National Language: Tagalog Or Bisaya

[Streetcar]

^^ thanks for sharing. But i'd say leave it na lang for people whatever language they want to use. If you make such a big deal out of it then naturally it creates a langugae barrier for all nga tana dili na big deal gi big deal na man nuon. If i'm in Manila i can speak tagalog very well. When i am in the Visayas, i can speak Bisaya well too. And people are just making a big deal out of little things ngano ang mga tagalog moadto ug Cebu they dont speak Bisaya and then mo complain ang mga Bisaya ngano lagi mga Bisaya kung moadto ug Manila they speak tagalog then might as well ang mga tagalog mag binisaya kung moadto ug Cebu. All i can say, these are just petty matters that shouldn't be such a big deal.

Ngano dili man lagi mo mag tagalog ug Bisaya sa mga amerikano beh? Mag iningles man lagi mo.... see?

mao lagi unta pero usahay maugkat man gud ang issue sa superiority complex.

ang root sa problema dili ang language,nagdako ko sa manila,so naa koy gamay nga experience about sa discrimination.ang problema is this,kung ang mga tagalog dili lang mo look down sa mga bisaya!!!! ug ang mga tagalog way superiority complex!!!!!! i dont think nga mahimo ning issue,its just that the tagalog belittle the bisaya.and to the tagalogs,that say`s why make a big deal about it!!! try to be in our shoes,its so easy for u to say,ikaw ba ang malagay sa ilalim ng aking bayag ano ang ma aamoy mo

have you seen the video from youtube? kadto ako gihatag na link? ang idea niya is if adto ko manila magtinagalog ko. If ang Tgalog moari sa Cebu, binisaya unta pud sla. Kita bitaw if naa ta sa US iningles ta. Pero wala ba nimo naobserve that those foreigners na gusto mopuyo sa cebu they try to speak in bisaya bisan maglisud?

Filipino language is a combination of different dialects in the Philippines. Some words in bisaya even in Hiligaynon can be used to express feelings but since tagalog is widely used today that is why people are more familiar to it.

English should not be considered our primary language because we have our own culture. Language is also one of the aspects why a country is prosperous, look at Japan, they don't know how to speak in English but the economy is booming why? In schools students undertsand the lessons more because they are expressed in their native tongue. It's funny lang cguro in our case how will you express chemistry in filipino language.

not only that.... kung sa calculus kaha beh.... unsaon pag tagalog sa "what is the derivative of x as x aproaches to zero"?

mao na wala ta binisaya or tinagalog ana because elementary pa lang, math and science are taught in english. Even History nowadays are taught in english. If you go to some of the private schools sa cebu, teaching Filipino is hard because you need to translate words in Filipino to english.

@gnox: maglisud sad ko ug too that Filipino language is a combination of all the dialects. It's 95% tagalog, then ang 5% gibahinbahin sa more than 50 ka dialects. Is that fair?

^ You're right. Filipino with capital 'T'. And Tagalog is not widely used, it is widely officially imposed. who came up and who believed with the idea that a country can be united by imposing one language over multicultural groups is hopelessly stupid and myopic. it's never done before and it will never be done. does it help the situation of our country now? of course not. you can see how the tagalogs and bisdaks are bashing each other regarding this issue. give a few years when awareness and relative economic clout come to the Ilongos, Kapampangans, Bicolanos etc..., Cebuanos will find their sentiments just too meek in comparison. But as usual, we Filipinos won't do anything about this until it blows up in our face. and again, we can always make the sign of the cross. and hope for the best.

talking about the 'language barrier' jargon, it is just right that all Filipinos should cross it, and only if they need it. if the Cebuanos, Ilongos, Warays, Bicolanos..., cross it when they are in Manila, why not the Tagalogs when they are outside Manila? what made them special? something's fishy with our society.
