Tips to aid memorizing

Tips to aid memorizing
While there is no perfect way to memorize anything, there are methods that can be used to help retain information. The usual way we learn languages is by repeatedly reading the same translation with the hope that some of the words will stay in the memory, but this is rarely useful unless we can make use of the words, in many sentences, and many times.
For myself I try to remember words in patterns. A few examples of word combinations are below. English to Bisaya.the rusty nail ang langsang tai-aon
the pink wall ang bungbung rosa
the beautiful girl ang gwapa na babae
By remember more than one word at a time I`ve created a stronger link in my mind. A deeper memory. It means at a later date I can recall the individual words by remembering the links between words to use in other sentences. A lot of the word combinations I use are absurd to enhance the memory. Strange sentences are unique and so easier to remember.
Another method to remember words is the use of images in the mind. The brain can create images with all of the senses. We can imagine touches, sights, sounds, smells. By creating specific images we can aid the recall of the words we try to remember. Images are by far the most successful way of remembering things and are often best used to remember particularly difficult words. Every year a group of memory experts perform in the World Memoriad competion. Images are by far the most common way of remembering in this tournament.
As an example of remembering a word using images I`ll try to explain how I would remember a word. Lets say we take something like house in english and translate this to chinese fáng 房
We won`t concern ourselves with the Chinese written character, only the pinyin (english way to write chinese). Imagine a giant fang, with all the usual house features. Windows including curtains, doors with the details of your own door. You could even think of it with a garden, fence and even an owner if you wish (chinese owner of course). Each part of the scene you have created will help to remember the word. Now, there is one more thing you have to put into your memory, with regards to the letter á. You will notice the line going up at an angle. That means the word starts with a low tone, and then as you say the word, you raise the tone of the word to a higher pitch. Chinese is a 5 tone language. Without the tone, you would seem to speak nonsense.
We have to think of a way to represent the tone so that we remember that as well as the spelling. The choice would be yours, and you should try to think of something that you would always remember. For me, I would imagine an escalator. Just place that in the scene pointing in the same direction as the tone above the á. The escalator would only be used for rising tone, otherwise it would be easy to confuse yourself in other images.
This image shows the idea, but it doesn`t show the complexity that the mind can create. An image can take a moment to think about and create in your mind, with all the detail you can imagine yourself.
My whole tone system is as follows shown using the letter a.
a (neutral tone) nothing added to the scene
ā (high tone) a set of scales balanced but wobbling. That helps to remember them.
à (high to low) a childs slide, with me sliding down it!
ǎ (high to low and back to high) a giant bowl that has special meaning to me. Very decorative, and easy to remember. A plain bowl wouldn`t work very well.
á (low to high) an escalator. It can be as big as you want, and contain as many people as you wish. Try to think of beautiful girls, handsome guys. Anything that helps.
The tones are the same for the other vowels, so we don`t need to remember any other tone objects.
With practise, you can imagine pictures quicker, and recall them quicker.
All the images should be vivid. Bright colours, noises, textures, temperatures, and even emotions. Everything you include that has a strong influence, will make for more memorable images.
I hope these tips have been useful. Use whatever methods you think best, but don`t be afraid to experiment with different techniques. Learning should be fun, not a chore. Test your new knowledge as often as possible, and chat with people in forums or through instant messenger to help with the grammar and to reinforce your new found knowledge. Good luck!

As an example of remembering a word using images I`ll try to explain how I would remember a word. Lets say we take something like house in english and translate this to chinese fáng 房
We won`t concern ourselves with the Chinese written character, only the pinyin (english way to write chinese). Imagine a giant fang, with all the usual house features. Windows including curtains, doors with the details of your own door. You could even think of it with a garden, fence and even an owner if you wish (chinese owner of course). Each part of the scene you have created will help to remember the word. Now, there is one more thing you have to put into your memory, with regards to the letter á. You will notice the line going up at an angle. That means the word starts with a low tone, and then as you say the word, you raise the tone of the word to a higher pitch. Chinese is a 5 tone language. Without the tone, you would seem to speak nonsense.
We have to think of a way to represent the tone so that we remember that as well as the spelling. The choice would be yours, and you should try to think of something that you would always remember. For me, I would imagine an escalator. Just place that in the scene pointing in the same direction as the tone above the á. The escalator would only be used for rising tone, otherwise it would be easy to confuse yourself in other images.
This image shows the idea, but it doesn`t show the complexity that the mind can create. An image can take a moment to think about and create in your mind, with all the detail you can imagine yourself.
My whole tone system is as follows shown using the letter a.
a (neutral tone) nothing added to the scene
ā (high tone) a set of scales balanced but wobbling. That helps to remember them.
à (high to low) a childs slide, with me sliding down it!
ǎ (high to low and back to high) a giant bowl that has special meaning to me. Very decorative, and easy to remember. A plain bowl wouldn`t work very well.
á (low to high) an escalator. It can be as big as you want, and contain as many people as you wish. Try to think of beautiful girls, handsome guys. Anything that helps.
The tones are the same for the other vowels, so we don`t need to remember any other tone objects.
With practise, you can imagine pictures quicker, and recall them quicker.
All the images should be vivid. Bright colours, noises, textures, temperatures, and even emotions. Everything you include that has a strong influence, will make for more memorable images.
I hope these tips have been useful. Use whatever methods you think best, but don`t be afraid to experiment with different techniques. Learning should be fun, not a chore. Test your new knowledge as often as possible, and chat with people in forums or through instant messenger to help with the grammar and to reinforce your new found knowledge. Good luck!

“On Compassion & Social Service”?
One Response to “On Compassion & Social Service”
I read this article carefully and thouht more and more in grief. You must be having an angel spirit when you wrote this. At no doubt, you have to be such golden fingers fairy. I cann’t imaging how can I meet someone like you in this whole materialstic world? It won happend to me, unless in a sweaty dream. But you’re that right, poor people almost offer theirs to serve and caring into everybody else with false tough. They most expecting something, more than loving and caring . And the rich used only tobe serve and cared. Actualy there were no such bridge for equal but only for such the rich reign among the poor. In anyway, phisiically or mentality. And those of these aren’t for an obey but anger. You may get such easy achievment from all those anger people. Thanks for sharing.

Tagalog (pronunciation: [tɐˈgaːlog]) is one of the major languages of the Republic of the Philippines. It is the largest of the Philippine languages in terms of the number of speakers.
Tagalog, as its standardized counterpart, Filipino, is the principal language of the national media in the Philippines. It is the primary language of public education. It is, along with English, a co-official language and the sole national language. Tagalog is widely used as a lingua franca throughout the country, and in overseas Filipino communities. However, while Tagalog may be prevalent in those fields, English is more prevalent in fields such as government and business.

History
The word Tagalog was derived from tagá-ílog, from tagá- meaning "native of" and ílog meaning "river", thus, it means "river dweller." Since there are no surviving written samples of Tagalog before the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century, very little is known about the history of the language. However there is speculation among linguists that the ancestors of the Tagalogs originated, along with their Central Philippine cousins, from northeastern Mindanao or eastern Visayas.
The first known book to be written in Tagalog is the Doctrina Cristiana (Christian Doctrine) of 1593. It was written in Spanish and two versions of Tagalog; one written in Baybayin and the other in the Latin alphabet.
Throughout the 300 years of Spanish occupation, there have been grammars and dictionaries written by Spanish clergymen such as Vocabulario de Lengua Tagala by Pedro de San Buenaventura (Pila, Laguna, 1613), Vocabulario de la lengua tagala (1835) and Arte de la lengua tagala y manual tagalog para la adminstración de los Santos Sacramentos (1850).
Poet Francisco "Balagtas" Baltazar (1788-1862) is often regarded as the Tagalog equivalent of William Shakespeare. His most famous work is the early 19th-century Florante at Laura.
Classification
Tagalog is a Central Philippine language within the Austronesian language family. Being a Malayo-Polynesian it is related to other Austronesian languages such as Indonesian, Malay, Fijian, Maori (of New Zealand), Hawaiian, Malagasy (of Madagascar), Samoan, Tahitian, Chamorro (of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands), Tetum (of East Timor), and Paiwan (of Taiwan).
It is closely related to the languages spoken in the Bicol and Visayas regions such as Bikol, Hiligaynon, Waray-Waray, and Cebuano.
Languages that have made significant contributions to Tagalog are Spanish, Min Nan Chinese, English, Malay, Sanskrit (via Malay), Arabic (via Malay/Spanish), and Northern Philippine languages such as Kapampangan spoken on the island of Luzon.
Geographic distribution
The Tagalog homeland, or Katagalugan, covers roughly much of the central to southern parts of the island of Luzon - particularly in Aurora, Bataan, Batangas, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Metro Manila, Nueva Ecija, Quezon, and Rizal. Tagalog is also spoken natively by inhabitants living on the islands of Lubang, Marinduque, and the northern and eastern parts of Mindoro. According to the Philippine Census of 2000, 21,485,927 out of 76,332,470 Filipinos claimed Tagalog as their first language. An estimated 50 million Filipinos speak it in varying degrees of proficiency.
Tagalog speakers are to be found in other parts of the Philippines as well as throughout the world; it is the sixth most-spoken language in the United States.
Official status
After weeks of study and deliberation, Tagalog was chosen by the National Language Institute, a committee composed of seven members who represented various regions in the Philippines. President Manuel L. Quezon then proclaimed Tagalog the national language or wikang pambansâ of the Philippines on December 30, 1937. This was made official upon the Philippines' restoration of independence from the United States on July 4, 1946.
From 1961 to 1987, Tagalog was also known as Pilipino. In 1987, the name changed to Filipino.
Since 1940, Tagalog has been taught in schools throughout the Philippines. It is the only one out of over 160 Philippine languages that is officially used in schools.
Dialects
At present, no comprehensive dialectology has been done in the Tagalog-speaking regions, though there have been descriptions in the form of dictionaries and grammars on various Tagalog dialects. Ethnologue lists Lubang, Manila, Marinduque, Bataan, Batangas, Bulacan, Tanay-Paete, and Tayabas as dialects of Tagalog. However, there appear to be four main dialects of which the aforementioned are a part; Northern, Central (including Manila), Southern, and Marinduque.
Some example of dialectal differences are:
Many Tagalog dialects, particularly those in the south, preserve the glottal stop found after consonants and before vowels. This has been lost in standard Tagalog. For example standard Tagalog ngayon (now, today), sinigang (stew), gabi (night), matamis (sweet), are pronounced and written ngay-on, sinig-ang, gab-i, and matam-is in other dialects.
In Morong Tagalog, [r] is usually prefered over [d]. For example, bundók, dagat, dingdíng, and isdâ become bunrok, ragat, ringring, and isra.
In many southern dialects, the progressive aspect prefix of -um- verbs is na-. For example, standard Tagalog kumakain (eating) is nákáin in Quezon and Batangas Tagalog. This is the butt of some jokes by other Tagalog speakers since a phrase such as nakain ka ba ng pating is interpreted as "did a shark eat you?" by those from Manila but in reality means "do you eat shark?" to those in the south.
Some dialects have interjections which are a considered a trademark of their region. For example, the interjection ala eh usually identifies someone from Batangas while as does hani in Morong.
Perhaps the most divergent Tagalog dialects are those spoken in Marinduque. Linguist Rosa Soberano identifies two dialects, western and eastern with the former being closer to the Tagalog dialects spoken in the provinces of Batangas and Quezon.
One example are the verb conjugation paradigms. While some of the affixes are different, Marinduque also preserves the imperative affixes, also found in Visayan and Bikol languages, that have mostly disappeared from most Tagalog dialects by the early 20th century; they have since merged with the infinitive.
Standard Tagalog: Susulat sina Maria at Fulgencia kay Juan.
E. Marinduque Tagalog: Másúlat da Maria at Fulgencia kay Juan.
"Maria and Fulgencia will write to Juan."
ST: Mag-aaral siya sa Ateneo.
EM: Gaaral siya sa Ateneo.
"He will study at Ateneo."
ST: Magluto ka!
EM: Pagluto ka!
"Cook!"
ST: Kainin mo iyan.
EM: Kaina mo yaan.
"Eat that."
ST: Tinatawag ngâ tayo ni Tatay.
EM: Inatawag nganì kitá ni Tatay.
"Father is calling us indeed."
ST: Tutulungan ba kayó ni Hilarion?
EM: Atulungan ga kamo ni Hilarion?
"Will Hilarion help you (pl.)?"
Derived languages
Frequent contact between Tagalog speakers and Spanish speakers have given way to Philippine Creole Spanish or Chabacano. There are three known varieties of Chabacano which have Tagalog as their substrate language: Caviteño, Ternateño, and the extinct Ermitaño, spoken in Cavite City, Ternate, and Ermita, Manila, respectively.
Taglish and code-switching
Taglish is the name given to a mix of English and Tagalog. The amount of English in Tagalog ranges from simple loan words to outright code-switching where the language changes in midsentence; this is prevalent throughout the Philippines and various Philippine languages.
Nasirà ang computer ko kahapon!
"My computer broke down yesterday!"
Huwág kang maninigarilyo, because it is harmful to your health.
"Never smoke cigarettes, ..."
Although it is generally looked down upon, code-switching is prevalent in all levels of society, though urban-dwellers, those with high education, and those born around World War II are more likely to do it. Politicians, such as President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, have code-switched in interviews.
It is common in television, radio, and print media as well. In the US, advertisements from companies like Wells Fargo, Wal-Mart, Albertsons, and Western Union have contained Taglish.
The Chinese and the non-Tagalog communities also frequently code-switch their language, be it Cebuano or Min Nan Chinese, with Taglish.
Binaliktad
A kind of slang called binaliktád (reversed) is where the word is modified by changing around the syllables. . Equivalents in other languages are vesre, verlan, and Pig Latin. For example, tigás (hard, strong), dito (here), hindî (no), and sigarilyó (cigarettes) respectively become astíg, todits, dehins, and yosi.
Sounds
Note: This page contains IPA phonetic symbols in Unicode. See IPA chart for English for a pronunciation key.
Tagalog has 21 phonemes; 16 consonants and five vowels. Syllable structure is relatively simple. Each syllable contains at least a consonant and a vowel.
Vowels
Before the arrival of the Spanish, Tagalog had three vowel phonemes: /a/, /i/, and /u/. This was later expanded to five vowels with the introduction of Spanish words.
They are:
/a/ an open front unrounded vowel similar to English "father"
/ɛ/ an open-mid front unrounded vowel similar to English "bed"
/i/ a close front unrounded vowel similar to English "machine"
/o/ a close-mid back rounded vowel similar to English "forty"
/u/ a close back unrounded vowel similar to English "flute"
There are four main diphthongs; /aɪ/, /oɪ/, /aʊ/, and /iʊ/.
Consonants
Below is a chart of Tagalog consonants. All the stops are unaspirated. The velar nasal occurs in all positions including at the beginning of a word. Bilabial Dental /
Alveolar Palatal Velar Glottal
Stops Voiceless p t k - [ʔ]
Voiced b d g
Affricates Voiceless (ts, tiy) [tʃ]
Voiced (diy) [dʒ]
Fricatives s (siy) [ʃ] h
Nasals m n (ny, niy) [nj] ng [ŋ]
Laterals l (ly, liy) [lj]
Flaps r
Semivowels w y
Stress
Stress is phonemic in Tagalog. Primary stress occurs on either the last or the next-to-the-last (penultimate) syllable of a word. Vowel lengthening accompanies primary or secondary stress except when stress occurs at the end of a word.
Phonology
/a/ is raised slightly to [ɐ] in unstressed positions
Unstressed /i/ is usually pronounced [ɪ] as in English "bit"
At the end of a word, /i/ can be pronounced as [ɪ ~ i ~ e ~ ɛ].
/ɛ/ and /o/ can sometimes be pronounced as [i ~ ɪ ~ e] and [u ~ ʊ ~ ɔ].
Unstressed /u/ is usually pronounced [ʊ] as in English "book"
The diphthong /aɪ/ and the sequence /aʔi/ have a tendency to become [eɪ ~ ɛː].
The diphthong /aʊ/ and the sequence /aʔu/ have a tendency to become [oʊ ~ ɔː].
/k/ has a tendency to become [kx ~ x] between vowels as in German "bach"
/ɾ/ and /d/ are sometimes interchangeable as /ɾ/ and /d/ were once allophones in Tagalog.
A glottal stop that occurs at the end of a word is often omitted when it is in the middle of a sentence, especially in the Metro Manila area. The vowel it follows is then usually lengthened. However, it is preserved in many other dialects.
/o/ tends to become [ɔ] in stressed positions.
Historical sound changes
Tagalog differs from its Central Philippine counterparts with its treatment of the Proto-Philippine schwa vowel *ə. In Bikol & Visayan, this sound merged with /u/ and [o]. In Tagalog, it has merged with /i/. For example, Proto-Philippine *dəkət (adhere, stick) is Tagalog dikít and Visayan & Bikol dukot.
Proto-Philippine *r, *j, and *z merged with /d/ but is /l/ between vowels. Proto-Philippine *ngajan (name) and *hajək (kiss) became Tagalog ngalan and halík.
Proto-Philippine *R merged with /g/. *tubiR (water) and *zuRuʔ (blood) became Tagalog tubig and dugô.
Grammar

Writing system
Baybayin
Main article: Baybayin
Tagalog was written in an abugida called Baybayin prior to the arrival of the Spaniards in the 16th century. This particular writing system was composed of symbols representing three vowels and 14 consonants. Belonging to the Brahmic family of scripts, it shares similarities with the old Kavi script of Java and is believed to be descended from the script used by the Bugis in Sulawesi.
Although it enjoyed a relatively high level of literacy, the script gradually fell into disuse in favor of the Latin alphabet during Spanish colonial rule.
Latin alphabet
Main article: Tagalog alphabet
Until the first half of the 20th century, Tagalog was widely written in a variety of ways based on Spanish orthography. When Tagalog became the national language, grammarian Lope K. Santos introduced a new alphabet consisting of 20 letters called ABAKADA in school grammar books called balarilà; A B K D E G H I L M N NG O P R S T U W Y.
The alphabet was again expanded in 1976 to include the letters C, CH, F, J, Q, RR, V, X, and Z in order to accommodate words of Spanish and English origin.
The most recent reform of the alphabet occurred in 1987. The number of letters was reduced from 33 to 28; A B C D E F G H I J K L M N Ñ Ng O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z.
Diacritics
Diacritics are normally not written in everyday usage, be it in publications or personal correspondence. The teaching of diacritics is inconsistent in Filipino schools and many Filipinos do not know how to use them. However, diacritics are normally used in dictionaries and in textbooks aimed at teaching the languages to foreigners.
There are three kinds of diacritics used in Tagalog:
Acute accent or pahilís
Used to indicate primary or secondary stress on a particular syllable. It is usually omitted on words that are stressed on the penultimate syllable; talagá.
Grave accent or paiwà
Placed only on the last syllable. It indicates that there is a glottal stop at the end of the word and that penultimate syllable receives stress; mabutì.
Circumflex accent or pakupyâ
Placed only on the last syllable. It indicates that the final syllable of a word receives stress while there is a glottal stop that follows; sampû.
ng and mga
The genitive marker ng and the plural marker mga are abbreviations that are pronounced nang [naŋ] and mangá [mɐ'ŋa].
Vocabulary and borrowed words
Tagalog vocabulary is composed mostly of words of Austronesian origin with borrowings from Spanish, Min Nan Chinese (also known as Hokkien or Fujianese), Malay, Sanskrit, Arabic, Tamil, Persian, Kapampangan, languages spoken on Luzon, and others, especially other Austronesian languages.
English has borrowed some words from Tagalog, such as abaca, adobo, aggrupation, barong, balisong, boondocks, jeepney, Manila hemp, pancit, and yaya, although the vast majority of these borrowed words are only used in the Philippines as part of the vocabularies of Philippine English.

Contribution to other languages
Tagalog itself has contributed a few words into English. The word boondocks which means "rural" or "back country," was imported by American soldiers stationed in the Philippines as a mispronounced version of the Tagalog bundok, which means "mountain." Another word is cogon which is a type of grass, used for thatching. This word came from the Tagalog word kugon. There is also ylang-ylang, which is a type of flower known for its fragrance. Abaca is a type of hemp fiber made from a plant in the banana family, from abaká. Manila is a light brown cardboard material used for folders and paper usually made from abaca. Capiz, also known as window oyster, is used to make windows. A yo-yo is a toy. To run amok is to go on a killing rampage. Even the child's slang "kooties" comes from the common Austronesian and Tagalog kuto which literally means "head lice."
Tagalog has contributed several words to Spanish, like barangay (from balañgay meaning barrio), the abacá, cogon, palay, etc.

At patawarin Mo po kami sa aming mga sala,
para ng pagpapatawad namin sa mga nagsala sa amin.

At iadya Mo po kami sa lahat ng masama,
Amen.

Tagalog (pronunciation: [tɐˈgaːlog]) is one of the major languages of the Republic of the Philippines. It is the largest of the Philippine languages in terms of the number of speakers.
Tagalog, as its standardized counterpart, Filipino, is the principal language of the national media in the Philippines. It is the primary language of public education. It is, along with English, a co-official language and the sole national language. Tagalog is widely used as a lingua franca throughout the country, and in overseas Filipino communities. However, while Tagalog may be prevalent in those fields, English is more prevalent in fields such as government and business.

History
The word Tagalog was derived from tagá-ílog, from tagá- meaning "native of" and ílog meaning "river", thus, it means "river dweller." Since there are no surviving written samples of Tagalog before the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century, very little is known about the history of the language. However there is speculation among linguists that the ancestors of the Tagalogs originated, along with their Central Philippine cousins, from northeastern Mindanao or eastern Visayas.
The first known book to be written in Tagalog is the Doctrina Cristiana (Christian Doctrine) of 1593. It was written in Spanish and two versions of Tagalog; one written in Baybayin and the other in the Latin alphabet.
Throughout the 300 years of Spanish occupation, there have been grammars and dictionaries written by Spanish clergymen such as Vocabulario de Lengua Tagala by Pedro de San Buenaventura (Pila, Laguna, 1613), Vocabulario de la lengua tagala (1835) and Arte de la lengua tagala y manual tagalog para la adminstración de los Santos Sacramentos (1850).
Poet Francisco "Balagtas" Baltazar (1788-1862) is often regarded as the Tagalog equivalent of William Shakespeare. His most famous work is the early 19th-century Florante at Laura.
Classification
Tagalog is a Central Philippine language within the Austronesian language family. Being a Malayo-Polynesian it is related to other Austronesian languages such as Indonesian, Malay, Fijian, Maori (of New Zealand), Hawaiian, Malagasy (of Madagascar), Samoan, Tahitian, Chamorro (of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands), Tetum (of East Timor), and Paiwan (of Taiwan).
It is closely related to the languages spoken in the Bicol and Visayas regions such as Bikol, Hiligaynon, Waray-Waray, and Cebuano.
Languages that have made significant contributions to Tagalog are Spanish, Min Nan Chinese, English, Malay, Sanskrit (via Malay), Arabic (via Malay/Spanish), and Northern Philippine languages such as Kapampangan spoken on the island of Luzon.
Geographic distribution
The Tagalog homeland, or Katagalugan, covers roughly much of the central to southern parts of the island of Luzon - particularly in Aurora, Bataan, Batangas, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Metro Manila, Nueva Ecija, Quezon, and Rizal. Tagalog is also spoken natively by inhabitants living on the islands of Lubang, Marinduque, and the northern and eastern parts of Mindoro. According to the Philippine Census of 2000, 21,485,927 out of 76,332,470 Filipinos claimed Tagalog as their first language. An estimated 50 million Filipinos speak it in varying degrees of proficiency.
Tagalog speakers are to be found in other parts of the Philippines as well as throughout the world; it is the sixth most-spoken language in the United States.
Official status
After weeks of study and deliberation, Tagalog was chosen by the National Language Institute, a committee composed of seven members who represented various regions in the Philippines. President Manuel L. Quezon then proclaimed Tagalog the national language or wikang pambansâ of the Philippines on December 30, 1937. This was made official upon the Philippines' restoration of independence from the United States on July 4, 1946.
From 1961 to 1987, Tagalog was also known as Pilipino. In 1987, the name changed to Filipino.
Since 1940, Tagalog has been taught in schools throughout the Philippines. It is the only one out of over 160 Philippine languages that is officially used in schools.
Dialects
At present, no comprehensive dialectology has been done in the Tagalog-speaking regions, though there have been descriptions in the form of dictionaries and grammars on various Tagalog dialects. Ethnologue lists Lubang, Manila, Marinduque, Bataan, Batangas, Bulacan, Tanay-Paete, and Tayabas as dialects of Tagalog. However, there appear to be four main dialects of which the aforementioned are a part; Northern, Central (including Manila), Southern, and Marinduque.
Some example of dialectal differences are:
Many Tagalog dialects, particularly those in the south, preserve the glottal stop found after consonants and before vowels. This has been lost in standard Tagalog. For example standard Tagalog ngayon (now, today), sinigang (stew), gabi (night), matamis (sweet), are pronounced and written ngay-on, sinig-ang, gab-i, and matam-is in other dialects.
In Morong Tagalog, [r] is usually prefered over [d]. For example, bundók, dagat, dingdíng, and isdâ become bunrok, ragat, ringring, and isra.
In many southern dialects, the progressive aspect prefix of -um- verbs is na-. For example, standard Tagalog kumakain (eating) is nákáin in Quezon and Batangas Tagalog. This is the butt of some jokes by other Tagalog speakers since a phrase such as nakain ka ba ng pating is interpreted as "did a shark eat you?" by those from Manila but in reality means "do you eat shark?" to those in the south.
Some dialects have interjections which are a considered a trademark of their region. For example, the interjection ala eh usually identifies someone from Batangas while as does hani in Morong.
Perhaps the most divergent Tagalog dialects are those spoken in Marinduque. Linguist Rosa Soberano identifies two dialects, western and eastern with the former being closer to the Tagalog dialects spoken in the provinces of Batangas and Quezon.
One example are the verb conjugation paradigms. While some of the affixes are different, Marinduque also preserves the imperative affixes, also found in Visayan and Bikol languages, that have mostly disappeared from most Tagalog dialects by the early 20th century; they have since merged with the infinitive.
Standard Tagalog: Susulat sina Maria at Fulgencia kay Juan.
E. Marinduque Tagalog: Másúlat da Maria at Fulgencia kay Juan.
"Maria and Fulgencia will write to Juan."
ST: Mag-aaral siya sa Ateneo.
EM: Gaaral siya sa Ateneo.
"He will study at Ateneo."
ST: Magluto ka!
EM: Pagluto ka!
"Cook!"
ST: Kainin mo iyan.
EM: Kaina mo yaan.
"Eat that."
ST: Tinatawag ngâ tayo ni Tatay.
EM: Inatawag nganì kitá ni Tatay.
"Father is calling us indeed."
ST: Tutulungan ba kayó ni Hilarion?
EM: Atulungan ga kamo ni Hilarion?
"Will Hilarion help you (pl.)?"
Derived languages
Frequent contact between Tagalog speakers and Spanish speakers have given way to Philippine Creole Spanish or Chabacano. There are three known varieties of Chabacano which have Tagalog as their substrate language: Caviteño, Ternateño, and the extinct Ermitaño, spoken in Cavite City, Ternate, and Ermita, Manila, respectively.
Taglish and code-switching
Taglish is the name given to a mix of English and Tagalog. The amount of English in Tagalog ranges from simple loan words to outright code-switching where the language changes in midsentence; this is prevalent throughout the Philippines and various Philippine languages.
Nasirà ang computer ko kahapon!
"My computer broke down yesterday!"
Huwág kang maninigarilyo, because it is harmful to your health.
"Never smoke cigarettes, ..."
Although it is generally looked down upon, code-switching is prevalent in all levels of society, though urban-dwellers, those with high education, and those born around World War II are more likely to do it. Politicians, such as President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, have code-switched in interviews.
It is common in television, radio, and print media as well. In the US, advertisements from companies like Wells Fargo, Wal-Mart, Albertsons, and Western Union have contained Taglish.
The Chinese and the non-Tagalog communities also frequently code-switch their language, be it Cebuano or Min Nan Chinese, with Taglish.
Binaliktad
A kind of slang called binaliktád (reversed) is where the word is modified by changing around the syllables. . Equivalents in other languages are vesre, verlan, and Pig Latin. For example, tigás (hard, strong), dito (here), hindî (no), and sigarilyó (cigarettes) respectively become astíg, todits, dehins, and yosi.
Sounds
Note: This page contains IPA phonetic symbols in Unicode. See IPA chart for English for a pronunciation key.
Tagalog has 21 phonemes; 16 consonants and five vowels. Syllable structure is relatively simple. Each syllable contains at least a consonant and a vowel.
Vowels
Before the arrival of the Spanish, Tagalog had three vowel phonemes: /a/, /i/, and /u/. This was later expanded to five vowels with the introduction of Spanish words.
They are:
/a/ an open front unrounded vowel similar to English "father"
/ɛ/ an open-mid front unrounded vowel similar to English "bed"
/i/ a close front unrounded vowel similar to English "machine"
/o/ a close-mid back rounded vowel similar to English "forty"
/u/ a close back unrounded vowel similar to English "flute"
There are four main diphthongs; /aɪ/, /oɪ/, /aʊ/, and /iʊ/.
Consonants
Below is a chart of Tagalog consonants. All the stops are unaspirated. The velar nasal occurs in all positions including at the beginning of a word. Bilabial Dental /

Nasals m n (ny, niy) [nj] ng [ŋ]
Laterals l (ly, liy) [lj]
Flaps r
Semivowels w y
Stress
Stress is phonemic in Tagalog. Primary stress occurs on either the last or the next-to-the-last (penultimate) syllable of a word. Vowel lengthening accompanies primary or secondary stress except when stress occurs at the end of a word.
Phonology
/a/ is raised slightly to [ɐ] in unstressed positions
Unstressed /i/ is usually pronounced [ɪ] as in English "bit"
At the end of a word, /i/ can be pronounced as [ɪ ~ i ~ e ~ ɛ].
/ɛ/ and /o/ can sometimes be pronounced as [i ~ ɪ ~ e] and [u ~ ʊ ~ ɔ].
Unstressed /u/ is usually pronounced [ʊ] as in English "book"
The diphthong /aɪ/ and the sequence /aʔi/ have a tendency to become [eɪ ~ ɛː].
The diphthong /aʊ/ and the sequence /aʔu/ have a tendency to become [oʊ ~ ɔː].
/k/ has a tendency to become [kx ~ x] between vowels as in German "bach"
/ɾ/ and /d/ are sometimes interchangeable as /ɾ/ and /d/ were once allophones in Tagalog.
A glottal stop that occurs at the end of a word is often omitted when it is in the middle of a sentence, especially in the Metro Manila area. The vowel it follows is then usually lengthened. However, it is preserved in many other dialects.
/o/ tends to become [ɔ] in stressed positions.
Historical sound changes
Tagalog differs from its Central Philippine counterparts with its treatment of the Proto-Philippine schwa vowel *ə. In Bikol & Visayan, this sound merged with /u/ and [o]. In Tagalog, it has merged with /i/. For example, Proto-Philippine *dəkət (adhere, stick) is Tagalog dikít and Visayan & Bikol dukot.
Proto-Philippine *r, *j, and *z merged with /d/ but is /l/ between vowels. Proto-Philippine *ngajan (name) and *hajək (kiss) became Tagalog ngalan and halík.
Proto-Philippine *R merged with /g/. *tubiR (water) and *zuRuʔ (blood) became Tagalog tubig and dugô.
Grammar

Writing system
Baybayin
Main article: Baybayin
Tagalog was written in an abugida called Baybayin prior to the arrival of the Spaniards in the 16th century. This particular writing system was composed of symbols representing three vowels and 14 consonants. Belonging to the Brahmic family of scripts, it shares similarities with the old Kavi script of Java and is believed to be descended from the script used by the Bugis in Sulawesi.
Although it enjoyed a relatively high level of literacy, the script gradually fell into disuse in favor of the Latin alphabet during Spanish colonial rule.
Latin alphabet
Main article: Tagalog alphabet
Until the first half of the 20th century, Tagalog was widely written in a variety of ways based on Spanish orthography. When Tagalog became the national language, grammarian Lope K. Santos introduced a new alphabet consisting of 20 letters called ABAKADA in school grammar books called balarilà; A B K D E G H I L M N NG O P R S T U W Y.
The alphabet was again expanded in 1976 to include the letters C, CH, F, J, Q, RR, V, X, and Z in order to accommodate words of Spanish and English origin.
The most recent reform of the alphabet occurred in 1987. The number of letters was reduced from 33 to 28; A B C D E F G H I J K L M N Ñ Ng O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z.
Diacritics
Diacritics are normally not written in everyday usage, be it in publications or personal correspondence. The teaching of diacritics is inconsistent in Filipino schools and many Filipinos do not know how to use them. However, diacritics are normally used in dictionaries and in textbooks aimed at teaching the languages to foreigners.
There are three kinds of diacritics used in Tagalog:
Acute accent or pahilís
Used to indicate primary or secondary stress on a particular syllable. It is usually omitted on words that are stressed on the penultimate syllable; talagá.
Grave accent or paiwà
Placed only on the last syllable. It indicates that there is a glottal stop at the end of the word and that penultimate syllable receives stress; mabutì.
Circumflex accent or pakupyâ
Placed only on the last syllable. It indicates that the final syllable of a word receives stress while there is a glottal stop that follows; sampû.
ng and mga
The genitive marker ng and the plural marker mga are abbreviations that are pronounced nang [naŋ] and mangá [mɐ'ŋa].
Vocabulary and borrowed words
Tagalog vocabulary is composed mostly of words of Austronesian origin with borrowings from Spanish, Min Nan Chinese (also known as Hokkien or Fujianese), Malay, Sanskrit, Arabic, Tamil, Persian, Kapampangan, languages spoken on Luzon, and others, especially other Austronesian languages.
English has borrowed some words from Tagalog, such as abaca, adobo, aggrupation, barong, balisong, boondocks, jeepney, Manila hemp, pancit, and yaya, although the vast majority of these borrowed words are only used in the Philippines as part of the vocabularies of Philippine English.

Contribution to other languages
Tagalog itself has contributed a few words into English. The word boondocks which means "rural" or "back country," was imported by American soldiers stationed in the Philippines as a mispronounced version of the Tagalog bundok, which means "mountain." Another word is cogon which is a type of grass, used for thatching. This word came from the Tagalog word kugon. There is also ylang-ylang, which is a type of flower known for its fragrance. Abaca is a type of hemp fiber made from a plant in the banana family, from abaká. Manila is a light brown cardboard material used for folders and paper usually made from abaca. Capiz, also known as window oyster, is used to make windows. A yo-yo is a toy. To run amok is to go on a killing rampage. Even the child's slang "kooties" comes from the common Austronesian and Tagalog kuto which literally means "head lice."
Tagalog has contributed several words to Spanish, like barangay (from balañgay meaning barrio), the abacá, cogon, palay, etc.
Examples
The Lord's Prayer (Ama Namin)
Ama namin, sumasalangit ka,
Sambahin ang Ngalan Mo.
Mapasaamin ang kaharian Mo,
Sundin ang loob Mo
dito sa lupa para ng sa langit.
Bigyan mo po kami ng aming kakanin sa araw-araw.
At patawarin Mo po kami sa aming mga sala,
para ng pagpapatawad namin sa mga nagsala sa amin.
At huwag Mo po kaming ipahintulot sa tukso,
At iadya Mo po kami sa lahat ng masama,
Amen.

One Response to “Nightingale’s Hymn”
Two Responses to “Nightingale’s Hymn”
Say, you take a book. An old book which has been read a lot. I gave you a book with the same color, so you guessed very well what it will be all inside the book. You’re that hesitate. Urgeing at the top wish to read, but arguing youself as you knew what it would be. So, with such bitter smile you just stare at the book in your hand, time on, while your mind explore anythings else. Fortunately you’re nightingale could sing such lovely sad song. But how about am a vulture? If I sing so, lions may ran away. Indeed. Sincerely this poem inspired me a lot. But how do be do be do?
eman - April 1, 2008 at 3:41 pm
I love to read this poem a lot, word by word. While Nat King Cole sings Stardust. Until I kept all of them in my mind. It’s so touchy.

Tatang Itok
"His way of life became the greatest influence in my own. What I admired most about him was the fact that he was a respected figure in our place despite his lack of education and his simplicity. It is from him that I learned to believe in my worth and uniqueness, and to be confident in both my strength and weakness. He instilled in me that being poor doesn’t make one lesser than anybody else. He made me believe that simplicity is not poverty. One has to value his own person before others can do the same. It was he who showed me that the way to know how you are as a person could be seen through the amount of respect other people bestowed on you. Its not the bulk of resources or amount of money that you own that would earn you respect from others. Respecting people as well as one’s self defies the feeling of being inferior to the others who enjoys more comfort in life. He made me see that knowing what you can and cannot do would make you comfortable to co-exist with others who believe in different things, and who thinks in different way."
What a promised fairy story. You must be a very happy during childhood. Fortunatelly if you have such a problem, you just switched it off and just go into the homeland. You still could enjoy the landspace will lead you into such happily pasttime minus the presence of a beloving Tatang Itok. I never have a joyy story like this, since both of my grandpa perished away at 1935 and 1945. Especially all the landspace are all changed at all. Mostly our rice field changes into such housing or some city developing.
Now I have to understand deeply. Since, "My punishments would be his silence. He won’t talk to me until I realize my mistakes. I have to tell him what I thought to be the wrong action I made, with a suggested course of action for the next time, and apologize to everyone for my selfish actions." Thanks indeed for such lovely sharing. I have such imagine, enjoyed in learning from this article a lot.
"As I came to the conclusion of this article, I can’t help feeling that deep longing to be with the person who was the greatest influence of my life one more time. So many times in my adult life that I long for those days when he was still around. I still missed his presence after all these years. Sometimes, I wish he’s here, even for just a day. Even for just one more day."
I wish to say, I would so to be atleast that one day grandpa's in my own. A grandpa's spirit in darling you at all your wishes with mine.
