Tagalog Language
Tagalog is the most widely known language of the Philippines. It is the predominate language of Manila and Luzon. Also, it is widely spoken throughout the Philippines.
Filipino (Pilipino) is a language based on Tagalog, renamed and modified in order to create a national language. Before 1989
Pilipino was the national language. Filipino is said to be a combination of all the different Philippine languages, but is essentially
Tagalog. In the Manila and the surrounding area, Tagalog is the primary language. Filipino and English are the official
languages in the Philippines. Taglish is a combination of Tagalog and English.
The Tagalog Language SoftwareŠ currently contains a database of over 8,200 words. Approximately 1,000 of the most common words
have sound. Periodically words are added to the dictionary. Spoken words (with sound) are in the language learning utility and
dictionary. Also, there are spoken locations in the maps.
The Tagalog Language software is available on CD-ROM. The most
current version is 4.1.1, released in October of 2006.
One word used in English, boondocks, comes from the Tagalog word bundok, meaning mountain.
