nope....you are wrong.....read this link...http://www.philippines-travel-guide.com/filipino-language.html

it was in the 1987 Constitution that Filipino was declared as our National Language....

Have you ever tried studying three languages at a time?.....it is difficult especially if there is no continuity in teaching....this idea of yours is pleasing and good but it is impossible...let us say you can, but the majority may not be able to learn in a fast pace esp nga naay ethnocentric individuals who thinks their dialect is far more superior than others.....so learning won't be possible....

You are right, I stand corrected...

"As mandated in the 1935 Philippine Constitution, a national language was to be adopted and by 1937, the Institute of National Language (INL) which was created to direct the selection, propagation and development of the national language, recommended that Tagalog be the basis for the adoption of the national language of the country. In the same year, then President Manuel Quezon signed Executive Order No. 134 declaring Tagalog as basis of the national language. It was later changed to “Pilipino” in 1959 but was only recently renamed to “Filipino” in the ratified 1987 Constitution. The change was purely in the “name” of the national language. The basis is still “Tagalog”. Tagalog is not even a majority language. In fact a survey showed that “Cebuano” ranks first. It is spoken by nearly first (24.39%) of the people. Tagalog ranks second (23.82%); followed by Ilocano (11.14%); Hiligaynon or Ilongo (9.99%); Bicolano (6.96%); Waray-waray (4.62%); Kapampangan (3.43%) and Pangasinan (2.26%). Aside from these 8 principal native languages, there are 45 more native languages and 142 dialects."

nindot jud unta ang bisaya.. pero kulang man gud daw.

One example is subject-verb agreement.

Tagalog: Ang tao ay masaya. subject - tao, verb - ay, adjective - masaya.
Bisaya: Ang tao malipayon. - subject - tao, verb - ?, adjective - malipayon.

I disagree...

Mao gyud na ang normal nga tubag kung ngano Tagalog dili man Bisaya.

What about other nations, do they have verb too so that it can qualify to be a national language? Just asking.
