Change Tagalog to Filipino

Idea: Change Tagalog to Filipino

Tagalog is the basis of the Filipino language, but from time to time, directors of the Institute for National Language of the Philippines update the dictionaries. Before many dictionary authors only entitled their books like these: Tagalog-English/English to Tagalog Dictionary.

Keep in mind that “Filipino” is the national language of the Philippines. If the tutor is a Tagalog (meaning he/she lives in one of the tagalogs-speaking provinces), then perhaps there is a sub-dialect. To illustrate:Category: Language/Test Prep/Other Subject:FILIPINO Dialect: Add it to edufire Rate: 1 hour/2hours Save.

Remember: Even American English has its own aspects. Remember! Aside from American English subject, there is Branglish, Canadian English etc.

In short, I want specific subjects. Thanks

Confusing. "Filipino" is a name you call for the citizens of the Philippines. In the curriculum, the subject is called "Pilipino" BUT,.. we use, discuss, taught grammar in "Tagalog" dialect only.. whether you are in other part of Luzon, Visayas or Mindanao. Dozens of dialects are all called "Pilipino".. maybe we could just categorized the lessons into : Pilipino-Visayan, Pilipino-Ilocano, Pilipino-Cebuano, Pilipino-Tagalog... etc. How about that?. Just my point of view. Thank you. -Ania

I say no to this idea. Tutors should instead emphasize the many dialects when they teach their students. But having subdialects in the language menu would extremely confusing for prospective students and would lead to revenue loss among tutors who only speak a certain dialect of said language. Keeping it general is much better. Also, bad example: Regardless of the dialect, English is still English.

Besides, may I remind you that Tagalog is not just spoken in the Philippines, but also in the United States, Australia, Canada, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom.

Sorry I forgot, that Section 6 belongs to Article XIV (Education, Science and Technology,Arts, Culture, and Sports) of the 1986 Constitution of the Philippines.

I'm a Filipino myself and even though "Filipino" is the official term for Tagalog, Filipinos rarely say "I speak Filipino" whenever somebody asks what their language is so I disagree with you Rholu. "Tagalog" is the most common term used and is actually a good distinction from other Filipino dialects.
