Exactly the point of the writer. The Taglish version is more understood like toolbar = tulbar, internet = internet, website = websayt………

it’s no different than other languages that grow, words are invented. there’s no dialect in the philippines that
stand alone; they’re interrelated. i’m pangasinan yet i can find pangasinan in manguindanoa, in tagalog, even igorot dialects…so this is not a new process. i could translate those words ask; however it might not be acceptable:

internet-sanlambatan
email- sukat
computer- kahaw
modem – paskat
website- kukat
browser- katlip
toolbar- gakat
hypherlink-bliskat
upload-katga
download-datga
virus – keta
power points- tulning
bytes-ket
mouse- sanyo
***
some of these words i’m using it already
go to pangasinan and ask them about “ketab” or “linat”
(i did these long time ago)

it’s a trend for any language to grow either by invention
adoptation etc. one reason filipinos are in demand abroad is
they have good command of english language.
(sorry sangguni-ang pambansang wika;just a thought of translaton)

May I ask for your opinion?
How could you say that Filipino language can stand out from the others. For example, if Filipino is a color, how can it stand out from the hues?

Thank You very much!

Sincerely Yours,
Joyce Tan
