The Tagalog language, due to extensive contacts with outsiders and foreigners, has developed a unique vocabulary utilizing words from its own Austronesian roots and also from other foreign languages. According to the linguistic expert Jose Villa Panganiban, "of the 30,000 root words in the Tagalog language, there are 5,000 from Spanish, 3,200 from Malay, 1,500 from both Min Nan and Yueh Chinese dialects, 1,500 from English, 300 from Sanskrit, 200 from Arabic, and a few hundred altogether from Mexican, Persian, Japanese, and other languages". Some linguists claim that borrowings from Malay cannot be ascertained at this time, as words which have come from the Old Austronesian language and those which are borrowed from Malay are still ambiguous and similar enough to be distinguished from each other, but some linguists studying the Malay language came to recognize semantic cognates with other Austronesian words, thereby classifying some others to be of Malay provenance.

[edit] English

English has been used in everyday Tagalog conversation. This kind of conversation is called Taglish. English words borrowed by Tagalog are modern and technical terms. But, English words are also used for short usage (many Tagalog words translated from English are very long) or to avoid literal translation that makes the meaning bad and repetition of the same particular Tagalog word. English makes the second largest vocabulary of Tagalog after Spanish. In written language, English words in a Tagalog sentence are written as they are. But, they are sometimes written through Tagalog transliteration. Here are some examples:

  • Basket - basket
  • Basketbol - basketball
  • Breyk - break

[edit] Spanish

Spanish is the language that has bequeathed the most loan words to Tagalog. According to linguists, Spanish (5,000) has even surpassed Malayo-Indonesian (3,500) in terms of loan words borrowed. Although Spanish and Tagalog are entirely different languages, they have become somewhat mutually intelligible, albeit with much difficulty on the Spanish-speakers' side. About 40% of everyday (informal) Tagalog conversation is practically made up of Spanish loanwords. An example is the sentence below, wherein Spanish-derived words are italicized:

Puwede ba akong umupo sa silya sa tabi ng bintana habang nasa biyahe tayo sa eroplano? (Can I sit in the seat nearest the window in the duration of our trip in the airplane?)

In this list, the borrowed Spanish terms of various countries and nationalities have not been included. Also, most Spanish terms borrowed by Tagalog in specific technical fields such as Medicine and Law have not been included due to space limitations.
