Hi Nay

Bonus Episode: Filipino Language in Hi Nay (part 1)

Hi Nay

Show Notes

Another bit of unscripted bonus content! I discuss the subtle differences between Filipino, Tagalog, and other languages of the Philippines, and go over the names of each episode from Act 1 and the interesting context and background behind them.

Glossary of Terms: Tagalog - Refers to both the language and ethnic group, and one of over a hundred Philippine languages, originating from the Tagalog region.

Filipino - The standardized National Language which is largely made up of Tagalog with many loanwords from Spanish, English, and other Philippine languages.

Bisaya - Refers to both the language and the ethnic group/s, and one of over a hundred Philippine languages, originating from the Visayas region. Also referred to as Cebuano (though Bisaya is preferred).
