What is the language speaks in Philiphines ?

hello there... its good to hear that you are interested to know somethings about our country...and good to know those things about India. well here in the Philippines our official national language is Filipino (tagalog)...but we still have so many dialects that are used in different regions...we have Cebuano, Ilonggo, Kapampangan, and many others...i think we have about 170 dialects used here...but of course i don't know all of those dialects! hehehe i just know the Tagalog, Cebuano and English... we also use english here... you can refer here for more info about the dialects and languages in the Philippines... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_the_Philippines and hope this can help... have a nice day! :-)

hi mdvarghese! well there are around 170 languages in the philippine archipelago. each region has different native dialects. there are 2 major languages, a few major dialects and some minor dialects. the 2 major languages that we use here in the philippines is cebuano and tagalog. the dialect that majority of filipinos use is cebuano. the philippines has 3 major islands: luzon, visayas, and mindanao. in the two major islands visayas and mindanao, majority speak cebuano (bisaya). and majority of luzon speak tagalog. that's why bisaya is the most spoken language. however, our national language is tagalog. some call the language filipino however 100% of the language comes from the tagalog dialect. so even if you call it filipino or tagalog doesn't really matter. they both sound the same. well, i hope this helps! happy mylotting!

hello, thanks for your interest in our country. We have two official languages, Tagalog (Filipino)and English. But our national laws, documents and other official and formal conversation, communication and written rules, we used English, school instructions are all in English, American standard. We are also adopting American educational system. But Philippines has more than 50 dialects spoken in different provinces with different accent too. I can speak at least 5 dialects fluently but most Filipino, especially those residing in the city, couldn't speak dialects widely spoken in the province, I grew up in the province that's why I am familiar with different dialects. I understand India is using a British English which is fascinating. I really want to know the British English because I love Great Britain.hehehe. I love everything about the British monarchy. India is such a wonderful country, I want to learn more about your nation.

India and Philippines are just the same in terms of using different local languages. Although India is really a big country unlike Philippines, we do speak Tagalog as Filipinos, whether you are from the north or the south, east or western part of the region, our fellow countrymen can speak and understand Tagalog. In India they have lots of local languages like Tamil,Telugu, Konkani, Bengali, Marathi and so much more. In Philippines, we have local languages like Ilokano, Bisaya, Kapampangan, Chabacano and so much more. But English is our Second Language. Even if most people aren't fluent in speaking, they do understand when you speak in English, and we will try to reply back, be it in a crooked way, as long as we do know how to reply and express back. Unlike in India, a lot of people don't speak English when you talk to them. I used to buy in local stores near our place, since I don't know how to speak in Hindi, i would speak in English, and most vendors just speak their own language, so I would just smile back and bid bye since we will not understand each other.

hello there my indian fellow. tagalog is the national language for the philippines but like india we also have different langugages based on the location. i have been to india and im very much familiar with what are u saying, although im not yet fluent with hindi i really wanted to learn it so that i can communicate also once i go back there. wish u can also help me out. thanks:-)

Here in our country, we basically speak our own dialect, like the other respondent mentioned here, in most regions/parts of the country uses different language. Just like in ur own too, India is a vast land, and has different dialects in every part. Tagalog is the official language, though not all Filipinos use it on a daily basis, like Hindi, some dont even know how to speak in Tagalog(not even close tothe total population here i guess). English is considered our second official language, but as i see it now, it has become the primary language too, coz it is widely used. YOu have the edge when u know how to speak well in English esp when u look for a job. Search online just incase u may drop by our country, search the particular area/region u may be visiting someday too, it helps to know also to widen ur perspective about countries such as ours. Thanks for ur interest in our country, mdvarghese. Have a blessed day!

don't tell that people from the mountain can't speak tagalog... even thou theirs no TV or radio... they still learn it from school... kaya pls wag niyong maliitin ang mga natives or ang mga taga bundok....

Tagalogis our national language here.. we had lack of dialects but most of us comprehends and speak english well.. we may have a little problem in our grammar but the mean is understandable..

Hi there, mdvarghese. The official language in the Philippines is Filipino. English is also widely spoken here, being the medium of instruction in many schools. We have many dialects. I think every region has its own dialect. Within each dialect are still variations of that dialect, usually depending on the district that you belong to. At home we usually use our local dialects in conversations.

I am from the Philippines and since we have 7107 islands, there are lots of languages available here in our country. However, our main language is what we call Tagalog. =D

The Philippines official language is Tagalog... But every province has own dialects. The best tagalog speakers would be the people from the province of bulacan. They really use the native tagalog tongue. Its good your are interested in the philippines, you should come visit our country as well.

There are so many different Languages here Spoken in each every Island. Our Official language is Filipino but not in one language but with different variety of language, in here Tagalog is known to be basic language being spoken by most Filipinos. even though they have other dialects like Visaya and Mindanao Dialect..even in Luzon there are other dialecs there like Pampangeneo, Pangasinan, Ilocano, Bikolano and more...

a lot of language you can speak when you are in the philippines, most likely are tagalog, kapampangan cebuano, ilocano, bicolano.. and many more

Although your question has been answered, I'd still say it's Filipino, commonly known as Tagalog.

Namaste. Hello from the Philippines The Philippines' national language is Filipino or mostly known as Tagalog. Our country has 80 different dialects throughout the country as there are many ethnic groups here and separated by water since its an archipelago, a group of 7,107 islands in total.

Philippine languages tend to be referred to by Filipinos as dialects.
