Welcome to the Tagalog General Discussion! This is where we discuss everything related to the Tagalog language, including, but not limited to:
-asking specific questions about Tagalog vocabulary and grammar (people who can speak Tagalog fluently can help answer others' questions)
-recommendations for Tagalog dictionaries, websites, etc
-and everything else about the beautiful langauge of the Philippines! 3nodding
Please note that although speaking in Tagalog is allowed here, it is not mandatory.
Let's start off with a few facts about the Tagalog language:
Spoken in: Philippines
Total number of speakers: 72 million
Language Family: Austronesian (along with Hawaiian and Indonesian)
Regulated by: Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (Commission on the Filipino Language)

Tagalog sounds similar to Indonesian (Indo's my most fluent second language). I can't actually pick out any words exactly the same, but the overall sound of it is similar. Can anyone teach me some basic grammar and vocabulary of Tagalog? If it's in the same family as Indonesian, I might be able to learn it with more ease than some of my other studied languages.

Same to me! Lets say i can speak fluently tagalog but not really good at it! I have some indo and malay friends who speaks bahasa and i could catch some of those words!! like mahalan, murahan and so on!!! really interested in learning bahasa also

My mom's a Filipina, she's forgotten a lot of Tagalog since she doesn't really use it anymore, though.. I want to eventually learn more in Filipino than "I love you" and "Do you like animals?" XP
