Tagalog (Filipino native language)

 

Being the language lovers that we are... A place to talk about, or write in languages other than Spanish and English.

When somebody says that to you, you reply:

Katorse anyos lang ako. (I am only 14 years old]

Bata pa ako. [I am still young]

indeed. tagalog contains words adapted from spanish. it was only 60 years ago that tagalog was officially declared as a national language. prior to that, the official languages were spanish and english. at present, in a casual conversation, one often hears filipinos speaking their native language blended with spanish and english.
