I definitely don't think it's Tagalog. Tagalog doesn't sound like anything to me but... Tagalog.

My mother said it was the language they speak in Cebu that sounds the most like Spanish, but I'm not so sure...

(Filipino answerers or those familiar with the languages there are much loved.)

I am half Filipino and want to begin studying Tagalog. Just curious how difficult it may be. I speak a little a Spanish and Portuguese so I have some experince studying other languages, but those are similar to English. Any other advise would be appreciated.

I'm doing an essay in S.S about the philippines, and i decided to do bagyo. so does anyone know the languages they speak other that tagalog

Where can you find what languages they offer on the website?

It seems kinda weird that there is Chinese, and Japanese for community college language classes, but why don't I see more variety? I am interested in taking Korean and some Tagalog (most of my friends from work are from the Philipines) but those languages are not offered and I am too broke to go to the Language Door place to learn them. (up to 0 bucks to learn just one language!).

Hello, I need to write a stand showing some languages. And I need to write Tagalog .. but I am wondering how do I actually write the word "Tagalog" in tagalog. for example Japanese word in japanese is 日本語(nihongo), or Portuguese word in portuguese is Português. Thanks　

I have encountered two Filipino people who have told me that to them it is an unsult to hear a White Foreigner trying to speak Tagalog to them. To me this sounds ridiculous because Filipino people speak so many languages abroad- they quickly learn Spanish and Arabic and German and French and speak those well and no one thinks that way about them.
Frankly, I have never heard anything more preposterous in my life.
Why are they saying that and is it an insult to you, too?

I see that in sites about the Philippines, they use <i>Pilipino</i>, but my family and everyone from the Philippines speaks <i>Tagalog</i>. Is Pilipino reffering to all the languages and dialects of the Philippines?

i can be your tutor. Tagalog is the Filipino language while Cebuano is the language in most of the Visayan provinces. I can teach you how to speak some tagalog or cebuano languages.

We Filipinos are taught that the language tat we use today borrows words from other languages such as Malay, Spanish and some Chinese. So now the question is which of those languages contributed the most to Filipino the way we know it today?
Btw I curious about this fact because I think it will help me to decide what foreign language to study since it may be easier due to the similarities.

thank you all for your help.

I am trying to learn tagalog and a couple of other languages, but I do not understand some of the shorthand in chat. Please tell me what this means: pwde ko ba malaman ano cp num m. para mg mit dn tau
