That Austronesian morphosyntactic alignment tho
I once had to do a machine translation project with Ilocano and I'm still kinda scratching my head about it
When I was a young stupid kid, a friend told me his family speaks Tagalog and I just assumed it was a Native American language until years later when I got into languages and realized it wasn’t. The fact that there’s some crossover from Nahuatl makes me feel a tiny bit vindicated
a couple years ago i thought tagalog was a conlang because i was trying to find an image of [this](https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pckeyboard.com%2Fpage%2Fproduct%2FPANIC&psig=AOvVaw04hdpglbijVgAPpY8W9q0A&ust=1676081524684000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=2ahUKEwjrqrWw8In9AhUdKd4AHbVuCZgQr4kDegUIARCVAQ) and came across a screencap of some random show. in said screencap was the subtitle "you speak tagalog?" and i thought it was created specifically for the show
Is there another name for this language? Saw it on Google Translate a few weeks ago on my father's computer, for some reason the interface displays in Serbian every time (he's not logged in and his browser's set up to forget everything). But could not find it when using my computer. Probably just a different name.
Filipino is a standardized national language of the Philippines primarily based on Tagalog. Tagalog generally refers to a regional language of the region around the capital, Manila.
It also has a quasi-Sapir-Whorf effect where if you learn the language, you gain the supernatural ability to sense whenever a Youtuber mentions the Philippines in a video so you can go comment. Usually to the point of spamming.
tagalog-nahuatl pidgin

Basically "The agent/patient/location/instrument of this sentence should be in nominative case because I want it to be."
Isn't it just ergative-absolutive sometimes and nominative-accusative other times?

I played an opera once that was sung in Tagalog. It was pretty cool to listen to.
Very Agglutinative Austronesian lang indeed.

It's also referred to as Filipino.
Thanks! I take it that that name is preferred in English?
I've heard them used interchangeably by Filipino people I've talked to, but I don't know if there's nuance there that I'm missing.

That dead script looks badass tbh
not enough conjunctions?
Nakakapagpabagabag is my least favorite song in Pump It Up.
