ang tagalog ay walang salita para sa lahat - (halimbawa sa soda), kaya't minsan ay tumatawid sila mula sa tagalog patungong ingles na maaaring isang dahilan para sa pag-sign. isa pa, na tulad ng nasabi na, maraming mga filipino, partikular ang mayaman ang nais na magsalita sa ingles lamang dahil ito ay isang bagay sa klase - halimbawa, ang kanilang mas malalaking mga kilalang tao lahat ay may mas magaan na balat at mas mahusay na nagsasalita ng ingles

Inaasahan kong gumana nang tama ang google translate. maaari kong tanungin ang aking asawa na magsalin, ngunit malamang na tatawanan niya ako

what he said is correct - but it is virtually no different to what chickenmochizuki had already stated

many filipinos speak tagalog - virtually all of the educated from luzon speak english either alone or with tagalog - outside of luzon (and even most probably inside luzon as well), there are many, many different dialects. the country is made of over 7500 islands, and even with just 1500 of them inhabitable, that means there will be countless different dialects among the locals

The thing is they are professional and credentialed scholars who have spent years researching different issues before arriving at their conclusions. This research is there for all to see and contemplate on.

On the other hand, we have a random poster online who claims otherwise with absolutely nothing else to back up his claims other than his "wife" said so because she was born and raised there. Being born and raised in a place really doesn't mean anything here, does it? The bigger issue though (and please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) is I don't think you have any skin in the game here. Do you even speak any Philippine language fluently?

My guess is absolutely not. So, this issue means nothing to you which is quite obvious in your irrelevant meanderings in the face of official documents. Perhaps, one day you can make an attempt to actually learn the language to an advanced level and we can re-visit this interesting topic. Until then, have a great day!

What a bunch of evasive, irrelevant nonsense you have posted. I will try to make the issue as clear as possible for you. You ludicrously dismiss the most important evidence as if it were inconsequential. Do you really think that "documents" and "credentialed scholars" have more authority in this area than someone who actually lived in the PI? The notion is nonsensical. We are not dealing with a matter involving erudite research, but rather with one of a purely practical nature - what, if any, is a universal language in the Philippines. The people who are in a position to provide an answer to this question are the natives of the Philippines themselves, who move about the islands, communicating with each other, not a pack of "credentialed scholars." You have received the testimony of one of those people, and have seen fit to disregard it. That is your choice, although you have provided no cogent argument to support your position.
