Filipino or Tagalog?
Although the terms "Filipino" and "Tagalog" are often used interchangeably, according to the 1987
constitution [1] the official language of the country of the Philippines is Filipino (and not Tagalog).
Technically, Filipino
is a language based on the Tagalog language with some (minor) changes. The government's official position on
the language has changed over the years: In 1937 the official language was named
to be the regional "Tagalog" language. In 1959 the language name was changed to "Pilipino,"
to differentiate it from the regionally-focused "Tagalog" language. And then in 1973 and again in 1987
the language name was officially and finally changed to "Filipino"
and included influences from other regional languages in the Philippines.
You can read
a more in depth History of the Filipino language on Wikipedia's article, here [2].
Generally, learners of the Filipino language will refer to it as "Tagalog." On this website we use the terms interchangeably.
