Filipino is the national language of the Philippines although Tagalog and Filipino are similar that’s why sometimes they think Tagalog (Filipino was based on Tagalog) is the official language.
here’s the link that explains it more.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filipino_language
Don’t worry about it, I believe that in many years to come it would become obsolete.
Tagalog is, and has always been considered, a language. I am not aware that there are neo-experts who now say otherwise.
Tagalog is one of the dialect
Of the filipino language
Tagalog has always been considered a language of the Philippines. Don’t know what ”experts” you think say it is not a true language.
Just like other major dialects like Ilocano and Cebuano, Tagalog is a native dialect of the Tagalog provinces of the Philippines.
It can not be mistaken as the National language of the Philippines which is Filipino.
Show me your "experts" first and then I`ll tell you what I think.
EDIT: I agree with fireFox completely. Dialects are variations of a language; speakers of different dialects can generally understand each other. For example, the Tagalog language has many different variations, which you can have a look at here:
http://www.101languages.net/tagalog/dialects.html
Speakers of other languages, however, like Tagalog and Cebuano, often do not find their respective languages mutually intelligible. If you want proof of this, click on the following web page, then choose "Mutual Intelligibility"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_the_Philippines
This is similar to the case of "dialects" in China. Politically, Cantonese is considered a dialect; linguistically it is a separate language. An example of a Chinese dialect, would be the Beijing dialect and Jiao-Liao dialect, both variations of Mandarin Chinese. The "Chinese language" is an umbrella term covering many languages, and the same goes for the Philippines.
Don`t think that Filipino is the language, and Tagalog is a dialect either. Filipino is the de facto form of Tagalog. Compare:
Filipino = gobyerno
Tagalog = pamahalaan
it’s not a language, it is one of the dialects in the philippines (correct me if i am wrong).
that’s why when you’re chosing a language on the Internet, You have that Option "Filipino" not "Tagalog"
FILIPINO languages are consist of many dialect and the Tagalog dialect is the main officially recognized as a language in the Philippines.
PILIPINO- are the citizens.
well…
Tagalog comes from the word TAGA-ILOG which means from the river….it actually pertains to the culture and dialects of the inhabitants by the river pasig…
tagalog may not be a language historically, because it addresses to the citizens of the people of ilog pasig…
but….technically,…speaking…it is the most popular language of use in the philippines for like hundreds of years already, so don’t change the status quo…
Having many technical and scientific terms has never been a criterion used in defining language. Tagalog is a language spoken by a certain group of people from a geographical area. It is the basis for Filipino, the national language of the country.
Maybe your language experts claim that Tagalog is not a language but a dialect instead. Dialects are derived from languages, and speakers of dialects from the same language understand each other, though there may be some discernible differences in their speech patterns and sentence construction. For example Bulacan Tagalog is a dialect as is Batangas Tagalog, both based on the same language. They are slightly different with some variants but generally to each other they are intelligible, and therefore the speakers can converse and be understood. However Tagalog, Cebuano and Ilocano speakers cannot understand each other as they are speaking completely different languages.
First filipinos are invaded by Spain and Americans
Secondly they aren’t considered Asian anymore by Caucasian Americans
now their language isn’t considered a real language?
I know Tagalog is a Dialect but does it bother experts that much to go through that trouble?
We get pushed around a lot
No language or dialect in this world is perfect. Language is constantly changing and developing – and that process will never end.
Tagalog (or Pilipino) as the Filipinos call it, whether a language or a dialect is not really the issue. Language is meant to express, not to impress. (By the way, can anyone name me a perfect language!)
