	Filipino language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Filipino (formerly called Pilipino) is the national language and one of the official languages of the Philippines — along with English — as designated in the 1987 Philippine Constitution.
		The language, a member of the Austronesian languages, is a standardized dialect of Tagalog.
		Whether the Filipino language should be based on Tagalog is not stated, although a large number of people assumed that the Filipino language is the same as (or at least is based on) the Pilipino language, which was the national language at that time and was clearly defined to be based on Tagalog.

		Tagalog, as its standardized counterpart, Filipino, is the principal language of the national media in the Philippines.

	:: Welcome to Manila Bulletin Online ::
		Tagalog is just one of our native languages, while Filipino is a living and an evolving language that is based not only on one native language like Tagalog but on all our existing native languages including words commonly used by Filipinos coming from foreign languages.
		The former, meaning the 1973 Constitution, mandates the Batasan Pambansa to undertake the development of a national language that is based on all native languages while the 1987 Constitution makes a categorical statement that said language referring to Filipino and not Tagalog is already existing and evolving.
		Pursuant to our Constitution and the enabling act, the Commission on the Filipino Language is now undertaking, coordinating and promoting researches for the development, propagation, and preservation of our evolving national language that is based not on only one but on all existing native and other languages.

		A clear proof the cultural diversity of the Filipinos is the number of languages and dialects spoken in the Philippines, from Batanes in the North to Jolo in the South.
		This language diversity is one of the reasons why it took more than three centuries, after the arrival in the Philippines of the Europeans in the 16th century, for Filipinos to become a cohesive integrated national community.
		Initially, Tagalog (note: a dialect which was the lingua franca of Manila) was proposed as the national language but the non-Tagalog speakers, mainly from the Province of Cebu, objected and the word Tagalog was deleted and replaced by a phrase "one of the existing native languages".

	Making a Difference ::.
		The bayanihan or spirit of kinship and camaraderie that Filipinos are famous for is said to be taken from Malay forefathers.
		The Filipinos are divided geographically and culturally into regions, and each regional group is recognizable by distinct traits and dialects - the sturdy and frugal llocanos of the north, the industrious Tagalogs of the central plains, the carefree Visayans from the central islands, and the colorful tribesmen and religious Moslems of Mindanao.
		The Heads of these cultural agencies are all ex-officio members of the NCCA Board and all except the Commission on the Filipino Language are together under the National Commission on Culture and Arts.
