The Tagalog Language
- Tagalog is natively known as Tagalog / Filipino and belongs to the Austronesian, Malayo-Polynesian, Philippine, Central Philippine language family.
- There are approximately 28 million native Tagalog, 82 million Filipino speakers worldwide.
- Tagalog forms the basis of Filipino, the national language of the Philippines, though Filipino also incorporates elements from other Philippine languages.
- The Philippines is one of the most linguistically diverse countries in the world, with over 180 languages, but Tagalog/Filipino serves as the lingua franca.
- Tagalog originally used the Baybayin script, an ancient writing system derived from Indian Brahmi scripts, before Spanish colonisation introduced the Latin alphabet.
- The language has borrowed extensively from Spanish (due to over 300 years of colonial rule), English, Malay, Sanskrit, and Chinese.
- The Tagalog verb system uses an elaborate focus system with affixes that indicate the semantic role of the topic (actor, object, location, beneficiary, instrument).
- The Filipino community is one of the largest migrant communities in Australia, with over 310,000 Filipino-born residents as of 2021. Concentrated in Sydney (Blacktown, Liverpool), Melbourne (Dandenong, Casey), Darwin, and regional areas, Filipinos are among the top source countries for skilled and family migration. The community is well-organised with numerous cultural, religious, and professional associations.
