Batangas

spoken before the arrival of the Spanish. Hence the Summer Institute of
Linguistics called this province the Heartland of the Tagalog Language. A strong
presence of the Tagalog culture is clearly visible to the present day.
• Linguistically Batangueños are also known for their unique affectation of often
placing the particles eh or ga (equivalent of particle ba Filipino), usually as a
marker of stress on the sentence, at the end of their spoken sentences or speech;
for example: "Ay, oo, eh!" ("Aye, yes, indeed!"). Some even prolong the particle
'eh' into 'ala eh', though it really has no meaning in itself.

Batangas
• Language
• Although much can be said about the way a Batangueño speaks his or her
Tagalog, the high literacy of the locals means English is also widely spoken in
the province. Spanish is also understood up to some extent. In fact, some
towns like Nasugbu, Taal and Lemery still have a significant minority of
Spanish speakers. Visayan is also spoken by a significant minority due to the
influx of migration from the Southern Philippines
