LANGUAGE
Filipino and English are constitutionally established as official
languages in the Philippines, and Filipino is designated as the
national language, with English in wide use. Many Filipinos
speak American English due to American colonial influence in
the country's education system. Among Asian Americans in
1990, Filipino Americans had the smallest percentage of
individuals who had problems with English.
Tagalog is the fifth most-spoken language in the United
States, with 1.262 million speakers. ] Many of California's
public announcements and documents are translated into
Tagalog. Tagalog is also taught in some public schools, as well
as in higher education. Another significant Filipino language is
Ilokano. However, fluency in native Filipino languages tends
to be lost among second- and third-generation Filipino
Americans. In 2000, among U.S.-born Filipino Americans,
three quarters responded that English is their primary
language.
