Hello! Kamusta! For the second half of Term 1, our language in focus is the fantastic language of Filipino!
Filipino is the national language of the Philippines, and it is the first language of 28 million people, which is about 1/3 of the total population of the country. An additional 45 million people speak it as their second language.
Did you know - the Philippines has more than 7,000 islands and more than 180 distinct languages are spoken between them! A number of these languages are mutually intelligible (meaning that they are similar enough that two speakers could understand each other) but there are many that are hugely different.
Salamat (thank you) to our BIS Filipino experts for their help in sharing all about Filipino language and culture. Read on below to learn more!
