I am a proud Filipino and our language is Tagalog. Definitely, we can not use our language when we make posts and discussions here in Mylot because many of friends and mylotter will not be able to understand and I think it's prohibited by the admin. How about if a send a PM to a fellow mylotter who is also a Filipino, can we use our own language when we converse?

Thanks visavis! Yeah, it's really got to be private 'cause it's a personal message. :)

I think you can because pms are for private messages that you do not want anyone else except the one getting the message to get. And it would be easier especially if his English is not as good as yours even if the private message is not about something that is extremely personal.

Since it is a private message , I assume you can. Contact My Lot and make sure.

xsparky017 Of course you can as private messages are indeed
private. Oddly as an American for a moment I thought but why
not use English then i thought well I am are a proud American
and proud to use English as my native language so this filipino speaks Tagalong and she or he is proud to speak it so of course its okay to use it for a fellow Filipino too.Its just that sometimes when I see people singling out others of their own race here I am wondering since you have to use
English here as mandated by the mylot admins, why not cultivate some of us Americans too, what are we chopped liver? Much as its very common for people of any race to stick to their own race yet since this is a place for using English its good practice to cultivate people who are not from your race,we are all nice people too. If some races do not want to mingle at all then find a site thats only for those races. we are a social network meaning we are from all over the world and heres a chance to meet all of us.

I have not read anywhere that PM can be in a language other than English. Though PM is a private message, it must also be subject to scrutiny for various security reasons. Whatever we write in mylot is available for others to see. But I found a few of our friends have told that PM can be in Phil language. Admin will be able to clarify on this point.
