		Filipino (formerly called Pilipino) is the national language and one of the official languages of the Philippines along with English.

		This is compounded by the problem that most Filipinos are bilingual or multilingual, and English is very predominant, that a number of Filipinos now use Taglish (Tagalog peppered with English words all throughout) as their everyday speech.

	Filipino American Literature
		he study of Filipino American literature offers a place for the frames of postcolonial discourse and the literary efforts of the "hypenated" or "ethnic" American to converge-- an intersection which challenges the putative need to separate these endeavors on the basis of the United States's seemingly shaky status as a colonial power.
		It is important to note that American-born-Filipinos are referred to as "Flips." At present, the Filipino American population is the fastest growing Asian American group in the United States, and statistics illustrate that this community will surpass the numbers of Japanese and Chinese Americans combined in the next decade.
		What makes Filipino American literary efforts different, even from South Asian American writers, is the combination of the length of the total colonial experience, the involvement of the United States, and the varying degrees of willingness to assimilate into the American cultural landscape.
