There's a thread like this for Indonesian & Cambodian; I think we should have one too, specifically for Tagalog. So if you haven't heard Tagalog before., here's 3 really random clips. Different types of ppl speak Tagalog differently.

The first part of this vid is how educated people talk. Very smooth and pleasant.
The second part (around 1:25) is how regular/middle class ppl speak

This is how rich people in Manila talk. The words are very drawn out. It's annoying. Lots of English is used and even some Tagalog words are pronounced with an American accent.

This is how poorer ppl talk. Country as hell.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lPk1zT3Vrw (starting @ :25)

Any Filipinos feel free to add more clips because i'm sure there are better examples than the ones I gave. I just kinda threw that ^ together.

EDIT: I decided to add more vids.
Since most ppl are starting to post clips of Filipino languages other than Tagalog, I think it's ok discuss other Filipino languages too. Here's some good clips of different Filipino languages that Narra provided:

Chavacano Language Film

Yakan Language Film

It has a lot of "b", "p", "ng" sounds. It's hard to say what it reminds me of, unique a bit. On one hand, it slightly reminds me of Spanish, on another hand it slightly reminds me of Indonesian, on another hand it reminds me of a Polynesian language.

I noticed the last clip had more "ng" in it than the other two.

pinoy celebs... honestly

i like the 3rd... thats also what im most used to... down to earth real people

^ Yeah i like the 3rd one too. I love crazy Filipinos. And I like the 1st one too because it sounds so sophisticated.

LAHAT ng pamilya ko, GANYAN ang salita rofl. puwes... lahat 'maliban??' ang daddy ko. parang probinsiyano ang salita ña omg napakaclassless naman... and when he doesn't know a word in tagalog he replaces it with spanis instead of english... it's so weird. i swear if i didn't take spanish in hs i would have no idea wtf he's talking about.

holy fu-k i just spoke to my cousin just yesterday, and she sound just like the folks in the 3rd vid.

I like the first one best.

The first one sounds Spanish & more classic, 2nd one just sounds like English and more slang/modern, the 3thrd one sounds very Tagalog.

I speak Tagalog and it's soft, like I don't have that thick volume in my voice. I

I mainly speak Cebuano though and I tend to speak softer and slower compared to others. I speak Cebuano the same pace as the first video.

I have to admit that I'm currently losing my vocabulary in Tagalog, so I intend to replace i with English or Spanish... or a Ilonggo lol

the third is the best, of course i speak tagalog like that... i'm just a commoner

EDIT : not exactly how people speak Tagalog like the third one... i speak fast that some few people can barely understand me

ang panget talaga nung pangalawa... nakakasura talaga

me? uhmmm... i`m a commoner, but i dont speak like d 3rd class! parang usualy d 2nd... mix lng! ndi din nmn ung 1st kc purong tagalog yun... nd aq tlgang tgalog eh!

wa' jud koy nasabtan bisan asa diha...

ambot sa inyoha...

Sorry I didnt really provide an example of how middle class Filipinos talk, but the 2nd part of the first video (starting around :40) is how I imagine that middle class Filipinos talk.

why does it always have to be tagalog
ugh..

bisaya is more diverse..

boholano,leyteño, davaoeño, cebuano, illonggo etc...

post some clips later

i dunno... tell me how my my titas and mommy sound like...?

here:

please excuse my lil sister... she was only 12 that time, annoying...

uugghh lucky them, they get to go back and visit the philippines. hvent been home for 8 yrs

I thnk tagalog is meh...bisayan languages all the way

Tagalog is horrible sounding.

Tagalogs tends to be malumay

Bisaya is d best

BISAYAN DUBBED MOVIES:

CEBUANO

ILONGGO:

seriously, why don't you 3 do something constructive with your brain cells.

The Cebuano one makes it sound almost Polynesian.

The Ilonggo one...I'm not sure what to make of it from that clip. The way they were talking made it sound like it was sped up, like the road runner or something. I didn't know someone could speak so fast.

Lol, the Ilongo one sounded funny. Here's a better clip that's not as fast.

Ilonggo Commercial

And I think Cebuano sounds more like Indonesian. Listen to this clip:

Cebuano commercial

It might just be the way the guy is speaking that makes it sound Indonesian to me.

From those new clips, the Ilonggo clip sounded similar to Tagalog but without as many "-k" endings. The Cebuano clip did remind me a little of Indonesian.

By the way, why were those little girls dressed like Sailor Moon?

^ Lol, i dunno. It's a show.

Here's Ilocano. It sounds very different from Tagalog & Cebuano.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=sD6trhO6RQk

Regional differences, the 300 dubs were probably Negrense ilongos (from Negros Island) where there is a lot more Bisaya influence into the language due to the fact that Negros itself is half Cebuano.

i wouldn't normally say this, but since you asked for opinions, i think Tagalog sounds horrible

Ilocano

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WIUqdFSe_KU

There are sections whee I udnerstand everything and then all of a sudden it gets super confusing and... Ilocano.

I think Ilocano might be my favorite so far.
There's something about it...


At first in the clip, the rhythm reminded me a bit of Italian.

lol..puro tayo-tayo lang nagpost dito...

heres some chavacano. my granma's dialect. i understand this more than bisaya, since i understand spanish as well.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=q64tEgjeQpM

heres some waray:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=EZwlJpwiVEQ

I got some responses in other forums that Ilocano sounds Japanese :confused:

ilocano sounds the best out em all. too bad i seldom hear my granpa speak ilocano although our clan is ilocano. i hear him speak cebuano most of the time.

Chavacano sounds bordering on Spanish to me.

Waray sounds a bit Indonesian to me.

chavacano is broken spanish.

pagnaririnig kong nagsasalita ng Ilocano ang tatay ko, kaunti lang maintindihan ko...

Did you say (something something) your father speaks Ilocano, and you understand a little?

Thanks for those clips. I was looking for some good clips of those languages. I like them both. Waray has a lot more Spanish than I thought. It sounds like it's nearly half Spanish. Chavacano is probably 75% Spanish, in vocabulary.

wow thats a really good guess. u pretty much got the gist of his meaning.

Ok, but explain why you think it sounds horrible.

yes. you're right

btw, ang pangit lang sa Tagalog, nakakairita yung "repetition" at kulang sa "r" IMO

yeeee ye ye ye yeeee i agree with yall. tagalog does sound annoying. LOL, FrenchVanillaNYC is not filipino meng.

What's "nakakairita" and "kula ng"?

nakakairita - means "annoying"
kulang - lacking

sorry if i'm not a good translator... possibly its not the exact meaning

^what he said. or to break it down:

nakakairita:
nakaka (very) + irita (iritating)

kulang: devoid
kulang sa r
lacking + 'at' (in this case it means "in the use of") + the letter r.
///

Thanks tamang hinala.


Ohh, that makes sense.

Thanks hammy.

Nita, u very interested in the filipino language eh.

glad u are

Actually I think languages with less R's are better. R is kinda harsh sounding. I like L's better. That's why I dont really like Japanese.

i don't like languages that use too much "r" like japanese

but a good example of a language with many "r" is indonesian... a beautiful language
my father told me they have strong sounding "r"

also, to help you understand:


pagririnig:
pag- (prefix added to verbs to talk about when a given action occurs.. it sort of means "when" and "if" at the same time) + naririnig (to be hearing)

kong:
ko (I) + ng (liason word used to attach clauses or sentence fragments together)

nagsasalita:
nagsa- (present continuous tense, in a sort of abstract way) + salita (speak)

ng (of) Ilokano ang (the) tatay (dad) ko (of mine), kaunti (a little) lang (only) maintindihan (will hypothetically understand) ko (I)

Altogether:
When I hear my father speaking in Ilocano, I only understand a little.
or
If I were to hear my father speaking in Ilocano, I would only understand a little.
rather than
My father speaks Ilocano and I understand a little.

You got the gist, it's just that the purpose and mood of his sentence were a little different. That's pretty much because a lot of the feelings attached to sentences are created in Tagalog by adding inflexions on the verbs.

Hope that helps. Sorry if it bored you.
