The TAGALOG (FILIPINO) Language:
Tagalog is one of the major languages of the Republic of the Philippines. It is the most spoken Philippine language in terms of the number of speakers. Tagalog (Filipino) has been influenced principally in vocabulary by the languages with which they have come in contact: Sanskrit, Arabic, Chinese, English and Spanish. Some of the grammatical features of the Philippine languages are the complex system of affixes, especially of verbal affixes, which denote a special relationship between the verb and a particular noun phrase in the sentence often referred to by Philippine linguists as "topic" or "subject." This relationship as actor, goal or referent in the sentence is usually marked by an affix in the verb. There are other prominent features of the language such as the use of markers in a sentence, the reduplication of a syllable in a word and the use of particles between words and phrases.
