Filipino alphabet
The Filipino alphabet , the Philippines officially on Tagalog as Makabagong alpabetong Filipino and English as a Modern Filipino alphabet (both called modern Filipino alphabet ) refers, consists of 19 letters of the standard Latin script, and in addition to that of the Baybayin acquired former letters and today digraphs Ng . In addition, there is the Spanish letter Ñ and the digraph Ll, which nowadays only exist nominally and are not actively used.
The Filipino alphabet, also known as Abakada (literally Aa, Be, Ce, De), was conceived by Lope K. Santos, a Filipino lawyer and politician. This is why this is also known as the "father of the Filipino national language and grammar". The creation of a new Filipino writing system was part of a program to create an official and national language based on Tagalog, a Wikang Pambansa Batay sa Tagalog or Tagalog-Based National Language . It was founded in 1900 with the approval of the American colonial government under US President William McKinley by the Philippine President Manuel Quezon under the Tagalog name Surian ng Wikang Pambansa and the English name National Language Institute , the national language institute of the Philippines.
collation
The abakada is arranged similarly to the German alphabet. The letters in the top row of the table below indicate the characters used, while the syllables seen in the bottom row suggest correct pronunciation. The letters used are all based on the characters used in Baybayin , with the exception of the R , which is only used in the Bikolano variant of Baybayin.
The term Filipino is the only word in the official script of the Philippines that is spelled with the letter F. Due to the mixing of Filipino with other languages, mainly the increasingly stronger English, but also Spanish and Hokkien , the remaining Latin letters C , F , J , Q , V , X , Z are also used in unofficial written documents.
