Latinos Vs TAGALOG : Can They Understand Filipinos?

They say that there's a ton of Tagalog words that are based from Spanish. I put that to the test by talking to some friends from Latin America to see if they would understand what I'm saying.
Do you think Latinos can easily understand Tagalog of the Philippines?

I hope you can include the Chavacano language in your next online or digital meeting with Latinos and or Hispanics. Also, they say that Tagalog regional language and or the Filipino national language has 30-40% Spanish words, then the various Visayan languages like Cebuano, Hiligaynon or Ilonggo, and Waray have around 40-70% Spanish words, while Chavacano has 70-90% Spanish words. I don't know if this information is really true and based on a research, study, or statistics, but it is quite true that the Visayan languages have more Spanish words than the Tagalog regional language and or the Filipino national language, while Chavacano language has the most number of Spanish words out of all the native languages spoken in the country.

[@fvckthepatriarchy]

Yeah even Bicol Sorsogon has so many borrowed Spanish words too that are not being used in Tagalog.

[@artesiningart4961]

@@fvckthepatriarchy Yeah. When someone like a foreigner wants to choose or identify a language in the Philippines that is heavily influenced by Spanish, the Tagalog regional language or the Filipino national language is the most famous language to be chosen or identified, but is not the best candidate to be chosen or identified. The other languages in the Philippines have more Spanish borrowed or loan words compared to Tagalog or the Wikang Filipino, and most notably are the various Visayan languages of the Visayas and Mindanao, and also the languages and dialects in Bicol Region, but the various varieties, variants, or dialects of Chavacano/Chabacano are the most heavily influenced with Spanish among all of the 130+ spoken languages in the country. Chavacano/Chabacano is not linguistically labeled or called a Spanish-based creole language for no reason. Chavacano/Chabacano is not even categorized and grouped under the Austronesian language family like the rest of the other native languages in the Philippines, but to a group of category of Spanish creole or Spanish-based creoles around the world, and are thus sometimes considered as a or an offshoot of Romance languages.

Eric, I'm a Spaniard and at least in Spain we do know that Filipinas was a beloved Spanish colony where Spanish was taught and that their native language of Tagalog incorporates a lot of Spanish words (we study it in history class.) My best friend (also from Spain) married a Filipina and fair enough, she showed me how many Spanish words we have in common. Now, the Filipines were a Spanish colony and did not belong to a Latin country therefore I'm not surprised that they don't study that in school (they study their respective country's history.) It would be like expecting an American to know about the Australian independence from England. My two cents...

While English was introduced to us when the Americans took over colonial duties from Spain, Spanish still lingered on among members of the local elite as well as descendants of Spanish settlers (and apparently even Basque was still spoken by early generations of Basque Pinoys), with many books, newspapers and even early Philippine cinema utilizing the language until World War 2. According to what I've read over the years in history books and old articles, most speakers were mostly based in Manila and its outskirts, with pockets found elsewhere, not counting Chavacano speakers. Many Manila-based speakers were essentially wiped out as a result of widescale bombings over the city towards the end of the war so that effectively ended the language's dominance in the national consciousness, with chilling effects in the coming decades. The remaining speakers either continued to use the language amongst themselves or have not passed the language on to their children and encouraged them to shift to English and the local vernacular. In the viewpoint of the government at the time, there's no practical use for the language anymore and saw English as something we'll be better equipped with so that was highly encouraged, resulting to generations of ESOL speakers with varying degrees of fluency. I do think that despite that, Filipinos still have an advantage towards learning Spanish because of our familiarity with terms and phrases stemming from our past history with Spain compared to other foreigners. :D

As a Chavacano speaker from Zamboanga City, we almost use all of those example words you gave in our creole language, and we use the Spanish meanings and spellings too. It just proves that Chavacano language, especially from Zamboanga City, is a Spanish-based creole language with 70-90% of its lexicons or vocabulary words that were derived from, similar, almost the same, and most of the time are the same or exactly equal to Spanish words and their meanings and spellings.

[@mabanomet9879]

Do you think chavacano speakers would like to transition to spanish and leave chavacano behind?

[@artesiningart4961]

@@mabanomet9879 I think not. For most common Chavacano-speaking Zamboangueños, Spanish is really different compared to colloquial and daily Chavacano and even to formal and official semi-standardized Chavacano, and most people will see and treat Spanish as difficult to study and learn especially in terms of spelling, grammar and conjugations, and on the use of other Spanish words. Most people would also see learning, studying, and using the Spanish language entirely as something useless and difficult. Useless because the Spanish language is not promoted, used, and supported by the national government and even by local governments, and by the education department, and even in our law and constitution, as well as by local and national Philippine media, and there's no strong need or significance to learn, use, and study Spanish in a place or country where it is not widely used, not widely supported, and not widely promoted, and where the national language (Filipino), English, and the regional native languages are the main priority languages to use, learn, study, and practice. On the other hand it is difficult because there are less to few media to assist and aid in the use, study, and learning of Spanish such as in the form of books, songs, literature, television channels, radio stations, other print media, film, etc., and it is possible but very difficult to pratice, study, learn, and use Spanish in a place or a country where there are very few Spanish native speakers to practice with and communicate with on a daily basis, and also a lot of energy, money, effort, human resources, and other resources are needed to realize these things. These things are possible to do and realize, but they're just very tough to do. I guess if a certain industry, business, or company will begin to hire a lot of Zamboangueños and other Filipinos for work, but will require or will task the people to be able to communicate in Spanish, or will teach them the Spanish language, or will give them the ability, access, and opportunity to do so, then just maybe right there, the use, practice, study, and learning of Spanish will be easier (through the need for worl, through opportunities, access, and or training) and will have a significant function or use (which is to have a work/job). One example for that is for a call center agency or other BPO companies to hire or in need to hire a lot of Zamboangueños and other Filipinos but for Spanish language and transactions, and not for English. Zamboangueño people are now more focused on the preservation, cultivation, promotion, and spread, as well as on the research, study, education, and instruction of the Chavacano language in the whole of Zamboanga City, and hopefully towards its full and official standardization as a native language of the Philippines and as an official language of the City of Zamboanga, which not even all people or residents and citizens of Zamboanga City use and speak natively as a first language, and even as a second, third, or fourth language (especially those people who are from other ethnicities, new residents, tourists, visitors, domestic migrants from other parts of the Philippines, etc. who are residing and living in the city of Zamboanga.) I really don't know what other Zamboangueños will be thinking about this idea, or what they're going to think and do about it, but for me personally, I am willing to learn and study Spanish, not just as a language for communication, but also even down to its history, culture, literature, and linguistics. I also personally won't leave and replace Chavacano for Spanish, as Chavacano language is closer to my heart, ethnicity, heritage, and culture than the Spanish language. I also encourage other Chavacano-speaking Zamboangueños to learn and study Spanish too, especially if they can, are able to, or have the access, ability, or opportunity to do so. It's better for us to be able to speak the Spanish language alongside its creole language Chavacano. To communicate in Spanish is to connect with our Hispanic heritage, history, influences, and culture, and with Hispanophones around the world like Spaniards and Hispanic-Latinos, but to still communicate in Chavacano is to still connect with our own unique mixed heritage, culture, history, traditions, etc. as a Spanish creole-speaking ethnicity or people within our Mindanaoan, Filipino, Southeast Asian, and general Asian identities, because first of all, we have our own unique ethnicity defined by our Spanish-based creole language and our unique Spanish creole culture, heritage, traditions, and shared history. I don't know what the future will be and what it will bring. So maybe we will use Spanish and leave apart or leave behind Chavacano, or we will use them both alongside one another as two distinct and separate languages of their own that may or may not lead to diglossia between these languages, or we will never use Spanish and we will just stick with our Spanish-based creole, or the worse thing is that we will use other language or languages because Chavacano will entirely be extinct and dead language in the future because of the greater influences of other native and foreign languages spoken in and nearby our city.

[@unyelfe]

@@artesiningart4961 : Very interesting your comment. You say that many Zamboangueños think that Spanish language is useless. It is a pity. They are looking just for today. If the Philippines will become a developed country you must look the future, that means the Philippines must conquest world's markets and be a dynamic part of international community. The Spanish language is the 2nd most used language in the world as native language, with more than 500,000,000.- speakers, in more than 20 countries. Countries like USA, China, Japan, South Korea, France, etc. are learning Spanish as their 2nd or 3th foreign language, those countries know about development and about what is comming in the future. I am from Latin America (Chile), and in my country there are plenty of products comming from Malaysia, Taiwan, Vietnam, Corea, Japan, China, Thailand, Indonesia, ... but almost nothing comming from the Philippines! Why? For filipinos it is easy to learn Spanish, specially chavacano speaking people, and you have a big cultural affinity with the Hispanic brotherhood. So I think the Philippines must take profit to this advantages a go conquest the world. Globalization is here. Viva Filipinas!!!

[@artesiningart4961]

@@unyelfe I really don't know what other Zamboangueños think or will think about Spanish, but I just based on my general experiences and observations of other Zamboangueños and of all other Filipinos in general, so I don't mean that idea as a fact or truth but more just like my personal opinion and generalizations based on my limited observations and experiencies. Excluding all of those, I think Zamboangueños and other Chavacano-speaking ethnolinguistic groups like Ternateños and Caviteños might more or less like to learn and study Spanish more than other Filipinos, maybe becuase of our closer linguistic, heritage, historical, and cultural relationships with Spain and Mexico, especially to our ethnogenesis, culture, and our creole language varieties compared to other Filipinos, and that's just what I think, and I am not really that sure. Other Filipinos on the other hand might view and treat the Spanish language in two or more ways or perspectives, but the there are two main opposite ways or perspectives of how other Filipinos might view and treat Spanish in our country: (1) Spanish will be viewed, seen, and treated as a beneficial language to be learned and studied for opportunities such as travel, work, recreation, better trade and diplomacy especially with Spain and Latin American countries, for building new relationships such as friendships and even for potential romantic relationships, marriage, and other forms of relationships, for studies and education abroad in Spanish-speaking countries, and for reconnecting and building ties with other people of countries that share some similarities to us in terms of culture, heritage, religion, traditions, food and cuisine, customs, words and vocabularies, etc. brought by Hispanic influences. (This is the perspective on the Spanish language by seeing to the future and doing it positively), while the other way or perspective is ... (2) Not wanting to learn and study Spanish because it is not anymore a language of the Philippines for a very long time already, and was heavily replaced by English and our national language - the Filipino national language based mainly on the Tagalog regional language. Spanish also is not a native indigenous language of the Philippines, and it is not our national language nor any of our regional languages, and Filipinos are very nationalistic and patriotic people who prefer and even highly value our pre-colonial or pre-Hispanic colonial era, when and where our people are free and not colonized by any other foreign powers, and most Filipinos still never forgot what the Spanish people did to our ancestors and native people back then, especially on how they were mistreated and all, so Filipinos most likely will not like to learn and study again a language given, used, and imposed by foreign colonial and imperial powers like Spain and the Spanish/Spaniard people, that will just remind us of our past, and that will make us people who use, learn, study, and speak the language of our past colonizers, oppressors, and conquerors. In other words, Filipinos have a bad view of the Spanish language, and in majority, Filipinos nowadays even want to remove all of the traces and remnants of the Spanish colonial era as much as they can, such as renaming our country with a new name and replace the name named after King Philip II of Spain, reusing and reintroducing our old and ancient alpha-syllabic writing systems and replacing the use of our alphabet that were influenced by the Spanish alphabet and English alphabet, etc. Also the other negative reason is because of the English language that was introduced anf taught by the Americans. English already replaced Spanish's functions to be used as a language in our country, and served as a useful and functional language where the Spanish language failed to be used during the Spanish colonial era. English had a lot of greater impact in our entire country compared to Spanish especially in modern to contemporary history unlike what happened in Latin American countries where Spanish remained and was used and is still in use for a long time up until now. There was also a shift and abandonment of the Spanish language that happened before that made the Spanish language from being an official language of our country down to just be an optional and voluntary language, while English totally replaced Spanish. English is more useful and functional as an international common or universal language especially for international communications, trade, relationships, building ties, politics, and diplomacies in Southeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific Region compared to Spanish, as most if not all Southeast Asian and Asia-Pacific countries also learn and study English for these reasons. English is better to be learned and studied than Spanish because it is spoken by a lot of people and countries as a first and second language, and English is used in a lot of other countries and by a lot of other people around the world than Spanish. English is even a better language that even surpasses what Spanish can function especially within the Philippines in the contemporary era. English is the main and the most popular international language for technology, science, medicine, the Internet, social media, music, the arts, humanities, entertainment, etc. especially in the Philippines. English is also already embedded in our daily lives compared to Spanish, abd we even do more code-switching between English and our native languages most if not all of the time while using Spanish only for our words and some phrases withib our languages, and Spanish is just a language and thing of the past, that yeah even though it did influenced our languages, country, culture, and people, but it just stopped right there by mere influencing, and not a very much useful and functional language to use, learn, and study if English already can do a lot of the work that Spanish promises to do if we will learn, study, and use it. Filipinos also even support more the use of our national language and our other regional, native, and indgenous languages than English and other foreign languages, in order to promote them, preserve them, cultivate them better, and to use, study, learn, and speak languages of our own and from our own lands, as well as to be more nationalistic and patriotic. So if we even treat English differently to prefer our own national language and native languages, then what more with Spanish, which was a language that was totally replaced by English. (This is a perspective of seeing the Spanish language from the past and doing it negatively)

[@artesiningart4961]

@@unyelfe Some Filipinos view the Spanish language with the first perspective, and a lot more Filipinos are viewing Spanish through that perspective as time goes on especially among the younger generations, while most Filipinos especially among the older generations view the Spanish language through the second perspective. Some Filipinos also acknowledge the second perspective but tries to view the language through the first perspective. I also observed and noticed that there are now more Filipinos who are also interested and curious with the Spanish language, and were even schocked to realize that most of our daily words and vocabularies that we just use casually are from the Spanish language. A lot of schools now also teach the Spanish language as an elective foreign language study in the form of an elective school course or subject in universities and colleges, and through special curricular programs in junior high schools, but not in majority though, and just only the basics of Level 1 to Level 2 foreign language study levels. The interest of other Filipinos to the Spanish language is just similar or even the same to how other Filipinos treat other foreign languages they're interested in and wanted to learn, study, use, speak, and communicate into like French, German, Korean, Japanese, etc. There are also some from time to time modern and contemporary programs, movements, and activities that support, advocate, and choose in bringing back Spanish as a school language subject, as a mandatory language study, as a foreign language elective available for all schools, or even back as an official language of our country, but still these things doesn't work and doesn't last long, doesn't come to fruition and reality, or just small and often unnoticed, and sometimes just done by a small population of individuals, groups, communities, organizations, etc., and not that really wide or on a national level most of the time. The lack of government support and encouragement, and the lack of resources, native first language speakers and even non-native language speakers, the lack to none of various forms of mass media in the Philippines in Spanish language, lack of Philippine or Filipino literature in Spanish, and even our very own law and constitution that treats Spanish language not as a language for instruction, not as a language of communication, not as an official language, not as a national language, not as a working language, but just as a language supported through a voluntary and optional basis together with Arabic, plus other factors, make the Spanish language learning, acquisition, study, communication, and practice in the Philippines harder to realize and come to fruition. Then what more on being proficient and fluent native and or first language speaker and user of the Spanish language? That is way more harder to do, to realize, and to come to fruition, given the realities in the Philippines right now. To really bring back the study, learning, use, practice, and communication in the Spanish language in our country once again, is needed to be done by means of law and law enforcement, mainly through all mass media and all levels and types of education, and to re-educate Filipinos to view and see the Spanish language as a language for the future and for greater opportunities, and not as a language of the past, of conquerors and colonizers, of oppressors, and of being not functional and useless. I personally from sometimes do comment on some videos on the official KZbin channel of my city (Zamboanga City, where the Chavacano language is an official language) to also support, encourage, and even give opportunities, accesses, chances, avenues, ways, and manners for Chavacano-speaking people in the city of Zamboanga and other parts of the Philippines, to learn, use, study, practice, and communicate the Spanish language, as it is more easier for us to learn it compared to all other Filipinos, and as we take pride on being the "Asia's Latin City", on our majority Zamboangueño ethnicity, on our Zamboangueño heritage and culture, and our Spanish-based creole language. My mom learned Spanish as a two-semester language courses in her college days as just basics Spanish levels 1 and 2 only, but because nobody speaks Spanish nor even her teachers and classmates speak in fluent and proficient Spanish like a native speaker, and because in all other communication and language situations, English, Filipino/Tagalog, and Chavacano are what she uses as her languages to speak to other people from her family to her friends, and because English and Filipino/Tagalog are the main languages of films, TV, radio, and books, and other national and international mass media, and Chavacano is the main language of local mass media, then she and like those other students who studied, learned, and practiced the Spanish language just in schools and just as basic language courses, don't have the daily need, chances, opportunities, avenues, ways, manners, places, importance, and significance to use the Spanish language if the Chavacano language, the English language, and the Filipino/Tagalog language are the ones most needed and used. That's why I said, that unless the Spanish language will have a strong importance, need, and significance for Filipinos to learn, study, practice, and use, then that's the only time that the Spanish language will be widespread again in the Philippines. That's also why I said, that if a law will mandate the study, learning, yse, practice, and communication of the Spanish language in the Philippines, then Filipinos will start using the Spanish language again. In the Philippines, a new bill for a law or a recently new passed law will almost always be in the news, and I know that there will be Filipinos who will oppose, complain, rally, and file a case against a bill or law mandating the use of the Spanish language again in the country, or on any bill or law related to it.

Puttu comes from the Indian Dravidian language Malayalam, not Malay.

There's a big difference between the word "dialect" versus "language". When you say dialect, you speak your native language to another and can still be understood.

Cambio/kambyo can mean sencillo/sensilyo or change in Visayan-Cebuano speaking areas in Visayas/Mindanao, PH when you pay something.

[@artesiningart4961]

In Chavacano de Zamboanga, "sensillo" (also spelled as "sensilyo" or "sinsilyo") means "change (money)" or "coins/pennies", and "cambio" (also spelled as "kambio", "cambyo", or "kambyo") can mean both "change (the money)" and "change (as in the words "change" or "changing"). In a nutshell, in Chavacano de Zamboanga: Sensillo (or Sensilyo, or Sinsilyo) = Suklî or Baryá in Filipino/Tagalog language.

Actually, the "Filipino" language contains a lot of borrowed words from the Spanish and English languages, not Tagalog. Tagalog is a native language spoken by one of the many groups of people living in the Philippines mainly the Tagalog people and has different dialects including the Tagalog of the Batangenos, and the Tagalog of the Manilenos. When you were referring to those borrowed words or hiram na salita, they actually are modified under the rules of the Filipino alphabet to be included into the FILIPINO language. So no, pure Tagalog has no loanwords even though the phonetics may resemble some of its neighboring languages, rather, it is the Filipino language that has those loanwords.
