    We were talking about the #Filipinoo and #Tagalog languages a few days ago…

    “The Japanese interest in PH indigenous languages”

    “WITH close to 200 languages spoken all over the country (based on many different counts), the Philippines has such a large number of languages that the number of Filipino linguists documenting these languages might never be enough. Most linguistic studies done in the Philippines are in the realm of applied linguistics, but this is not surprising because there are many real-world language problems in developing countries like the Philippines. Actually, studies on (Philippine) English are more common among Filipino linguists than those on Philippine indigenous languages.”

      The Japanese interest in PH indigenous languages
      from Ariane Macalinga Borlongan
      WITH close to 200 languages spoken all over the country (based on many different counts), the Philippines has such a large number of languages that the number of Filipino linguists documenting these languages might never be enough. Most linguistic studies done in the Philippines are in the realm of applied linguistics, but this is not surprising because there are many real-world language problems in developing countries like the Philippines. Actually, studies on (Philippine) English are more common among Filipino linguists than those on Philippine indigenous languages. I could only think of four institutions that are leading this endeavor of documenting and studying Philippine indigenous languages. The Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL), associated with printing the Bible in local languages, is also doing language documentation by many foreign linguists. There is also the Linguistic Society of the Philippines (LSP), the premier national organization of linguists in the Philippines, with several activities and events supporting studies of Philippine indigenous languages. One would expect the University of the Philippines to be very active in this endeavor as well, and indeed the Diliman Department of Linguistics is. And then there's De La Salle University (DLSU), also highly involved in applied linguistics, and the university's Department of English and Applied Linguistics is headed by Dr. Shirley Dita, who has been working on Philippine languages since earning her doctorate on Ibanag grammar, teaching the grammar of Philippine languages and supervising others to do the same. In fact, the current vice chairman, Dr. Philip Rentillo, was supervised by Dr. Dita for his dissertation on Aklanon dialects.
