Which one is the official language in Phils? is spanish or english? thanx!?

Answer 1

At one time of our history, Spanish was also a national language. Today, the official languages are Filipino, which is Tagalog based with different mix of local dialects, and English.
Do you know that the Philippine Constitution and laws enacted by Congress while being debated in Filipino and English are actually written in the English language? Court proceedings are sometimes heard in Filipino or in local dialects but decisions are written in the English language.
It's no wonder that sometimes we quarrel because we differ in the interpretations.

Answer 2

Tagalog is the official language in the Philippines then secondary is English. Our tagalog and other dialects in the Philippines has a mixture of Spanish language.

Answer 3

As many have said here, the official languages in the Philippines according to our constitution are English and Filipino (which was intended as a mix of various regional languages [commonly called dialects by most of us Filipinos, but an anthropology professor of mine said that they're really separate languages] but is dominated by Tagalog, the regional language of the Spanish colonial capital).
Someone above said mentioned creole Spanish--it's called Chabacano, and is spoken in Zamboanga City in Mindanao. There also used to be a small pocket of Chabacano speakers in the Batangas area, but I doubt they exist anymore.
A very small number of old creole (here called Spanish mestizo) families may still speak Spanish at home.

Answer 4

English should be the reputable language of u . s .. Spanish might want to by no potential be the reputable language!!!!!!!!! i do not care that many human beings talk Spanish. This has been an English talking united states because it became a united states. it truly is insulting to even evaluate Spanish as an reputable language!

Answer 5

To answer your question:
Out of Spanish and English, English is the official language. Some Spanish words are used.

Answer 6

the present constitution of the philippines states that filipino and english are both the official languages of the philippines. filipino is supposed to be a mix of different local languages but is predominated by tagalog. the use of the english language has deteriorated a lot due to lack of neglect, lack of concentration and funding of the department of education and is a contentious issue in philippine politics.

when we were under spain, spanish was the official language of the day. unfortunately the use of spanish went out of fashion more than a century ago.

Answer 7

Filipino is the official language in the Philippines. Secondary language is English.

Answer 8

Filipino (or Tagalog) is the official language, secondary is English. We also have thousands of dialects all over the provinces.

Answer 9

Tagalog. There's no spanish in Philippines. Cebuano or Bisaya is somewhat close to spanish with some of their words. Probably due to previous spanish influence in that region but it still aint spanish by any stretch. "supposedly" english is widespread but with the recent years of america hating its not as common as they advertise.

Answer 10
