Yeah our great great great grand parents spoke Spanish in their time and our great great grandparents spoke English in their time during Americans and our great grandparents spoke Japs in their time 😂 and maybe all Filipinos spoke Tagalog when to plot strategies against them 😂

Galing!!

Graduated in 2001. And now they have Tagalog at my high school in Vancouver! Sir Charles tupper secondary school. Like 20 years later. I should apply and just show up and see what they say lol

Your motive to learning the language is that you’ll understand what your wife says behind your back instead of making it easier to communicate with each other. Toxic masculinity at its finest

English spoken in other countries are its own "English dialect"..

Hello Yahya, "neutral but Americanized" lol. It cannot be both, I respectfull disagree. Like saying pure water has a neutral ph but its ph is 7.1 or 6.9. If what you mean "neutral" is easily understandable or intelligible by other English dialect speakers, I completely agree with you. That's the reason Filipino call centers have taken over from Indian ones. Filipino English dialect is far more understandable than Indian English dialect. Most likely cheaper and equally understandable.

@@yootoober2009 Agreed. Just like the video upload is saying. Cheers

@Francis Santos Hi, maybe my comment was unclear, but neutral americanised accent does exist. A general American accent, a filipino doesn't speak like someone from Colorado or Texas. We might not agree on this, but there are many websites talking about this topic. The accent is easy to understand this is why a number of US companies have outsourced their call centres in the Philippines 🇵🇭 to assist customers.

Very true!

Very accurate observation Billy. The local languages had adopted and/or adapted Spanish words before that Americans came. The process of language growth continued in 1898 to the present. What's your opinion on the language growth before the Spanish came to the Philippines?

Fascinating!

I know someone exactly like that. She’s 70 now and speaks English really well, she puts it down to the fact that when she grew up in the mountain province she spent a lot of time with the american missionaries!

"Taglish as you call it has been passe or archaic since 1987. In the 1987 Constitution and revamp of the National Language, Filipino, with the 1976 revision of the Filipino alphabet, foreign words and words from the other indigenous languages spoken locally are formally accepted into Filipino and taken "AS IS" or as colloquially spoken, spelled or used and considered as Filipino words - but not Tagalog words.. There is no formal or official Tagalog language. Tagalog dialects are spoken in Tagalog speaking provinces and Manila but are not taught in schools - except the Tagalog dialect spoken in Manila in 1935 which was the basis for the construction of the first Philippine National Language, PILIPINO.... Filipino is the 2nd Philippine National Language which supersedes PILIPINO...

That exactly is something that Korean actress never understand. She just love mocking Filipino english as if every Korean knows how to speaks and understand english 😂😂😂. She have never even thought of her fellow citizen, just wanting to show off how good her english is...poor poor thing, she had just proven the world how stupid she is. While she may have a formal education or maybe special education learning english...the Filipinos who has not able to attend a formal school could actually speaks and understand english only by their surroundings, by tv's, radios, songs...etc...etc. Whoever teaches her forgot to teach her good manners and right conducts. My respects to other Koreans who might not be able to speak english that well but manages to learn on their own and still keeping their feet on the ground.

True!!! Like with Indians, they pronounce V as W and vice versa, and nobody raises an eyebrow coz they all know that's how they are so why can't it be the same with Filipinos?

I wish you also speak about Pilipinos’ WRITTEN English grammar; taking special notice to the proper spelling of words.

Thanks so much! That's very encouraging for me :)

Lol, cebuano hiligaynon waray, etc arent dialects, they are languages. Tagalog is not the only languages in the ph hahaha.

Regards kay Lonsky:)

I like it when you speak it

Thanks for sharing your observations

Central luzon tagalog is a bit different too.

Nakain ka ba ng kambing? ( have you been eaten by goat?) This is wrong tagalog.

@robert ballesteros gramatically, yes it is incorrect (in Filipino), but not in Tagalog. Speech is a language game. As long as the two parties conversing understand each other, there is no right or wrong as long as the message is sent across. I grew up in Batangas (deep Tagalog area). If it is incorrect, then allow me to plead for the case of millions of Tagalog speakers from Southern Tagalog area which apparently have that language as our mother tongue. So, are we incorrect all our lives? And we have a wider vocabulary of Tagalog words than anywhere else in the country. It is actually said as "nangangain ka ga ng kambing? / nakain ka ga ng kambing?" Or "nakain ka ng kambing?". Using "ba" with the Southern Tagalog variant form of the present tense of "kain" will be easily spotted by a local speaker and will sound pretentious or unnatural.

Everything you said explains why teaching/learning "Tagalog" cannot be done formally because grammatical rules are established and now taught only in Filipino, our National Language as established by the 1935 and 1987 Philippine Constitution to be taught in all educational levels from Primary to Tertiary level.. All other versions of spoken Tagalog are its own separate Tagalog dialects because the the 1935 Tagalog dialect (spoken in Manila in 1935) used as the basis for "constructing" the 1935 National Language called "Pilipino" is all but gone except what was retained in the 1987 version of Filipino. So, today we all speak our own versions of the 1987 National Language called Filipino but only if we actually learned it in schools, not anywhere else. Technically we are starting to establish our own Filipino dialects spoken in Canada, UK, and the US etc.. I was born in 1949 and learned Tagalog in San Pablo, Laguna and took mandatory Pilipino in High School and Filipino in college.

😆😆

Yes! It's good to learn the local language too!

😂

😂😂😂🤗❤️

cebuanos typically reply either in cebuano or english/bislish. we tend to loathe replying in tagalog/taglish. comes off being very OA

It is I agree, I’m not sure why so many people bash those who are trying to speak English or trying to improve their English skills in the province. They tease my nephew and he tells me they say he thinks he’s better than them because he’s talking to me in English. I always tell him, it’ll make him more attractive to employers either in the Philippines or abroad, if he perfects his English proficiency.

You can thank the way Filipino, the National Language, has been tailored by its creators to be taught and leaned in schools and in communities that speak their own local dialects... "On November 13, 1936, the Surian ng Wikang Pambansa (Institute of National Language) was established. It was mandated to choose which native Philippine language would be used as the basis for the national language." Today Filipino is spoken widely and in colloquial forms various forms that suit the local environments... col·lo·qui·al adjective (of language) used in ordinary or familiar conversation; not formal or literary. "colloquial and everyday language"

Cebuano and Visayan English sounds New Zealand's English

Interesting. I guess you’re lucky to have been taught by an Englishman. I’m very curious and I wish I can hear you speak.

@@mumumumumumumummm I have lived in the US for 30 years. I have lost the British accent.

@@enricocinco6557 I see.

@@mumumumumumumummm My accent now is neither particularly American., not British, nor Filipino. When I was living in New York, people often asked me where I got my accent. When I tell them where I ws born and educated, they would say Ithat I sound very different from Filipinos they met and worked with. When I went back to the Philippines, Filipinos would ask me if I was Filipino, and I said full blooded.

That's how a language, in this case English, develops its dialects. English spoken in California, Texas, and the Philippines are their own English dialects... di·a·lect noun a particular form of a language which is peculiar to a specific region or social group. "this novel is written in the dialect of Trinidad", or Houston or Jamaica...

I've heard Bulacan Tagalog is beautiful

Interesting insights thank you!

Aw thanks so much for the kind words!!

Phillipines English is a very sensitive its comes to grammar.

Good points! Thanks for watching!

Language not dialect

We should have Nate explain the differences of a dialect and a language :) for all the Filipinos 😛confused with the difference. As it seems like you might be one of them 😛

Only Filipinos who can't speak English think that a Philippine English exist. It is so tragic how an English speakling nation, the 2nd largest ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRY in the Universe have come to be so ignorant about their own culture and society. Taglish is not like Chinglish of Singapore or some other country. Because in the Philippines, Taglish is being frowned upon.

what do you mean by different loca dialects..? did you mean different local languages? examples of dialects are TAGALOG OF MANILA, is a little different from cavite, laguna, quezon, bulacan and batanggas... or a cebuanong binisaya is different from dumaguete or 95% of negros oriental, siquijor, parts of samar and leyte, and Mindanawong binisaya..those are called dialects..but if you did mean the likes of cebuano, hiligaynon, aklanon, kinaray-a, tausug, bagobo, t'boli, b'laan, higaunon, mansaka, bukidnon, tagbanwa, manobo, bicolano, ilokano, pangasinense, ..they are all local languages and not dialects

Aw thanks 🙏. That means a lot to me. I love the Philippines!!

Thanks for the very kind comments! I love Philippine languages!

Hola Señor Labawan. What do you mean by "studying vernacular as a whole"

⁶ 2:48

It is called pol·y·glot adjective knowing or using several languages. "New Orleans has always been a polyglot city" noun a person who knows and is able to use several languages. "Slovenians, being surrounded by many countries, are mostly polyglots"

Not so sure about the accents part. I know Filipinos in the USA, Canada and UK that have been there for years and still sound as bad as manny pacquiao. I used to work in the hospitals and there are soooo many Filipino nurses, that had thick accents. Of course over time you get used to what they are saying, and decipher what they are saying because there are also Indian doctors that sound worse 😅.

Aw salamat kaayo!

Yes that would be good to include!

Thank you!

Very interesting!

it's indicative as to how our own local dialects have not really grown to expand to cover new terms/ideas/technologies/etc. our native language has historically been more poetic and inefficient than versatile and technical to allow for growth in comparison to english that has grown exponentially to cover dizzying heights of new ideas/terms/technologies etc. english now has words like binary/nonbinary to diversify sexual identities, and even basic words like "friend" has more nuances in socmed use. what equivalents do we have in deep dialect for those without using a dozen of local words?

@@zilam98 Hello sir, aren't you glad the nuances, adaptations, adoptions, vitality of American English is freely available and accessible to Filipinos? Filipinos, for ages, have included foreign words to itself rather than inventing it for itself. That's true for all the languages on God's green earth. So, old English like old Tagalog etc are gone. New English, New Tagalog etc are here and it will certainly be new and different in the future.

I love that language!

Yey! Proud hiligaynon here from Negros Occ ☺️

I am cebuano but I love to know your dialect "hiligaynon" because it's nice to hear them speak/talk so hinhin eventhough they are angry. and yes it's true we, cebuanos seems angry when we talk even when we are not😅 I have friend from Iloilo and I love listening to her when she speaks/talks your dialect.

It's the best!!

Manuel L. Quezon decided that the First National Language is needed to have a single language based on one of the local languages spoken in the Philippines in the First Philippine Constitution of 1935 - not American Democracy per se... And of the many languages we had, the Tagalog dialect spoken in Manila in 1935 was found by the "Surian Ng Wika" as the most developed of all in written grammar, alphabet and arts so it was mandated in the Constitution of 1935 to be developed, and taught in all education levels and will be called PILIPINO.. not TAGALOG... The 1987 Constitutional revision changed PILIPINO to FILIPINO along with changes in the old 20 character alphabet to the 26 character alphabet we know today...

@@yootoober2009 Thank you for your articulate explanation, sir, about the political creation of "Filipino" as a language. I don't dispute the importance of that decision to make Manila Tagalog dialect the official lingua franca of the emerging nation alongside English and Spanish. To the majority of Filipinos outside of Tagalog speakers, all 3 are foreign languages. Even today. Btw Ilocano and Cebuano were also lingua franca in their respective regions. Today, speaking "Filipino" is just as confusing as saying as "speaking Chinese" or even "speaking American" or speaking European. The video is about English languages and dialects, sir, by a linguist. "Filipino" is a nationality but not a language as "Chinese" is a nationality but not linguistically a language. My top post also explains the acceptance of Tagalog, alongside English, as one unifying factor of the Philippines as a nation. If you want to continue the charade of Filipino as a language, you can go ahead, sir, be my guest. Just don't defend your opinion to a linguist or a language enthusiast. Cheers.

A common misconception. FREE public education in the Philippines already existed since the mid-1800s (though only for primary and secondary education). It's one of the reasons for the rise of the "ilustrados" (educated) class in the late 1800s in the first place. Private schools servicing both Spaniards and the native aristocracy (the "principalia") existed even earlier. The University of Santo Tomas itself is one such school, having been founded in 1611. There are even earlier schools than that, but they didn't survive into modern times. Same thing with public infrastructure. The Spanish built hospitals, roads, ports, lighthouses, bridges, plazas, churches, watchtowers (against pirates), etc. for the natives. A lot of which still survive to this day (a lot were destroyed in World War 2, however). Things like highways, electricity, and the first tram and train systems, were introduced during the Spanish era, not the American period. The Spanish ethos of colonization was assimilation. In contrast to the other colonial powers who only wanted resources but ignored the natives. It's the reason why the Philippines is majority Catholic and so heavily Hispanized, in contrast to the former colonies of Portugal, France, Britain, Germany, Italy, etc. which retained their native beliefs and cultures. The US didn't introduce public education. They merely changed the language of instruction from Spanish to English, then changed the curriculum. They did continue to build more schools though, in areas that the Spanish didn't formerly control, like in the Cordillera highlands, where the American influence to this day remains more distinct (more American Protestants for example) in comparison to the Hispanized Catholic lowlands. There also wasn't a vacuum for a unifying language before the Americans. Spanish WAS the lingua franca of the Philippines. We even have our own dialect for it: Philippine Spanish (which itself is distinct from other Spanish dialects), which is sadly already endangered. It wasn't restricted to the Spaniards. Though it was largely only spoken by the principalia (the descendants of former royal and noble lineages in various ethnic groups, often intermarrying with Spanish and Chinese mestizos, distinguishable from everyone else because they had native last names). You'd realize this easily enough in the fact that Jose Rizal's books were all in Spanish. Newspapers were in Spanish. Letters were in Spanish. Signs were in Spanish. Official documents were in Spanish. Catholic masses were in Spanish. Tagalog back then was only a local language. Tagalog and English weren't introduced because there was no lingua franca. They were introduced as a way to wean the Philippines from Spanish influence, subtly changing the historical context in school textbooks to be more favorable to Americans. Because the early years of American colonization was turbulent. I mean, there was a literal Philippine-American War for the first ten years. The lessons in schools painted the American colonization in a more favorable light, giving birth to numerous misconceptions about Spanish rule that even survive into modern times. For a time, Americans even tried to say that they needed to colonize the Philippines in order to "Christianize" and "Civilize" it, which is kind of funny considering that even back then, 90% of Filipinos were already Christian. Filipino was originally envisioned to be a hybrid language, with Tagalog only retained for the base grammar. But due to the inaction by the language commission, it instead continued to be Tagalog in reality, with only half-hearted attempts to introduce non-Tagalog words into it from other Philippine languages. Early attempts to promote Tagalog also damaged proficiency in other local languages, which were often neglected or pushed aside and treated as "lesser" languages. It's better in the modern curriculum which gives equal importance to local languages, thus preserving them, in light of the fact that for the vast majority of Filipinos, Tagalog is NOT their native language.

@@AngryKittens Thank you for your excellent essay of Philippine history. It is but natural that the colonizing power (US) brought their own language, systems etc etc to their new possession. You do admit that the US "built more schools". Tagalog was decided by Filipinos of that period as a local language for the country. There is no way a bureaucracy can create a new language by decree or combining local languages to create a new one. In any case, there were 2 choices of language in which to pursue higher education. My opinion is we are fortunate English is part of our culture now. Our democratic traditions, in my opinion, is far better than in Latin America where they went thru periods of dictatorships and military rule. Marcos Sr. was an exception . Otherwise peaceful transfer of power has always been the norm. Cheers.

But English language came from England so the pronunciation from England should be the basis of all.

Thanks for your lengthy contribution to the conversation!!

@@midknight5812 True. But it doesn't always happen that way. For example, the parent language of both Tagalog and Bisaya was the ancient language of the island of Marinduque. The Eastern language eventually became Bisaya, and the Western language eventually became Tagalog. On the Tagalog side, they migrated later to what we know today as Batangas, and kept near rivers hence “Tagalog” or “Taga ilog” (from rivers). Today, the predominant pronunciation of Tagalog is Manila Tagalog, but its origin was not in Manila. To this day, Marinduque Tagalog (Marindukenyo) is the closest Tagalog to the original, they still have rules and sentence construction that already disappeared even from Batangas Tagalog (Batangenyo). And today, if we compare the different English variations around the world, Philippine English is the only one that's clear in pronunciation, I'm not saying it's perfect. But there's no doubt about it if we compare it to Australian, American, British, Irish, Indian, and even Afrikaan English. ^_^

@YourOnlyONEofcl true, but do you think that pronouncing v to b is correct? Just like what Nate made as an example. From Victor to Bictor, or the word "ewan ko", means I don't know, but bisaya pronounce it as "iwan ko". Interchanging e to i , f to p, and many more. There is always a straight line there as a basis of pronunciation.

Using metric and US units of measurements confuses me.

Can i ask a question?? How does hiligaynon and ilonggo differ from each other??

Hiligaynon is the language ilonggo/ilongga is the citizen that lives in Iloilo. I am hiligaynon as well but i am a capizeña 😊

Add Chavacano or chavakano....

Accents are the product of living in different communities.. Not all Americans have the same accents - California, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Idaho, New York, Massachusetts and Florida will all have different American accents due to local influences... French, German, Italians, Spanish, Cuban, Mexican have all different effects on local (English) dialects... then you have Canada, Australia, Ireland, England and the whole of Europe speaking English with different accents... English spoken in other countries will have different accents and vocabulary...

yes, we mastered conversion because for example some construction materials are measured in English system while the building plan is i metric system..

😂😂 yes A’tin here

Bicolano is awesome. It would be cool to visit that region as well

Thank you!!

Very interesting thanks!!

English no matter where spoken or who speaks it must follow the basic (American) English grammatical rules as taught in schools as the minimum, verb-subject agreement, tense and use of personal pronouns.. Why do we talk about dead people in the present tense? Why do we say He sing good... Why do we say Open the light Nothing "Elitist" about correct grammar. We can be "barok" in Filipino but try not to be in English.

It is very interesting yes!

Where did you learn your "Tagalog" dialect from and how?

Ilonggo isn’t the dialect, the dialect is hiligaynon. Ilonggo/Ilonggos is/are the local/locals of Iloilo

You probably speak Filipino and not Tagalog, unless you were born and raised in one of the Tagalog-speaking provinces or communities from those provinces or grew up in Manila in 1935... But I would guess you learned "Tagalog" in school so in that case Filipino is what you speak...
