Tagalog is the official language of the people living in Philippine Islands. It is the first language for most Filipinos and the second language for many others.
The literal translation of the Tagalog word means, “from the river.” Includes language effects from China, Malaysia, Spain and the United States. Tagalog has changed over the years as various countries have had an impact on the Philippines.
Tagalog includes words, phrases, and pronouns in other languages. Some Filipinos refer to a combination of Tagalog and English as Tagalog. Most Filipinos still speak Tagalog, although younger generations are learning other Filipino languages. It is important to note that, Tagalog is the foundation on which Filipino is built, and Filipino is the natural origin of Tagalog.
