Filipino is "in practice" but not "according to the law" a form of the Tagalog language or the Metro Manila dialect ofTagalog. It is the national language of the Philippines, and one of the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the other.[1] About a third of the people in the Philippines speak Tagalog as a first language, and more people speak it as a second language, especially the Filipino language.

Filipino is "in practice" but not "according to the law" used as the formal, official, and/or academic name of the Tagalog language, but sometimes, it even means the same thing, which makes Tagalog and Filipino different languages.

It is commonly called Tagalog, the Tagalog language or the Tagalog language in the Philippines and among most Filipinos, just differentiate it from the other languages of the Philippines.

Filipino is a language that has undergone evolution and development from the Pilipino language since 1987, and it has more influences from the other languages of the Philippines and from foreign languages than the core Tagalog language.

The Pilipino language has been since 1959 the final official name of the former or previous official and national language of the Philippines.
