5. System of conventional
spoken or written symbols
used by the people in a
shared culture to
communicate with each
other.

6. Interchangeably used
with variety. It refers to
a part of the speech
community that has a
distinct feature that
distinguishes them from the
whole language community.

7. Overtime, when
dialects develop on
their own, a time may
come when they can be
distinguished as a
separate language.

8. Spanish
It was the national and
official language of the
country
for more than three
centuries under Spanish
colonial rule.

9. Spanish
Become the Lingua
Franca of the Philippines
in the 19th
and 20th centuries.
It was also the language
of the Philippine
Revolution

10. Spanish
In 1899 Malolos Constitution
effectively proclaimed it as the
official language of the First
Philippine Republic.
National hero Jose Rizal wrote
most of his works in Spanish.

12. Luciano de la Rosa established
that
Spanish was spoken by a total of
60%
of the population in the early 20th
century as a first, second or third
language. Following the American
occupation of the Philippines and
the
imposition of English, the use of
Spanish declined gradually,

13. Under the U.S. occupation and
civil
regime, English began to be
taught in
schools. By 1901, public
education used English as the
medium of instruction. Around
600 educators (called
"Thomasites") who arrived in that
year aboard the USS Thomas
replaced the soldiers who also

14. On November 12, 1937,
the First National Assembly
created the National
Language Institute.
President Manuel L. Quezón
appointed native Waray-
Waray speaker Jaime C. De
Veyra to chair a
committee of speakers of
other regional languages.

15. Their aim was to select a
national language among the
other regional languages.
Ultimately, Tagalog was
chosen as the base language
December 30, 1937.
In 1939, President Manuel L.
Quezón renamed the Tagalog
language as Wikang
Pambansa.

16. The language was further
renamed in 1959 as Pilipino by
Secretary of Education Jose
Romero.
The 1973 constitution
declared the Pilipino language
to be co-official, along with
English, and mandated the
development of a national
language, to be known as
Filipino.

17. The Constitution of the Philippines
provides for the use of the vernacular
languages as official auxiliary
languages in provinces where Filipino
is not the lingua franca. In the case
where the vernacular language is a
regional language, Filipinos would
speak in Filipino when speaking in
formal situations while the regional
languages are spoken in nonformal
settings.

18. The diglossia is more
evident in the case of other
languages such as
Pangasinan, Kapampangan,
Bikol, Waray, Hiligaynon,
Sambal, and Maranao, where
the written variant of the
language is becoming less
and less popular to give way
to the use of Filipino.

21. Chinese
Mandarin Chinese is the medium of
instruction in Chinese schools and lingua
franca of the mainland and overseas
Chinese. The Lan-nang variant of the
Hokkien (Min Nan) is the language of the
majority the Chinese in the Philippines,
who immigrated from the Fujian.

22. English
The first significant
exposure of Filipinos to the
English language occurred in
1762 when the British invaded
Manila, but this was a brief
episode that had no lasting
influence.

23. English later became more
important and widespread during
the American Occupation between
1898 and 1946, and remains an
official language of the
Philippines.

24. English
English is an exogenous
language that is difficult for the
mass of Filipinos to acquire
fluently, while tens of millions
are acquiring the lingua franca
and using it extensively on a
daily basis.

25. Arabic
The 1987 Constitution
mandates that Arabic (along
with Spanish) is to be
promoted on a voluntary
basis. Arabic is currently
taught for
free and is promoted in some
Islamic centres.

26. Arabic
It is used primarily in
religious activities and
education (such as in Islamic
school) and rarely for official
events or daily conversation.

27. Arabic
The liturgical language of
Islam is Arabic, but the vast
majority of Muslims in the
Philippines have little
practical knowledge of it
beyond limited religious
terminology.

28. Malay / Indonesian
Malay is
spoken as a
lingua franca in the
southernmost parts of the
Philippines, from Zamboanga
down to Tawi-Tawi among a
minority of the Tausug, Bajau,
and Yakan peoples.

29. Malay / Indonesian
It is also spoken as a
daily language by
Malays and
Indonesians who have settled,
or do business in the Philippines.
It is also spoken in southern
Palawan to some extent.

30. Language and dialects are
expressions of identity. In a country of
over 7,000 islands, diversity is not
difficult to find. While we’re all
connected under the same flag and by
the same national language, we must
also embrace what makes us
different. Each region and each
ethnic group have their own sets of
practices, experiences, and of course,
language.

31. There’s value in embracing what
makes us different and sharing it with
everyone else. It makes us
collectively richer and allows us to
understand, even without speaking.
While we’re all connected under the
same flag and by the same national
language, we must also embrace what
makes us different.
