final
vowel)

Filipinos don't realize that Tagalog grammar is crazy. I'm amazed with foreigners who become fluent in it, and by fluent, I mean, near native fluent and not just conversational.
Here's is my observation as a student of French and Japanese. Japanese conjugation is more regular than Filipino, with very few irregular verbs (of course you have other things to worry about such as the multiple readings of kanji). French has tons of irregular verbs, but even if you forget the proper conjugation for a verb yourself, there is not much ambiguity when you read written French as long as you can identify the root. In Filipino, understanding why a verb is conjugated in a particular in crucial to understanding spoken or written text. The difference between kumain and kinain can be a matter of life and death. Lol
There are many foreign/foreign born celebrities who can converse in Tagalog. Take Dasuri Choi for example. If you watch her vlogs you will notice that she can converse in Tagalog with little to no problems. But if you examine her verb forms, she uses the most basic ones. On the other hand, a native Tagalog speaker who never went to school can use complex forms such as maki-, nagsi-, pinag-, -han, etc with no difficulty. Not to mention that each complex form conjugates for three tenses, and many verb mixes into each affix differently, kind of like liason in French but less regular.
Filipinos who stay in Japan and France long enough become fluent and pass the highest level of fluency tests. I have yet to see a foreigner who learned Tagalog as an adult that is fluent.
Spoken Tagalog is among the easiest to learn, however, unlike western languages every verb is an irregular verb and conjugation as to time, place or persons, is a nightmare. Non Tagalog Speaker like the Chinese got along fine using mainly the root word. Vocabulary used before Magellan Persist until today. Counting 1-10, Metals, -Ginto, Tanso. Bakal,etc. Animals Kambing, Babi(Baboy), Ayam (Manok), Dagat (Laut). Of course many things used by conquering powers introduced their own words, Spanish, in Philippines, Dutch in Indonesia, and British English in Malaysia. One day someboody will make a Lingua Franca for South East Asia, utilizing most of commo words.

I'm a native speaker of both Javanese and Indonesian. I found out that the similarity between Javanese and Filipino is probably higher than that between Indonesian and Filipino. The language structure of Filipino is also similar to that of Old Javanese (Verb-Subject-Object). Javanese and Old Javanese also have infixes "um" and "in" like Filipino does. Even though Javanese is a different language than Old Javanese, and the syntax structure has diverged from Old Javananese, they still share approximately 50% of the same vocabulary. Some word structures also don't change. Here's the example of some similar words:
Filipino-Javanese:
sulat=serat (high language)=write
kalimutan=kalimutan (literature) =forget
putol=puthul (pronounced "puthol")=cut off
aso=asu=dog
dayo=dayoh=foreigner
bahay=bale=house
pito=pitu=seven
walo=wolu=eight
tatlo=telu=three
pangalan=pangaran (from base word aran)=name
gawin=gawe=to make/work/do
labi=lambe=lips
utak=utak=brain
giling=giling=grind
langit=langit= sky
hangin=angin=wind
mata=mata=eye
mulat [to open one's eye]=mulat [to see carefully]
pisak=picek=blind of one eye
ulan=udan=rain
bathala=bathara=god
lawa=rawa=lake
titi=titit=penis
puki=puki (literature)=vagina
apoy=apuy (literature)=fire
talong=terong=eggplant
daliri=dariji/driji=finger
talampakan=talapakan/telapakan/dlamakan=sole
mabilis=aglis/ gelis= fast
kidlat=kilat= lightning
inom=inum (literature, pronounced "inom")= drink
kuko=kuku=finger nail
pako=paku= nail
sa loob=salebet [high language]= within/ inside
magpakain=makani= feed
upa=upah=salary/payment
kupkop [kept and protected under one's care]=kukup (pronounced "kukop") [to embrace/kept and protected under one's care]
harang=alang=to barricade
pangko [to carry in one's arms] =pangku [to sit on someone's lap]
uban=uban/uwan= gray hair
tulog=turu=sleep
balik=balik=go back
etc.
Kapampangan, one of Philippines local languages, also has some similarities to Javanese to a degree that Filipino, Tagalog, or Indonesian don't have.
Example:
Kapampangan-Javanese:
bengi=bengi=night
gawa-gawa=gawe-gawe=make up/pretend falsely
alun=alun=waves
apus (fake)= apus (lie)/ apus-apus (fake)
basa=waca=read
mangan=mangan=eat
bale=bale/omah=house
muli=mulih=go home
nanu=anu=what (but we use this word in different context)
lukas=lukar (high language)= take off
asu=asu=dog
manuk (chicken)=manuk (bird)
bandi=banda=possessions
bangke=bangke=corps
dalan=dalan=road
etc.
PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I MADE MISTAKE. CHEERS!
NOTE: THIS SIMPLE AND SHALLOW RESEARCH IS BASED ON DICTIONARIES OF BOTH JAVANESE AND TAGALOG. FOR JAVANESE I USE "BAUSASTRA JAWA" OR SIMPLY USE www.sastra.org/leksikon.

I am Indonesian and I don't understand Tagalog. But there were an instance where I mistook a Filipino sailor for an Indonesian because I thought I heard him spoke Indonesian. One time a Filipino lady that was queuing in front of my wife and I in Frankfurt airport insisted that we were Filipinos because she thought we were speaking Tagalog. Now I understand why it happened.
Indonesian and Tagalog, from a distance, sound very similar to me. The intonations and staccato are very similar. I was on my way to my beach hockey game in Santa Monica, Calif and I saw a group in the parking lot getting ready to play their own roller hockey game. They looked Pinoy to me and I could hear them talking and speaking, when I got closer I couldn't understand any words. I had a nice conversation with them, we definitely get a long with together.
