Top 10 Languages Spoken in Philippines 

Which is the most pleasant to your ears? 🤔😊

Born in Hawaii. Brought up only learning Ilocano. Family is from Northern Provinces and Mountain Provinces of PI. Now live in California. Wish I knew Tagalog, but I am Ilocano strong and proud!

Cebuano/Bisaya are the largest ethnic language in the Philippines

andaming hindi nakakaalam kung ano pinagkaiba ng diyalekto sa wika. lahat ng nabanggit ay wika. yung diyalekto ay baryasyon ng wika na naiintindihan pa din ng kapwa nagsasalita nito bagamat magkaiba ang diyalekto. Halimbawa. 1. Wikang Bicol ay may iba't ibang diyalekto.. may baryasyon nito sa Catanduanes, Albay at Sorsogon 2. Ang Wikang Binisaya ay nagkakaroon ng baryasyong Boholano na bahagyang iba sa Cebuano. Ito'y mga diyalekto. 3. Ang WikangTagalog ay ganun din. Bahagyang naiiba ang baryasyon ng Tagalog na nasa Maynila sa makalumang Tagalog ng Batangas. Nag-iiba sa bokabularyo ang mga Batangueño at paraan ng pananalita. Ang ginulo ay nagiging hinalukay, ang maghanda ay nagiging gumayak, ang umuulan ay nagiging naulan, ang kumakain ay nagiging nakain. Gayun din naman ang baryasyon ng Tagalog sa Marinduque. Bagaman naiiba ng kaunti ay nagkakaintindihan pa din ang mga kapwa nagtatagalog

I'm naturally born Filipino but I can speak Japanese, Korean, Arabic, English, Tagalog, Cebuano at illongo! Proud Pinay here 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

"Two languages where speakers can understand each other are considered dialects of the same language, whereas two languages where the speakers cannot understand each other are, indeed, separate languages" - Marc Ettlinger, Ph.D., linguistics, UC-Berkeley

French , tagalog , bisaya and IIocano cause I’m born in France and my parents r born in the Philippines my mom is IIocana and my dad is bisaya :) Proud for being a Filipino 🇵🇭

Chavacano is very intresting because it's the only spanish-based creole language in the Philippines. I wonder if it is easier for a native chavacano speaker to learn proper spanish. Any chavacano speakers here?

I understood 90% of the Chavacano( I am from Spain)...I knew in Spain a Filipino who spoke Chavacano and Tagalo..well he learnt fluent spanish in few months! also many Tagalo words are similar in Spanish.

Buenas noches na todo mio amigos y amigas aqui na entero mundo. Yo si Bench desde ciudad de Zamboanga, Pilipinas. Sabe yo conversa Chavacano. I just want to say something about the differences and similarities between Chavacano and Spanish. Most of the Chavacano words originated from Spanish. However they (Chavacano and Spanish) differ in terms of grammar. Spanish is conjugated, but Chavacano is not conjugated. For instance: Quiero comer platano. (Spanish) Quiere yo come saging. (Chavacano) I want to eat banana. (English) Now, take a look, the root word of "Quiero is querer (in Spanish), or (quiere in Chavacano). So, "yo" means "I" both in Spanish and Chavacano. Furthermore, "quiero" is a conjugated form of "querer and "yo" (in Spanish), or "quiere yo" (in Chavacano that is not conjugated) which means "I want". Continuously, there are Chavacano words which are not originated from Spanish such as "saging" (Tagalog), which means banana in English; "baulu" (Tausug's native cake), and there are also some words came from different languages like Visayan and English. According to John Chambers & Salvador Wee (2003) that many Spanish words are being dropped out by the new generation speakers and being replaced by Visayan, Tagalog, Tausug, etc. However, they produced an English-Chavacano Dictionary to make the Original Chavacano living and growing as one of the Filipino languages in the Philippines. Finally, about 90% of Chavacano words originated from Spanish yet not all Spanish words have Chavacano equivalent because Spanish has rich in vocabulary compared to Chavacano. Muchisimas gracias con vosotros... Dios te bendiga...

I'm from Davao City, Philippines and my mother tongue is Bisaya-Bisaya gyud kong dako-in school they taught us English and Tagalog. Later, my interest in learning Spanish led me to learn also Chavacano- habla Español y Chavacano pero solo un poco... ;-) I hope I can also go, study, and live in Zamboanga City!

based on my observation as a Tagalog speaker: Ilocano-fast speakers, Hiligaynon-Malambing.. Bicolano-walang accent pag nagTagalog, buo. Kapampangan-(my 3rd language) may konting Spanish Waray-parang galit Cebuano-sarap sa Ears Chavacano-'sosyal' pakinggan Pangasinense-parang Ilocano

Proud to be WARAYNON here~~♡♡

Los Filipinos que hablan Chavacano, tienen una gran oportunidad de aprender el Español al 100% pues casi todo lo que dijeron les entendí, Saludos desde México.

Im not sure if the ranking is correct. Tagalog and English are in the top 2 because they are the mediums of instruction in school from Kindergarten onwards. If based on the number of native speakers, I think Cebuano, would probably rank #1 as it is the dominant language in 6 regions in Visayas and Mindanao, and has substantial number of speakers in two other regions.

I came from mindanao from caraga region i can speak Arabic, malay , I can speak mandarin, I can speak taiwanes, English but i love my language filipino language kahit anong mangyari walang makakapagbago sa sariling pambansang wika ko bilang filipina i am proud to be a filipina,,, happy new year to all

There are several varieties (dialects) of Ilocano, each having its own “ayug” (accent), pronunciation, and vocabulary. The Amianan (Northern) dialects, and Abagan (Southern) dialects, The Highland accent and Lowland accent, The Sweet pronunciation / accent, Hard pronunciation / accent and Neutral pronunciation / accent.

As a fellow Filipino my mom and dad lived in the Philippines but moved to hawaii my mom speak IIocano while my dad maybe Tagalog but my mom is try to teach me how to speak IIocano. Because I only know how to speak English but I'm 11 years old now I'm willing learn other filipino languages:)🇵🇭

I speak Tagalog because my mon is Filipina And I speak korean because my father is korean I can also speak English. My mother is Filipina from the province of Isabela so I know how to speak Ilocano My father also leaves in Gyeonggi do province of Korea and soon go to Seoul and so I know some Gyonggi do dialect. Overall I can speak Tagalog (Opo, marunong akong mag Tagalog) English (Aha, since I'm 9 yrs. Old) Korean (한극어) Ilocano (Wen ammuk ag Ilocano) Gyeongi Dialect (경기도)

I am proud Cebuana here "Bisaya Language" Then learn how to speak in English, a little Spanish and a little Arabic here in Saudi Arabia.

I was born on Mindanao, but moved to Europe as a baby. I've only recently tried learning some Filipino, and I was surprised to see how much all these languages actually differ! Still I can speak Dutch, English, French and a little German :)

I would rank English as number 1 because filipinos speak their dialects first paired with english so definitely a bigger percentage of filipinos are speaking english conversationally everyday.. Not everyone speaks tagalog everyday although everyone understands it.

Thank you for calling the Pangasinan language Pangasinanse and not PangalaTOK. I truly appreciate it ✌🏽👌🏽👏🏽🙌🏽👍🏽

The cebuano example is way too conyo.

MY BELOVED COUNTRY PHILIPPINES HOW I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dialects: Australian English American English British English These are dialects because Australians are still able to undestand American English. Same can be said for Americans understanding Australian English. If you can’t understand a language then that’s what makes it a different language no matter how much similarities they have. I speak Bicol, Tagalog, and English and I could tell that Tagalog speakers can’t understand Bicol. There can be a lot of differences! Tagalog: “Mas mabilis kaya akong tumakbo kaysa sa’yo” Bicol: “Mas marabas akong magdalagan kaysa sa imo. There’s some similarities but you can’t really understand them. Bicol and Bisaya or the others however have dialects in close cities or areas. Meaning that places or towns about 20 miles away from you may still be speaking the same language, there might be some slight differences but you are still able to understand them. Philippines can be complicated when it comes to languages, but they can be easy to learn if you know how to speak Tagalog or any languages from the country. 😉

When it comes to number of speaker in Ilokano the whole Region 1,Car, 2 and northern Region 3 speaks Ilokano.

Marami talaga ang bisaya sa mindanao at sa visayas

This is my first time to here that Ilocano was spoken in Hawaii

I am a Tausug from Zamboanga City. I can speak Tausug, Sama, Tagalog, Chavacano, Visayan, and American English. However, among the six languages in the Philippines that I know how, Chavacano is my favorite... El Chavacano es mio favorito por causa bien vale ta oi y tiene un poquito Espanol/Spanish. Saludos des de Ciudad de Zamboanga. Muchisimas Gracias!

Bakit ang daming comments na komokontra sa video na to. Tama naman po ung title. Kaya nga tayo may National Language, kasi marami tayong ibat-ibang language.

illonggo tlga pinaka magandang accent napaka lambing proud to be illonggo

Bisaaya is the largest in the Philippines Most of Mindanao Central Visayas Parts of Eastern Visayas Parts of Palawan Parts of Quezon province in Luzon Parts of Masbate The second largest population is in Luzon

My mom is pure ilongga born in south Cotabato. My dad is pure ilonggo born in North Cotabato. But currently live here Davao where it's bisaya 😂

Chavacano the Best!!

Chavacano is my lingua franca. No debia considera como ordinario dialecto el lenguage del mi ciudad de Zamboanga. Unico latino ciudad de Asia. Gracias.

Did you know that even in mindanao theres a lot of ilokano speakers in mindanao specefically in sultan kudarat in southern cotabato.

LOUD & PROUD TO BE AN ILOCANO 🤟🏼✨

Hehe, I'm from Pangasinan and I speak the language. It's just quite sad that our language isn't that much represented in this vid in terms of the sample video language content, but I like how the overall content was standardized and organized. So I just thought, Pangasinan youtubers where art thou? Haha.

The difference of language and dialect depends on which book you follow. In fact, there is no single fact of how dialects exist in linguistic approach. Opinion: We all came from a much lesser group of people, which speak lesser amount of language and vocabulary as to compare today. As we spread around the world, so as our language differs from the other. Changes in language happen due to geographic, political, socioeconomic, security, physical capability (inclusion of sign language) and other factors. It all happens through time. As unlimited and diverse as the universe, so is our way of communication. Now that the era of computers are here, humans also tend to create languages for machines to understand. Opinion:Opinion:Opinion: So to compare dialect vs language. We have to sight 1 base language in order to come up with its "dialects" (variants). Examples - Language (dialects): -English (American, British) -American (Southern, Eastern) -Filipino (Tagalog, Visayan) -Tagalog (Bulacan, Batangas) -Visayan (Cebu, Davao) -Chinese (Mandarin, Cantonese) -Spanish (Mexican, Spain) and so on... More Opinions: We also noticed that North Korean stuck to the old vocabulary which is now different to the modernized South Korean language, due to politics and social advancements. Also as a programmer, I knew some of these examples: -Software (Visual Basic, C) -Database (MariaDB, MySQL) -OS (Unix, DOS) 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I am a FILIPINO I speak my native language is Ilocano But I also speak Tagalog, English And Spanish Diversity all in one 😊

Tingog namo mga cebuano/bisaya :D lol

i am so happy you included chavacano... i love my language (yeah it is a language not just a dialect)

Thanks for sharing this video!😇

Me cebuano or bisaya Proud ko nga bisaya ko taga leyte ko

Iba talaga accent ng ilonggo/hiligaynon kasi parang hindi kami galit mag salita hahah

I speak Tagalog, Bisaya, English and Japanese

Muchas gracias! It's good that Chavacano is in the list. A native speaker here. ❤

Thank you for the feature ❤️

Nice video... Thanks for the information... Love from Kerala, India... ( But I am in Dubai now )

Im from Iloilo, Hiligaynon/ilonggo ang laguage namon. Malalambing talaga mag salita mga taga iloilo thats why Tinawag na city of Love. Basta mga ilonggo ma pinalanggaon ma buot kag maatipanon gid na yah! 😘

I can speak Ilokano, Ilonggo, Maguindanaon, bisaya, Tagalog tausog and also my own mother tounge M'ranáo.

And sprinkled in all the dialects of the Philippines is Spanish. 400 years of Spanish rule has made a huge impact on Philippine culture and language. Traditions as well. The Philippines and Mexico are very similar countries in my opinion.

what about kankanaey/igorot.. proud to be a Igorot /Filipino....

My main language is hiligaynon.. I learn Filipino and English at school... bisaya by my friends, a little bit Spanish at home and Arabic abroad.. Wala Lang share ko Lang..

A lot of peole keep saying these are Philippine dialects, where in fact these are Philippine languages!

Any language they speak in Philippines. I love that country is so beautiful place

Bisaya is spoken in some areas in luzon and many areas in visayas and mindanao. I believe it is the most spoken language in the philippines.

*What language do they speak in Baguio! Watch my BAGUIO CITY VLOG! My FIRST VLOG ever!* *Link:* ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vT--wGKIJWM.html

There are many more dialects in the Philippines. You can perhaps go to Cordillera and learn the different tribal dialects. Mindanao also has different tribal dialects. More power.

English is still the number one language spoken. It is taught in schools from day one all over the Philippines. Next is bisaya, a language spoken in visayas and mindanao. The third is tagalog , the spoken language of manila and neighboring areas. Ilokano is spoken in northern luzon while bikolano is in souther luzon.

Proud Ilonggo here who can speak Hiligaynon, Cebuano, Tagalog, English, Spanish, and Ilocano (a bit).

Bicolano ako... Dios mabalos sa imo na naggibo kaining video, hehehe,, Go go go bicolano!!!

Chavacano now is a language. We consider it our language, not yours but ours. So stop telling us its not a language. It is our language. It is the only thing with romance language imfluence.

Spanish Taglish English Tagalog Cebuano/Bisaya Ilonggo/hiligaynon Waray and also we never notice that we speak our dialects theres a mix of Malay, Indonesian language,bicol Japanese and Chinese. Kung sa Tagalog, kami mga pinoy halo2 lenguahe namin d namin alam na may words kami sinasabi pero ibang lenguahe na pala yun sa ibang bansa.

If we got no english today i think Tagalog and Bisaya are the official language today. We can add Ilocano in it coz north luzon is predominantly using Ilokano in their region. I speak Tagalog and English sadly i can't speak Aklanon and Ilokano coz my parents didn't pass the language to us but i really appreciate our languages, it makes us unique and cool.

How about.. muslim mindanao bro????? what.. you just forgot about our Filipino Muslims.. thats it! We also have a big popolulation of maranao spraking filipinos bro. even other filipino muslim tribes like iranon,magindanaon knows and understand maranao dialect. Pls let us remember that we also have filipino muslim which lives here for a very long time as a Filipino citizens here,this is also their motherland. Pls know your facts and our true history. Thank you.

You missed the point in hiligaynon we may be a branch of hiligaynon but 4 provinces speaks different dialects..ILOILO speaks ilonggo(can both referring to their dialects or its people),Aklan speaks akyeanon more Ae Ea Ei sounds(my friend tough me but I gave up on them it's difficult to pronounce it if you are not a native from aklan),Antique speaks Kinaray-a(our dialects have so much letter R and some words may be different from town to town like sayod,kado,lapot,pigaw which only one meaning,poor quality or bad quality),however I cannot say for Capiz if they have their own dialect branched out from hiligaynon 😁😊

Proud to be ilocano and bicolano

Yes! Hiligaynon, south cotabato here!

The socio-linguistic geography of the Philippines is so interesting, and so diverse and complex. I wonder if Quezon should've also included Visaya as one of the official languages, along with Tagalog, English and Spanish (Spanish until the 1970s of course). Maybe having three levels of official languages could have been structured: 1. Tagalog and Visaya. 2. Your regional/provincial dialect. 3. English and/or Spanish. Or... 1. Tagalog, English. 2. Visaya, Spanish. 3. Regional/provincial dialect/language. Despite all the major languages, Tagalog and Visaya are the most widely spoken, each one a kind of 'binding' or common language within its respective region -- north and south. When traveling from province to province in Luzon, Tagalog can easily be the common form of communication between two different speakers. The same when going from island to island in the Visayas, Visaya/Cebuano is more or less the 'go to' language.

I speak tagalog,english,bisaya,hiligaynon and japanese

Can Bicolano and Cebuano conversate fluidly, I mean can they understand each other easily? Like Tagalog and Kapampangan, they really can't understand each other, unless they speak slowly and pay attention really hard. I know Pangasinan and Ilocano though right next to eachother, are two completely different languages, so if the other person does not know the language of the other they will not understand each other unless of course they speak Tagalog or English. How about Ilongo and Davaoeno, can they understand each other easily if they speak their local Language?

I speak english and tagalog only

chabacano i like to hear

Waray here🙋

I wish they would bring back the spanish language in our curriculum. Technically, spanish was suppose to be the official language of the Philippines. I speak a little because my grandparents are fluent and I am deeply saddened that a lot of Filipinos today are either not aware that Filipinos before spoke spanish or just don't like or are completely ignorant towards it. I've learned to appreciate and love the language. Amongst all 22 countries that Spain had colonized, we are the only country that had forgotten the spanish language. Hope it is taught again and spread throughout the nation again one day.

Ilocano aq pero chavacano ang pinakamasarap pakinggan .. para sakin

I only speak Tagalog Bicol Sorsogani and.. English Bicol: Yaon diyan Sorsogani: Yada idto Tagalog: Nandiyan yon English: It was there... Also speak Spanish 😁

Mostly ang modern na ga bisiya kay ga mix na ang accent ug language. "Tag pila diay nia? Tag twenty-one?" "Mahal naman kaayo man/ayy" "Ay naman, kaapila naman tika ignon?" "Hatagi ko ana di?" Instead of "bi" And so more daghan kaayo. Maayo nalang na Kagay-anon kay kabalo mag bisaya na lalom (Native Cebuano).

I’m don’t even speak Chavacano but because of Spanish I understood everything ahhaha Mine are Hiligaynon(from my dad, Iloilo)and Caraya(my mum, from San Joaquinan a province that is an hour away from Iloilo))

I speak Tagalog.. English.. Korean10% Japan 3% Tausug,, iyakan.. Samar,, Arabic, Indonesian, Malaysian.. I was born in Sabah Malaysia.. Until I'm 8 we migrate to Philippines.. I visit Korean.. For 1 year.. I go to Saudi too.. . I go to Japan too. For just 3 8 months..

I agreed with this. 💯% accurate.

I'm from Antique, and though we can understand and speak Hiligaynon, we have our own distinct language called Kinaray-a/Karay-a which is also similar to Hiligaynon but have a stronger accent and some word differences. Some towns in the southern portion have a similar accent to Hiligaynon, Towns in the northern part have similarities to Aklanon and the standard kinaray-a speakers are in the Capital town of Antique and other nearby towns.

Cebuano is the second most popular language in Philippines. all muslim knows how to speak bisaya in mindanao and in Visayas.... most knows how to speak bisaya as a second language besides their mother ethnic tongue.

I think English is the most spoken language in the philipines just because there is almost always a level of English in almost all of the popular languages in the philipines even if we don't necessarily notice them. But if you talk about most native language spoken in the philipines, that would be "bisaya" most of the visayas and mindanao region speak it or a close form of it. But you can definitely hear the base language like Spanish would be in mexico, puertorico, Spain, etc. Each have a different twist in the language but you can clearly see it's Spanish base. Just like bisaya.

Yo hablo espanol pero mi grammatica imperfecto, kaya ko rin tagalog, pati kapampangan biyasa ku and i can also speak english, gane apak man bahasa indonesia.

I Love this I am Kashi and my parents are from Visayas particularly Negros that speaks visayan languages such as Hiligaynon and Cebuano, I grew up in the south of Metro Manila, I speak fluently 5 languages including my 2 mother tongues Tagalog (Filipino), and Hiligaynon (Ilonggo), and my Academic and career language as English and I am fluent in Cebuano, and Spanish (Particularly Philippine Spanish) not the Chavacano one but the Castellano / Español. Another as well not I included on my 5 languages, I can speak Sanskrit as a liturgical language as I was practicing spiritual yoga before.

I like this vid. It is very informative..

I can speak 4 of these languages I can speak Chavacano, a little bit of tagalog, english, and mainly Bisaya

I started learning Tagalog about a year ago, though do like the sound of the other major Filipino languages.

Ako Isa ka proud nga Hiligaynon kag fan man ni Sarah Geronimo!!! Ay kanami pamation ☺️

I am Filipino, and am Fluent in English and Bisaya. My Tagalog skills needs some work, and I am studying for it along with my Chinese. So I cannot say that I am fluent in Tagalog and Chinese, so unlike others here who can speak several languages. I only known teo very well and are learning the other two. 😔😔
