I made some corrections and improvements to the #Religious Literature section. Previously, there was a confusing timeline of when the first Tagalog ] was published. It stated that the PBS published the full translation in 1970, and then further down it said there was a ] translation published in 1909. According to my research, the first translation and publication was in 1905. So as not to just delete the entry for PBS, I simply added "modern" Tagalog as their translation. If anyone else has any more information, please expand. Thanks! ] (]) 08:59, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

==Trillon borrowing==
|archive = Talk:Tagalog language/Archive %(counter)d
In the number sections it states that 1,000,000,000,000 is called 'trilyon', borrowed from the spanish word 'trillón'. But Trillon in spanish does not mean 1,000,000,000,000 (10^12) , it means 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 (10^18). See http://es.wikipedia.org/Trillon
}}
I don't know if in Tagalog trilyon is really used for 10^12 or not, but if it is, and it is supposedly taken from spanish I think a clarification should be made saying it is not correct spanish. Perhaps it is actually borrowed from english, were I understand trillion really means 10^12. Can someone familiar with Tagalog confirm? --] (]) 15:15, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

==VERY Unlikely borrowings==
I removed very, very unlikely borrowings in the "borrowings" chart. Let's get one thing straight the following are rarely, rarely borrowed:

* Pronouns - Tayo is NOT borrow from the other languages of Luzon.
* Conjuctions - Give me several examples where function words like conjunctions are borrowed? And, I mean several, i.e. more than say... 7.
* Huwag (!!!) - lexical items such as this are very, very doubtful.

All the above a FUNCTION words.

Somehow, certain persons are mistaking borrowings and cognates. They see a cognate and immediately think that their language is the origin, when they are half wrong. BOTH Tagalog and Malay derive from a common Proto-Austronesian. The person, who keeps saying that Tagalog is derived from Malay is incorrect, full stop or period. And, they keep insisting that particular lexical items are in fact derived from Malay. Those lexical items I fail to see the "derivation", I have removed. Those that are plausible, have remained intact until they can be verified. Otherwise, STENT.

:Hi Joe, I'm going to address your concerns.
:The use of TAYO is limited to languages spoken in Luzon. Tagalog is a Central Philippine language where KITA is normally used. My source is Dr. David Zorc. I'll look for the full citation (it's been a while). This also goes for a number of Tagalog's words, many of which were borrowed from Kapampangan.
:Conjunctions. Tagalog and other Philippine languages has borrowed a lot of conjunctions from Spanish - o, porke, para, pues, ni, hasta, mientrastanto, etc.
:The "huwag" part I'll remove. I think I may have gotten it from the Zorc source, but I'm not sure.
:But yes, Tagalog did borrow a lot of Malay words while many are obviously cognate; the problem is sorting between the two. The ones I listed are from Dr. John U. Wolff's 1976''Malay borrowings in Tagalog''. I'm reverting your removals for now, and I'll be putting in the citation for the Zorc one as soon as I find it. --] 02:42, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

::Couldn't help but comment that there is a word in Tagalog which doesn't seem to come from Spanish but is a cognate with latin which .Ako maybe a cognate of ego(I). Also tata is an old/ancient latin meaning father(similar to Tatay). Cognates of sabon(soap) are found in the languages of India/Hindi (and regional languages), Indonesia(Sebun), Arabic, Persian, and Malay. --] (]) 08:33, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

:::That's a good point. Sometimes I find the Spanish borrowings bizarre because virtually every Tagalog conjunction borrowed from Spanish has a Tagalog counterpart that means exactly the same thing, and which ones speakers use seem to be regional and even personal: I have ''never'' heard a Tagalog speaker use "pues," "hasta," "mientrstanto;" I have ''very'' rarely heard "porke;" "ni" is not a Spanish borrowing at all; and "para" and "o" are the only common ones I hear, and many speakers prefer "dahil"/"dahil sa" and other constructions, etc. over "para" (I have heard speakers use both in comparatively equal frequency). In fact, "o" is the only example mentioned that I hear almost universally.

:::Also the Malay/Tagalog issue is very interesting. Technically Tagalog is "older" than Malay considering the fact that the Austronesian people migrated from prehistoric Taiwan and Southern China to the Philippine archipelago, then further south until they reached Malaysia and Indonesia; the Malaysians and Indonesians seem to have "back migrated" to parts of the Philippines sometime afterwards. Historical linguistic research shows support for this. The cultures have been in contact for centuries well before Spanish occupation. Also, some genetic research suggests that Filipinos are genetically closer to Southern Chinese (where the Austronesian people are believed to have originated) than people of the Indonesian/Malaysian archipelago which also supports the "migration from Taiwan" theory. Not to belabor the point, but sorting out what are borrowings and what are not is difficult because we are trying to "sort out" borrowed words from languages that are genetically related. I have articles; sorry I don't have them prepared but I'll fish them out when I have time. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 05:10, 1 March 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
::Rizal,Bulacan,Bataan,Nueva Ecija,Tarlac and Zambales used to be Kapampangan in the prehispanic era that is why the tagalog spoken there has many kapampangan loans.] (])

::It's very hard to sort which words may be borrowings from Malay or which are simply cognates. Also, who knows... maybe Malay actually borrowed from Tagalog! The Austronesian language group, if I remember correctly, is one of the largest or the largest language group when it comes to the sheer number of different languages in the family. These languages generally share a core stock of words inherited from Proto-Austronesian. Also, because the written histories for these languages most often don't stretch very far back compared to say, Indo-European languages, I imagine that even language experts themselves may have some difficulty sorting everything out. I say that a comprehensive academic study should be referred to when trying to list borrowings. I think even a language history book will get some cognates/borrowings confused. With that being said, there are a few words that appear to be questionable just from a glance. "Anak", for example, is most definitely cognate-- it appears in a great many Philippine (and other Austronesian?) languages and is very commonly used. A word that critical is not often borrowed. Other words that should be probably looked into are "tulong" and "sakit". But, in general, all those listed as borrowed from Malay, or any other genetically related language, should be checked with scrutiny before being presented as fact. The world already has enough misconceptions about language--we don't want to create any more! ] (]) 10:17, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

I have to say that it is quite unlikely for Tagalog and other Philippines languages to borrow from Malay language. As it is mentioned by 72.196.121.74, Philippines languages are older than Malay-Indonesian language. Malay-Indonesian language has less complex grammar compare to Philippines languages. From my observation, I found out that younger languages tend to have simplified grammar compare to their related ancestor. For example, Latin has far more complex grammar compare to its descendants, e.g. French, Spanish, Italian. Koine Greek also has complex grammar which is not to be used in Modern Greek. The same also applies to English, in which Shakespearean English is way too complicated for today's English users. So, saying Tagalog (since it is older) borrowing words from Malay will not be convincing. And the list of Tagalog loan words Christopher Sundita may not be accurate. For example, in Malay, "color" is "warna";"write" is "tulis", "prisoner" is "tawanan", "beauty" is "kecantikan". There is no trace of "kulay","sulat","bilanggo"or "ganda" in both Malay and Indonesian.

And Tagalog may have borrowed DIRECTLY from Tamil, Sanskrit and Arabic because there are ample evidences to show that ancient Filipino had done trading with Indian and Arabic merchants, far before the establishment of Malacca Sultanate. And I haven't read any historical accounts about Filipinos trading with Malay merchants even though they are relatives. So saying these borrowed words are introduced to Tagalog via Malay will not be plausible. ] (]) 04:00, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

I disagree with the article's claim that Tagalog borrowed these words from central philippine languages: ng, araw, ang, ito, nito. Tagalog IS a Central Philippine Language along with the Visayan Languages. These words are cognates because they are in the same local-family. Tagalog is closer to Cebuano, or Ilonggo, then say Ilokano or Pampangan. Most Philippine languages are Austronesian Languages so they are related because of language evolution, but some are closer than others. I agree that "tayo" is a borrowing because other central languages, like Ilonngo only have "kita" meaning We Inclusive. However, ng and ang are obviously not borrowings. All Austronesian languages which follow the ] have markers such as "ang" and "ng". Not all words between Austronesian languages that are similar are borrowings. No one is claiming that Tagalog borrowed the ] word "aho" meaning "I". "Ako/aku/aho are cognates in every austronesian language and are used in their Swadesh List. Another Tagalog word "araw" is probably not a borrowing from a Visayan Language because in Visayan languages araw=adlaw. This is another word that demonstrates a sound-change between Tagalog and other Central Philippine languages. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 05:45, 16 January 2013 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Moreover, to answer the comment that "ako" may be a cognate of "ego"... It so happens that Latin and all Indo European Languages probably evolved from ]. Tagalog however evolved from Proto Austronesian. If you look at the proto forms for the latin "Ego" a major difference becomes evident in the reconstructed forms. For example Latin "Ego", German "Ich", Norse "Eg" all evolved from the proto indo european word for the first person singlular pronoun /*heǵ/(oH/Hom). The ]'s word for the first person singular was /aku/.
The second latin word for father "tata" probably evolved from the proto indo European /ata/ (it became the primary word for father in the ] before being palatilized... its modern cognates are in Polish, in Russian. The word might have been borrowed from Proto-Altaic, whose word was also possibly (proto-altaic is not yet an established proto language) "ata".ˈThe fact that they look similar now is coincidental. Neither "ako" nor "ego" had an "o" ending in their proto language's form. Moreover, Ako possible had a forth syllable as a prefix in front of it, whereas Latin gained an "o" from /h*eg/. There is an extremely controversial theory in ] that speculates the existence of a macro-family called the ]s. The only languages not included in some proposals of this family are those indiginous to Sub-Saharan Africa and Australia. ] (]) 03:27, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

'''I just want to say that the word KARMA is an international word.

''Also, why is there a list of these stuff on here when you don't even see other language pages with list of words that were borrowed from other countries''?! I think you should take that out. It's pretty stupid to put that list up when it's not even needed.'''

:It's a derived word from Sanskrit, '''NOT''' Tamil. So, if you're going to '''BOLD''' your post, make sure you come correct. Otherwise you look obnoxious. In addition, if you have enough gall, then claim your post.

On the contrary, regarding ''loan words'', it's OK. Look around the Misplaced Pages, you'll find a list of loans listed for some of the articles. So, your argument is quite moot. ] (]) 01:08, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Generally, when a language borrows a word another language borrowed (like Karma from English) it is written like so: Karma (Sanskrit via English). You have to include the language it originally came from unless no one knows for certain which language it came from. Actually it may be that Sanskrit borrowed the word from ], as Sanskrit is an ] that entered India perhaps sometime around 1500 BCE whereas Tamil, a Dravidian language, was more or less indiginous to the region (at least at the time of the ] migration into India after the collapse of the Indus Valley Civilization). Karma was first documented however in Sanskrit... ] (]) 03:43, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

==tagalog post alveolars==
tagalog post alveolars do exist,but tagalog postalveolars are normally alveolo palatal not like english which are domed,rounded and partially palatalized.
proof:
http://felipeaira.i.ph/blogs/felipeaira/2008/06/26/ipa-chart-for-tagalog\
for me \ty\ digraph makes sense in tagalog orthography instead of \ts\ because soft g which is the voiced counterpart is written as \dy\ in tagalog orthography,tagalog tʃ is actually tɕ and dʒ is actually dʑ in tagalog,tagalog post alveolars.

What i notice is that native alveolo palatals occur on demonstratives frequently dijan> dʑan(dem.) and tijan>tɕan(dem.) and they sometimes dissapear in stress added syllables on loan words like junction which is sometimes pronounced as dijaŋɕon or dzaŋɕon
and diego is normally pronounced as dʑego in tagalog.

Some posh people pronounce the soft g sound as ʑ especially Kris Aquino-/korek ka ʑan/

==This part should be exluded in the article since it is about Filipino already==

In 1939, Manuel L. Quezon named the national language "Wikang Pambansa" ("National Language"). Twenty years later, in 1959, it was renamed by the Secretary of Education, Jose Romero, as Pilipino to give it a national rather than ethnic label and connotation. The changing of the name did not, however, result in acceptance at the conscious level among non-Tagalogs, especially Cebuanos who had not accepted the selection..

In 1971, the language issue was revived once more, and a compromise solution was worked out—a "universalist" approach to the national language, to be called Filipino rather than Pilipino. When a new constitution was drawn up in 1987, it named Filipino as the national language. The constitution specified that as that Filipino language evolves, it shall be further developed and enriched on the basis of existing Philippine and other languages.

:Don't know if you'll find a word for co-wife. The culture of most Tagalog speakers is not polygamous, so they may not have a word for that. However, the Muslims in the South are also Tagalog speakers. Maybe they allow polygamous relationships - but the word they use might be a word tied to the Muslim religion as opposed to a general word. Not every word in every language has a corresponding word in every other language.

:I just checked my Vicassan's Pilipino-English Dictionary, Abridged Edition, and there's no entry for baisan or balay. "bilas" is there alright, "The husband of one's sister-in-law".

That source says, "The classic Tagalog alphabet consists of 20 letters (15 consonants and 5 vowels)", which may or may not be relevant there, and also contains a section about consonants which says, "# the (authentic) consonants are: b, p, d, t, k, g, ng, h, l, m, n, r, s, w, y" (I count 15 there). The section on consonants also contains a chart which depicts 25 consonant phonemes (at least that's what I think the chart depicts).

== zero ==

Re , I don't speak Tagalog, but I happen to have copies of ]'s dictionaries on my bookshelf. Re , his English-Tagalog dictionary translates sense (1) of ''zero'' as "n. nought: Sero. (as '''S'''ero, not as '''Z'''ero)

I'm wondering a couple of things. Firstly, specifically related to thbis article and to Tagalog as a language, was the ''nought'' sense of ''zero'' perhaps expressed as "sero" during Spanish times? Did it perhaps morph into "zero" post-1898 under linguistic pressure during American governance and ]? If the answer is affirmative, which version should be asserted here as "zero" in the Tagalog language -- the one loaned from Spanish or the one loaned from English? Secondly, transcending this article, one wonders when/how the concept of the numeric zero (صفر &mdash; ''ṣifr'') surfaced in Filipino culture. ] ] <small>(earlier ''Boracay Bill'')</small> 02:24, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

/s/ and /z/ are not ] in Tagalog. "Sero" and "Zero" are just varying spellings both pronounced the same way (Native Tagalog speakers outside of Metro Manila) (Tagalog speakers of dialects which lax word final /o/ to /u/, such as Metro Manila speakers) or (L2 speakers of Tagalog whose L1 is a Philippine language with 3 vowels, e.g. ], ], or others). Few, if any L1 Tagalog speakers would actually pronounce it as . Zero is the English spelling, whereas Sero is the older spelling. "Z" is not a letter in the Tagalog alphabet and was added in the last thirty years to the "Filipino" alphabet. The concept of zero could not have entered the culture before Spanish colonial times, because it is a loanword not only in Tagalog but in every Filipino language. In all likelihood Proto-Austronesian culture had a base five system, as every ] has a cognate with the words 1-5, but only 1-10 in the ].] (]) 23:27, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

==Inaccurate Citation of Facts==
''Mga Bansang may Higit Isang Milyong Mananalita'' or countries with more than 1 Million Tagalog speakers. Enumerated primarily are countries of the Philippines and the United States. A Filipino and ''Tagalog-Maneleno'' myself, it will not require me any academic degree to say with authority that there is no population study that will confirm validity of the figure cited. There can never be 1 Million Tagalog speakers in the United States. Likewise, the claim that there are 100 Million Tagalog speakers all over the world is similarly inaccurate and no amount of citation or reference can the contributor cite to make the math realistic. Latest and most recent census study places 85 Million the population of the Philippines. Only Filipinos speak tagalog (though only a portion). For Tagalog speakers in other countries, they are by origin Filipinos. If Tagalog for example is spoken in Japan, it to be 100% understood that the one so speaking is a Filipino and can never be a Japanese national unless perhaps married with a Filipino (but still with a Filipino link). Point here is that no figure or number can be added from that population of 85 million of which only a third speaks Tagalog that can be categorized as Tagalog speakers. Note also that the claim that Tagalog is spoken in other countries is likewise a baseless citation. As said, other than Filipinos themselves, Tagalog cannot be spoken in France of Germany for example. That is, contributor is likewise advised to extend a little further study and research on Filipino language and dialects not to mix-up Filipino as a language and Tagalog and other regional vernacular as dialects. There is a significant distinguishing difference between what is a language and a dialect. Correction need likewise be made on the claim that Tagalog is spoken in the Southern Marianas Islands.

Yes the ACS (American Community Survey) says 1,480,000 , almost all in Washington State and California. I would argue that the data is still slightly spurious however, as the majority of Filipino Immigrants are not L1 speakers of Tagalog, and other Philippine languages which have a large presence (maybe even larger than Tagalog from my experience) in Filipino communities such as the ] were not even on the survey but were innacurately lumped in as "Other Pacific Islander Languages". Many families probably wrote down that they speak "Tagalog" on the survey because it is a prestige language, but actually speak another language at home. The data itself states 1,480,000 so I would agree with he preceding comment as this is the only data we have.] (]) 23:40, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

It is rhotic in American and Canadian English, but non-rhotic in many dialects of UK English, and some New England Dialects of English (e.g. Bostonian English). The reason the article uses "forty" (depending on the dialect) is because almost all dialects of English pronounce "o" as /ɔ/ or /oʊ/ when occuring next to a historically rhotic-liquid, but with varying pronunciations elsewhere. For example "on": Lowland Scots , UK Recieved Pronuncation , East Cost American English and Canadian English , West Coast American English , Southern American English .

What is the use of the accents?

::Looking over the closer's comments above, it's clear that he had no idea what he was talking about.

== Move wars ==

I have not followed or participated in the discussions above about moving this article between the names ''Tagalog'' and ''Tagalog language'', but I took a quick look at the situation after caught my eye. What I see is:
*On this talk page, a discussion re a requested move ''Tagalog language'' → ''Tagalog'' took place between 18 and 21 June 2015 at ], and was closed on 26 June with a result of "'''move'''".
*A related discussion re a requested move ''Tagalog (disambiguation)'' → ''Tagalog'' took place at ] betweeen 30 June and 14 July, and was closed on 15 July with a result of "''' no consensus'''. What a mess."
*On this talk page, a discussion re both of the above took place between 5 and 9 July at ], and was closed on closed on 9 july as '''Procedurally closed as not (yet?) relevant'''.
*On 26 June a move was made: 14:03, June 26, 2015 Number 57 (talk | contribs | block) moved page Tagalog language to Tagalog (Per WP:RM on talk page)
*On 5 July a move was made: 05:52, July 5, 2015 Kwamikagami (talk | contribs | block) moved page Tagalog to Tagalog language over redirect (per NCLANG, consistency, and longstanding consensus).
*On 6 July a move was made: 14:23, July 6, 2015 BD2412 (talk | contribs | block) moved page Tagalog (disambiguation) to Tagalog (WP:MALPLACED)
*On 8 July a move was made: 21:46, July 8, 2015 Red Slash (talk | contribs | block) moved page Tagalog to Tagalog (disambiguation) over redirect (fixing outright vandalism)
*On 9 July a move was made: 01:49, July 9, 2015 BD2412 (talk | contribs | block) moved page Tagalog language to Tagalog (WP:RM closed out of process due to page moves; restoring status quo ante.)
*On 23 July a move was made: 05:39, July 23, 2015 Kwamikagami (talk | contribs | block) moved page Tagalog to Tagalog language over redirect (rv. move against recent closed move request)
*On 23 July a move was made: 13:54, July 23, 2015 Jenks24 (talk | contribs | block) moved page Tagalog language to Tagalog (restoring RM consensus)

Some of this is probably related to move discussions on ] and the move
*On 29 June a move was made: 13:22, June 29, 2015 Cuchullain (talk | contribs | block) moved page Tagalog people to Tagalogs (Per move discussion)

Guys, please settle down.

I haven't been involved in the discussions or the moves, but my own inclination would be to pay attention to the ] policy page where it says under ]
{{quotation|Usually, titles should be precise enough to unambiguously define the topical scope of the article, but no more precise than that.}}
and
{{quotation|Exceptions to the precision criterion may sometimes result from the application of some other naming criteria. Most of these exceptions are described in specific Misplaced Pages guidelines or by Misplaced Pages projects, ...}}
which would lead me to ], where it says
{{quotation|Most language articles should be on a page titled '''XXX language'''. Reasons for this recommendation:
#Ambiguity. While some language have special forms that refer unambiguously to the language, English is inherently ambiguous about language names. Having a standard of "XXX language" ensures that it's always unambiguous. There is always the possibility of "XXX literature", "XXX grammar", but these cannot be referred to simply as "XXX", and so are not a reason for disambiguation.
#Precedent. This is how Encyclopædia Britannica and many other English-language encyclopedias name their articles.}}

::::::Actually, there is no such trend, quiet or otherwise. In the majority of these cases, there is no associated ethnic group. Volapuk, Esperanto, and Interlingua, for example, are constructed languages without any possibility of ambiguity since no ethnic group was invented with the language. Old Church Slavonic and Standard Tibetan are also not associated with any particular ethnic group because of the necessary modifiers. Pali and Sanskrit are terms associated with religious speech forms and they are also not tied to any ethnicity. Nynorsk and Bokmal, too, have no corresponding ethnic labels. People who speak Afrikaans and Haitian Creole are known in English as Afrikaaners and Haitians, so there is no ambiguous reference between language and ethnicity.

There is no "quiet trend" here, just an application of the guideline to languages that have no corresponding ethnicity and therefore no possibility for ambiguity.

*'''Oppose''' and '''speedy close''' as far too soon. The confusing move requests and move warring has made it more difficult to determine the primary topic based on page views, but the evidence supports the language easily being primary. In the last 30 days, the two locations of the language article have been viewed several times more than the locations of the article on the Tagalog people. ] has been viewed times, and ] has been viewed .

:::This whole issue of Primary Topic being argued by the "Oppose" supporters shows clearly and unequivocally that they do not understand the meaning of "Primary Topic".

Saying Baybayin is historical in usage is misinformation. Baybayin is not yet institutionalized, but the script is still widely used nowadays.

:This is a classic example of a group of editors speedily moving an article away from a long-standing, consensus-based, and policy-supported name and then demanding a pause for the "dust to settle" before returning to the prior title.

Move the article, then have a pause while the rebellious editors try to prove their point. --] (]) 18:09, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Baybayin in the modern usage

Saying Baybayin is historical in usage is misinformation. Baybayin is not yet institutionalized, but the script is still widely used nowadays. You can see the usage of Baybayin via its utilization in commercial products, an increase in artistic use and appreciation, and its recontextualization as a symbol of Filipino identity.
