About the Tagalog Language

Tagalog is an Austronesian language and it is native to the Philippines and to Tagalog people. There are around 22.5 million native speakers of the language and 23.8 total speakers. Standard Tagalog is known as Filipino and this is the language of the Philippines. Within the Philippine population, around 28% speak Tagalog as a native language. It is also spoken by Filipino ethnic groups in the US, Spain, France and China.

There seem to be four main dialect groups within the Tagalog language; Northern, Central, Southern and Marinduque. Within these groups there are the dialects of Manila, Lubang,  Bataan, Marinduque, Bulacan, Batangas, Tanay-Paete and Tayabas.

Tagalog is written with the Latin alphabet, which is also the alphabet used by other Philippines languages. Spanish orthography, using the Roman alphabet was used until the 20th century. The spelling of Tagalog is mainly phonetic.

The classification of Tagalog is a Central Phlippine language, which belongs to the Austronesian language family. It is related to other languages within the Austronesian family.
Early Tagalog was known as Old Tagalog and it originally came from the Proto-Philippine language. In the early days, Old Tagalog was written using the Baybayin system. Old Tagalog is used by regions of northern Philippines and Tondo and it comes from Austronesian people living in Philippines as long as 2000 years ago.

The standard form of Tagalog is Filipino and it is the standard for formal communications and media. It is the national language for the Phillippines. In standard Tagalog, the alphabet contains 28 letters.

There are 33 phonemes in Tagalog, made up with 19 consonants and 14 vowels. There are five long and short vowels, with four diphthongs. Stress is frequent within the language, with primary stress on the final or penultimate syllable. Primary or secondary stress also has vowel lengthening, with the exception of stress at the end of a word.
Tagalog grammar consists of adjectives, verbs, adverbs, pronouns, conjunctions, ligatures, prepositions, nouns and particles. It is a slightly inflected language, with pronouns inflected for numbers and verbs for aspect, voice and focus. Verbs are complex and take on a wide range of affixes.

Literature was mainly written in Baybayin during pre-colonial times. The literature was mainly poetry and personal tales, but after being discovered by Spanish missionaries, it was removed and there is unlikely to be any trace of these writings. The first religious literature was published in 1905 and it is the most prominent kind of literature written in Tagalog is religious text. The Bible was translated into modern Tagalog in 1970 and there are now several translations of the Bible circulating today.

Most words in Tagalog vocabulary is native Austronesian, mainly those which end with diphthongs and exhibit reduplication. Spanish and English loanwords are also part of Tagalog vocabulary, as well as Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and Persian. Since prehistoric times, the language has experienced influence from migrations. It doesn’t just go the one way though, English also has some loanwords which have been taken from the Tagalog vocabulary.
