Frequently Asked Questions
What language is Tagalog?
Tagalog is an Austronesian language natively spoken by the Tagalog people in the Philippines, where a standardised variety of the language – Filipino – is the national language.
As part of the Austronesian language family, Tagalog is related to Malay and some languages spoken in Vietnam, Borneo, and Java.
What is the structure of Tagalog?
Tagalog is a slightly inflected language. Nouns are not inflected (though case-making particles are often positioned before them), pronouns are inflected to indicate number, and verbs are inflected by focus, aspect, and voice.
The nine basic parts of Tagalog speech are pang-uri (adjectives), pang-abay (adverbs), pangatnig (conjunctions), pang-angkop (ligatures), pangngalan (nouns), pang-ukol (prepositions), panghalip (pronouns), and pandiwa (verbs), and particles.
One interesting feature of Tagalog is how often particles are used to add nuance to sentences, making direct translation very challenging indeed.
How many alphabets does Tagalog have?
Before 1987, Tagalog and Filipino – the standardised variety of Tagalog that is the national language of the Philippines – possessed several different alphabets.
Historically, the pre-colonisation Tagalog baybayin script was heavily influenced by Malay and Indonesian. The arrival of Spanish missionaries also introduced a Latin alphabet – the abecedario – of 32 characters. This was later reduced to the 20-letter abakada.
Modern Filipino has one alphabet of 28 letters created as part of the 1987 Filipino Constitution language commission. These letters are A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, Ñ, NG, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z.
