What it is Filled
An Austronesian language spoken in the Philippines, chiefly in the region around Manila and southern Luzon, and the basis of Filipino, the standardised national language of the Philippines; the registry aliases name regional varieties such as Batangas, Bulacan and Tayabas Tagalog and the Baybayin script historically used to write it. Tagalog and Filipino are closely related but not identical, since Filipino is the standardised form drawing on Tagalog, and the topic is treated respectfully.
