    Code-switching refers to shifting between linguistic codes like languages or dialects based on social context. Taglish and Conyo are considered examples of code-switching, as they incorporate English words into Tagalog and Filipino respectively. A language is a structured system of human communication, while a dialect is a variety of a language used by a particular region or group. Ilocano is considered a separate language from Tagalog/Filipino politically and socially, though linguistically it may be mutually intelligible, as the Philippines defines languages and dialects based on political status rather than just linguistic factors. There are around 180 distinct languages spoken in the Philippines' mountainous regions which have developed independently over time.

    FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS:

    Code-switching, process of shifting from one linguistic code (a language or dialect) to another,
    depending on the social context or conversational setting (Morrison, n.d.).

    Is TAGLISH considered code-switching? Is CONYO considered code-switching? YES

    Taglish – usual spoken Tagalog with added English words.


    Englog – “Conyo English”, English with added Filipino words.

    What makes a language language, and a dialect a dialect?

    Language is the method of human communication, either spoken or written [or signed],
    consisting of the use of words in a structured and conventional way.

    A dialect is a particular form of language which is peculiar to a specific region or social group.
    All dialects are a variety of language that has, for sociopolitical or linguistic reasons, been
    determined to be separate from the language varieties around it.

    The word dialect is assigned to languages for two principal reasons: linguistic and sociopolitical.

    Linguistic “dialects” are varieties of languages that are considered mutually intelligible—that is,
    speakers of one form of the language can understand speakers of the other form without
    learning the other language outright.

    Sociopolitical “dialects” are languages that have been determined for social, political, or
    cultural reasons to be of lesser importance when compared to another, more “standard”
    language.

    Is Ilocano a language or a dialect?

    The official language of the Philippines is Filipino, Tagalog being its basis and is now spoken
    widely in the entire Philippines by the Ilocanos, Cebuanos, Ilongos, Cordillerans and other
    indigenous tribes who each have their own native language.

    Filipino is formally taught in schools and serves as a medium of instruction alongside English. It
    is highly used in media, which means more exposure. However, Tagalog/Filipino is seldom used
    in written communications and official documents, instead English is used.

    Ilocano is a regional “Austronesian” language spoken in the northern part of Luzon. Some
    people refer to Ilocano as a dialect.
    Carl Rubino, a computational linguist and typologist specializing in Western Austronesian
    languages said that most Filipinos would consider Ilocano to be a language, not a dialect,
    because like the Chinese, we use the terms language and dialect politically rather than
    linguistically.

    In the Philippines, the word language is usually reserved for tongues that are given a certain
    political and legal status. Tagalog, the native language of the people around the Manila area of
    southern Luzon Island, was declared the basis for the national Language (wikang pambansa) in
    1937. All other languages of the archipelago were therefore never duly recognized officially and
    have been called dialects ever since.”

    Jem Javier, assistant professor from the Department of Linguistics at the University of the
    Philippines – Diliman, clarified that there are more or less 180 languages in the Philippines.

    "Dahil sa bulubundukin ang Pilipinas, maraming mga tao ang nagkaroon ng parallel
    development na tinatawag, so merong isang bahagi ng community na umalis na pumunta sa
    bagong lugar at mula sa bagong lugar na 'yon, nagkaroon sila ng independent na pag-unlad.
