History

On November 13, 1936, the Surian ng Wikang Pambansa (National Language Institute) selected Tagalog as the basis of a Wikang Pambansâ (national language) based on the following factors:[3]

  1. Tagalog is widely spoken and is the language most understood in all the regions of the Philippines. Events 1002 - English king Ethelred orders the killing of all Danes in England, known today as the St Year 1936 ( MCMXXXVI) was a Leap year starting on Wednesday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. The Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino ( Commission on the Filipino Language in English, Komisyon sa Pinulongang Filipino in Cebuano, Pagpannakabagian Tagalog is one of the major languages used in the Philippines. Tagalog is one of the major languages used in the Philippines.
  2. It is not divided into smaller, separate languages as Visayan is. The Visayan languages of the Philippines, along with Tagalog and Bikol, are part of the Central Philippine language family
  3. Its literary tradition is the richest and the most developed and extensive (mirroring that of the Tuscan dialect of Italian). The Tuscan Dialect ( dialetto toscano) or the Tuscan Language ( lingua toscana) is an Italian dialect spoken in Italian ( or lingua italiana) is a Romance language spoken by about 63 million people as a First language, primarily in Italy. More books are written in Tagalog than in any other autochthonous Philippine language. An indigenous language or autochthonous language is a Language that is native to a region and spoken by Indigenous peoples but has been reduced
  4. Tagalog has always been the language of Manila - the political and economic capital of the Philippines under both Spanish and American rulers. The City of Manila
  5. Tagalog is the language of the Revolution and the Katipunan—two very important incidents in Philippine history. This article is about a late 19th-century revolution For a late 20th-century event also referred to as Philippine Revolution see People Power Revolution. The Katipunan was a Philippine revolutionary organization founded by Filipino rebels in Manila, in 1892 which aimed to gain independence from Spain.

In 1959, the language became known as Pilipino to dissociate it from the Tagalog ethnic group. The year 1959 ( MCMLIX) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. The Tagalog people ( Tgl: Tagalog) is the second largest Filipino ethnolinguistic group. [4]

Later, the 1973 Constitution provided for a separate national language to replace Pilipino, a language which it named Filipino. The Constitution of the Philippines ( Saligang Batas ng Pilipinas in Filipino) is the supreme Law of the Philippines The pertinent article, though, Article XV, Section 3(2), mentions neither Tagalog nor Pilipino as the basis for Filipino, instead calling on the National Assembly to:

take steps towards the development and formal adoption of a common national language to be known as Filipino.

In 1987, the new Constitution introduced many provisions for the language. The Constitution of the Philippines ( Saligang Batas ng Pilipinas in Filipino) is the supreme Law of the Philippines [5] Article XIV, Section 6, omits any mention of Tagalog as the basis for Filipino, and states that:

as [Filipino] evolves, it shall be further developed and enriched on the basis of existing Philippine and other languages.

Meanwhile, Article XIV, Section 7 states that:

Subject to provisions of law and as the Congress may deem appropriate, the Government shall take steps to initiate and sustain the use of Filipino as a medium of official communication and as language of instruction in the educational system.

and:

The regional languages are the auxiliary official languages in the regions and shall serve as auxiliary media of instruction therein.

Republic Act No. 7104, approved on August 14, 1991, created the Commission on the Filipino Language, reporting directly to the President and tasked to undertake, coordinate and promote researches for the development, propagation and preservation of Filipino and other Philippine languages. Events 1183 - Taira no Munemori and the Taira clan take the young Emperor Antoku and the three sacred treasures Year 1991 ( MCMXCI) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian Calendar. [6] On May 13, 1992, the commission issued a resolution specifying that Filipino is the

indigenous written and spoken language of Metro Manila and other urban centers in the Philippines used as the language of communication of ethnic groups. Events 1497 - Pope Alexander VI excommunicates Girolamo Savonarola. Year 1992 ( MCMXCII) was a Leap year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1992 Gregorian calendar) Metropolitan Manila ( Filipino: Kalakhang Maynila, Kamaynilaan) or the National Capital Region (NCR ( Filipino: Pambansang A city ( lungsod, or sometimes siyudad, in Filipino and Tagalog) is a tier of local government in the Philippines The various ethnic groups in the Philippines identify themselves based on one or several factors most popularly by parental lineage and Language. [7]

However, as with the 1973 and 1987 Constitutions, the resolution did not go so far as to categorically identify this language as Tagalog.

Filipino was presented and registered with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and was added to the ISO registry of languages on September 21, 2004 with it receiving the ISO 639-2 code fil. Events 1217 - The Estonian tribal leader Lembitu of Lehola was killed in a battle against Teutonic Knights. "MMIV" redirects here For the Modest Mouse album see " Baron von Bullshit Rides Again " ISO 639 has five code lists The following is a complete list of ISO 639-2 codes including the corresponding ISO 639-1 codes where they exist [8] In June 2007, Ricardo Maria Nolasco, Chair of the Commission on the Filipino Language, acknowledged that Filipino was simply Tagalog in syntax and grammar, with yet no grammatical element or lexicon coming from Ilocano, Cebuano, Hiligaynon, or any of the other Philippine languages. June 2007 is the sixth month of that year It began on a Friday and 30 days later ended on a Saturday.

In Philippines there are over 170 languages almost all of them belong to the Austronesian language family. [9] Furthermore, on August 24, 2007, Dr. Nolasco elaborated further on the relationship between Tagalog and Filipino:

Are "Tagalog," "Pilipino" and "Filipino" different languages? No, they are mutually intelligible varieties, and therefore belong to one language. According to the KWF, Filipino is that speech variety spoken in Metro Manila and other urban centers where different ethnic groups meet. It is the most prestigious variety of Tagalog and the language used by the national mass media.

The other yardstick for distinguishing a language from a dialect is: different grammar, different language. "Filipino", "Pilipino" and "Tagalog" share identical grammar. They have the same determiners (ang, ng and sa); the same personal pronouns (siya, ako, niya, kanila, etc); the same demonstrative pronouns (ito, iyan, doon, etc); the same linkers (na, at and ay); the same particles (na and pa); and the same verbal affixes -in, -an, i- and -um-. In short, same grammar, same language. [10]

On August 22, 2007, three Malolos City regional trial courts in Bulacan decided to use Filipino, instead of English, in order to promote the national language.

Classification

Filipino is considered by Ethnologue to be a variant of Tagalog, a Central Philippine language within the Malayo-Polynesian branch of the Austronesian language family. Ethnologue Languages of the World is a web and print publication of SIL International (formerly known as the Summer Institute of Linguistics a Christian The Central Philippine languages are spoken in the Philippines. The Malayo-Polynesian languages are a subgroup of the Austronesian languages, with approximately 351 million speakers [12] In practical terms, however, Filipino is a synonym for or the formal name of the Tagalog language, especially as used by non-Tagalogs, who may sometimes refuse to refer to their language as Tagalog. This article deals with the general meaning of the term "synonym" The Tagalog people ( Tgl: Tagalog) is the second largest Filipino ethnolinguistic group. [13]

One famous event where the definition between Filipino and Tagalog is challenged was during the impeachment trial of the former president, Joseph Estrada. The President of the Philippines is the head of state and government of the Republic of the Philippines. Jose Marcelo Ejercito (born on April 19, 1937) better known as Joseph Ejercito Estrada, or Erap, is a Film actor in the Philippines When the presiding justice Hilario Davide asked in which language would the witness Emma Lim prefer to testify, Lim promptly answered "Tagalog", to which Davide promptly did not agree. Hilario G Davide Jr is the current Ambassador - Permanent Representative of the Permanent Mission of the Republic of the Philippines to the United According to Davide, nobody could testify in Tagalog because it is not the official language of the Philippines and there is no available interpreter from Tagalog to Filipino. However, the then President of the Senate, Franklin Drilon, sided on the oneness of the two languages saying that an interpreter will no longer be needed because everybody would understand the testimony in Tagalog. The Senate of the Philippines ( Filipino: Senádo ng Pilipínas) is the upper chamber of the bicameral Legislature of the Philippines, the Early life and career Drilon was born on November 28, 1945 in Iloilo City, Iloilo and is the eldest son of Cesar Drilon Sr
