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.
About Tia
Tia, (pronounced ‘tie ah’) is a settlement and parish located approximately 30 kilometres east of Walcha, on the Northern Tablelands region of New South Wales, Australia. Tia River Station was first settled by Richard and William Denne in 1840, then comprising an area of 100 square miles (260 km2). It was later purchased by Augustus Hooke in 1882. It was on this station that Blue Spec, a brown stallion foaled in 1899, was bred and who later won the Kalgoorlie Cup, Perth Cup and the 1905 Melbourne Cup in record time. The first gold mining activity was recorded at Tia in l866. In 1873 a reef was discovered at McLeod’s Creek, when a rush occurred.
