is the name of both the people of the Philippines
, and its national language. Filipino the language is based on Tagalog
, but includes some words borrowed from Spanish, English, and a number of words from the many different dialects spoken in the Philippines.
Take note that the plural of Filipino is Filipinos. People often use Philipino, Philipinoe, and Filipinoes; all of which are wrong. An alternative spelling which is commonly accepted is "Pilipino", which is the Tagalog spelling.
