You can even go to the Summer Institute of Linguistics and ask, or probably check the ethnologue.<BR/><BR/>A Filipino speaker can converse with a Tagalog speaker (mutually intelligible) and they would understand each other without formal training. That's the basis of "having the same language, but different dialects."<BR/><BR/>A dialect is a variety of a language. FILIPINO is definitely a variety of Tagalog (coz it's Tagalog-based).<BR/><BR/>Now, when you said "tagalog is just one of the dialects of RP," you're way too wrong, as Tagalog, like Cebuano, Kapampangan, Waray, Cuyonon, Meranaw, and the other Philippine languages, are full blown language (again, i have linguistic evidence to prove this, even KOMISYON NG WIKANG FILIPINO accepts them as Pinoy languages) and it would be bothersome if you won't accept linguistic correction.<BR/><BR/>Even KOMISYON NG WIKANG FILIPINO tags FILIPINO and Tagalog as the same.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Jason<BR/>KapampanganJason Paul Laxamanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647261796957959034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3427194068928751568.post-73132910652579026472008-02-22T02:08:00.000+08:002008-02-22T02:08:00.000+08:00Thank you for sharing...
