Lots of tagalog (filipino language) words are almost the same as some french words. Here's some french that sounds like tagalog:

TURN - le coup (liko)
LITER - le true (litro)
BEHIND - le coud (likod)
FIVE - le ma (lima)

What was our original language and how did some french words get into it? I thought Spain was the only country who influenced the Philippines.
