The languages of the Philippines are one of the many characteristics that make this country so unique. Students here are all taught English in school as well as their region's language and what results is a truly original blended language. Unlike other countries where English is only a part of the classroom, Filipinos implement English in their lives daily. Similar to Spanglish, where traces of English surface usually through nouns and occasional verbs, Taglish, as its known here also borrows nouns and verbs but sometimes takes a whole sentence of English, putting it between a Tagalog paragraph.

Spanish speakers will be able to read many of the signs in Tagalog as the Spanish conquest left not only several churches here but a strong grounding of their language. In fact, in some areas of the Philippines, more than 50% of the language is based on Spanish. Sometimes the pronunciation changes a little along with the spelling as the Filipino alphabet has only 20 letters but in general, they understand some spoken Spanish.
