Taglish

    The Filipinos don't speak Tagalog. They don't speak English. They speak Taglish. 

    Since Tagalog and English are both national languages, the Filipinos have decided to speak a mixture. They speak Tagalog and then throw in English words, phrases, or even whole sentences at what I think is random. I am not sure if certain words are only in English, or Tagalog. Maybe it is words that didn't get to become Tagalog words because of colonization. Oh, and I think that there is also a little Spanish sprinkled in as well. Probably because both Spain and the US were Filipino colonizers.
