Quality Tagalog Translations by Professionals

Tagalog is the language spoken in the Philippines. It belongs to the Austronesian language family and is spoken by 70 million people. It’s the most popular language in the Philippines today.

Tagalog is closely related to many other languages in the Pacific region, such as the dialect of Maori, Indonesian, and Malay. It evolved from the language of the Tagalog people, a tribe that lived in what is now Manila. Since this location has been the economic, political, and cultural center of the Philippines for ages, the Tagalog language gained importance early on.

Filipino Evolved from Tagalog

Filipino is the official language of the Philippines, but it developed from the standard language of Tagalog. Before the beginning of World War II, the Philippine National Assembly set Tagalog as the basis for the national language. Once the war was over, however, the term “Tagalog” was officially replaced with Filipino. Now, Filipino is taught in all public schools in the Philippines.

A 20-character alphabet based on Tagalog was introduced and is still used today in written Tagalog or Filipino. The amount of letters went through continuously undulating phases to end up at their modern final count of 28 characters, which build the current official Philippine alphabet.

The alphabet combines Philippine Baybayin characters and Latin letters and is very similar to the Latin alphabet. This can be attributed to the influence of the English and Spanish languages. The Baybayin writing system, however, is based on old, pre-colonial characters used in the Philippines during the Middle Ages.

Learning Tagalog or Filipino is actually quite easy since most of the letters are pronounced exactly as they are written. Knowing how to emphasize a word in Tagalog or Filipino is not complicated either because, more often than not, the stress falls on the last syllable of the word.
