Tagalog Vs. MEXICAN - Can they Understand each other?

Tagalog Vs. Mexican - I've always wondered how much other Spanish-speakers can understand us given that we have thousands of Spanish loan words in Tagalog. I talked to my friend from Mexico who also lives here in the Philippines to get a better idea.
I picked out a few common Tagalog words that also exist in Español and repeated it to him in the most neutral Filipino accent that I can muster so he can try to define the words.
How similar is Tagalog from Mexican Spanish?
How much can Mexicans understand from our everyday conversations?

iateaplumandifeelweird Actually, the well-off Filipinos (not only insulares but mestizos) spoke Spanish. The problem is the poor didn't have required schooling unlike during the American period, so most didn't learn. Of course, the Americans would teach us English not Spanish.

Most Mexicans are native descendants (i.e., native Mexicans, native Americans, native South Americans, etc.) These "natives" descended from Asians which migrated to the northern and southern American continents eons ago in search of food and new lands. Therefore, you will notice a lot of physical similarities due to shared Asian genetics.

It's like squares and rectangles, all Tagalog words are Filipino but not all Filipino words are Tagalog. You can speak Filipino without speaking in Tagalog technically. . Here's a tidbit. Ever since Manuel L. Quezon mandated a national language, it has been said that Filipino shall use Tagalog grammar/construct as agreed in voting and in studies. Back then, it was being decided between Tagalog and Bisaya because the two had the most number of speakers in the country at the time. That is why Tagalog and Filipino had been interchanged. In an alternate reality, perhaps we are using Bisaya as a construct instead and I think that would be interesting.

I remember my history professor in college discussing how intimate the cultural exchange between Filipinos and Mexicans are because of the Galleon trade.

For sure, there is some Mexican lineage in some of us Filipinos, and some Filipino lineage in some Mexicans. Both are beautiful cultures and both are victims of the oppression and silencing of the Spanish colonial conquest.

Tienes toda la razón entre México t filipinas hubo un gran acercamiento de nuestras dos razas en los tiempos de la colonia española tal vez tengamos más en común los filipinos y los mexicanos que con cualquier otro país

Anna Patrisha.Opresión??? Te has tomado la pastilla? España no oprimió, ni se enriqueció España no hizo ningún genocidio. Muchos indios murieron por enfermedades como la viruela. No había ningún plan para hacerlo, se crearon leyes, normas, estructura jurídica desde Isabel la Católica , Carlos I, Felipe II...para defender a los naturales, ha mezclarse. Gracias al imperio español se construyeron colegios, universidades, hospitales, ciudades etc. La obra civilizadora de España no tiene parangón en el mundo, se creo otra España,para los distintos reyes que hubo a lo largo del imperio no había diferencia entre un territorio americano y peninsular. América era igual a Castilla o Andalucía. No se aspiraba a destruir al indio, sino a ganarlo para la fe. No era un imperio colonial para enriquecerse circunstancia que realizaron los imperialismos coloniales holandeses e ingleses con los protestantes puritanos ingleses, los protestantes holandeses,etc Ellos eran los que decían que el mejor indio era un indio muerto. Y sabes por qué? Porque pensaban, gracias a Lutero, Calvino y otros, que ellos eran los elegidos por Dios y los indios, indígenas, judíos, católicos, etc eran animales que no tenían salvación. Todo eso lo dijo Lutero. Para que perder el tiempo con ellos en nada. Para que perder el tiempo en enseñar a escribir, leer, a enseñar el latín , español, en evangelizar, oficios...para que? Fue un imperio generador. Que hubo crueldades si, pero muchos fueron perseguidos por la justicia. Y en qué civilización no hubo crueldad? Es que somos perfectos?

Chavacano is closer to Spanish than Tagalog although Tagalog have also adopted some of Spanish words.

[@ferdiel6006]

Well said. I have a lot of friends came from Zamboanga. They're native who uses chavacano. They were taught Spanish in a short period of time because they just have to learn the correct construction of grammar, conjugation, and some Spanish words. Not only that, parang 75% sa call center department ng company namin chavacano.

[@robroux6074]

It's closer to Mexican Spanish. Theres a lot of Nahautl influenced words than you think.

[@lazojones1]

duh cuz its a creole of spanish. tagalog only borrowed words like guam language

[@TheHubwoo]

Alcalde is an Arabic al-qaḍi word in origin(قاضي), meaning judge. It was borrowed by the Spanish. Just like the word Alcohol. It was later applied as Mayor or Alcalde Mayor.

[@kelsivanbrito4737]

O espanhol e o português tem muitas palavras de origem árabe pela influcia dos mouros que ficaram na península ibérica durante vários séculos .

Posas in Tagalog means handcuff. I guess once you get married, you're basically handcuffed. hahaha

Los filipinos que vienen a vivir a España al poco tiempo empiezan a hablar un español con un acento perfecto, es impresionante. Creo que la semejanza desconocida entre el español y el tagalo hace que los filipinos aprendan español muy rápido y con un acento estupendo.

[@minombre88503]

Me gustaria que haya mas interaccion entre latinos y filipinos, creo talvez nos parecemos un poco,pero tambien creo que la mayoria de los filipinos no saben ni de la existencia de latinoamerica, me gustaria que hicieras entrevistas en las calles a los filipinos para ver si saben de latinoamerica 😊

[@EricMartinezPH]

Eso es una super idea! Pero creo que la mayoria no pueden decir ni papa. Pero voy a planear para eso. Ojala ya estas suscrita amiga
