Your Native Language

[kate_49]

Filipino. XD

[Elika12]

You should also put Portuguese(Brazilian).
Everyone thinks is the same thing but is not.
Like they write detective like this: "Detetive".

Another example:

English: "How are you?"
Brazilian: "Como é que está você?"
Portuguese: "Como é que estás?"

Is different.

Italian.

I will study chinese.
I particular i'm study english with your subtitle of Conan, traslation of manga and with this forum.
And i'm study japanese and in future chinese with on-line course because i live in a small town and here there aren't teachers of japanese or chinese or english.

Abs. is Filipino?

Filipino = more formal, used in schools, offices, etc.
Tagalog = less formal, used in the streets, in homes, etc.

At least that's what I'm told. There are no grammar/spelling differences anyway.

Yeah, I'm going by the "official languages" of countries, rather than what they're derived from, even if there aren't many differences.

Several thousand, if I want to do every language in the world!

...Then you've got to take off Chinese (Cantonese)

[dilbertschalter]

...Then you've got to take off Chinese (Cantonese)

+Javanese and Sundanese if so. I did phrase that rather poorly, what I meant was that I was going with the "official language" rather than an identical dialect that was unofficial. Cantonese and Mandarin are much, much more different than Filipino and Tagalog (as posters above have noted, Filipino and Tagalog are just about the same thing).

[kate_49]

no... filipino and tagalog are different... Filipino is our native language, that includes all dialect... tagalog is only a DIALECT... btw... Abs. are you a Filipino??

[dilbertschalter]

But Tagalog is the dialect that contributes the most to Filipino, correct?

[kate_49]

yes... most filipinos use it...
