Just one part of our Translation Quality model.

Did you know?

While the Tagalog language has existed for several years the country adopted the more common name, Filipino, to help with the acceptance of the actual language among other Filipino individuals.

The Tagalog language has its origins from before the 16th century Spanish conquest of the islands. Since there are no surviving written samples of Tagalog before the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century, some say the all the written texts were burned by the Spanish priest saying it is demonic. It seems that the Tagalog tribes originated about the same time as the Northeastern Mindanao and Eastern Visayas. The first book in the historical Tagalog language was written in 1593. With the coming of the Spanish many of the grammar and dictionaries changed to include more Spanish words or changes in the language.

Today the language that is spoken as Tagalog has been modified by the inclusion of words from other existing Philippine languages to give it a broader use. The Baybayin Alphabet depicts the actual written words of the Tagalog. While it has changed over the course of history to have a Latin alphabet as well there are still some notable features to consider.
