Tagalog in the United States
Who speaks Tagalog, and where they turn up.
Tagalog is the basis of Filipino, the national language of the Philippines. In the U.S. it is the fourth-most-spoken non-English language. Filipino speakers are typically fully bilingual English-Tagalog but often require Tagalog for elderly family members and informal registers.
Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Jacksonville, Chicago and the DMV have large Filipino communities. Healthcare settings and parent outreach are the most common interpretation triggers.

Linguistic considerations
Getting Tagalog right.
Small choices — dialect, script, register — change whether a Tagalog session lands correctly. Here is what we watch for.
Dialect & variety
Filipino / Tagalog uses substantial English code-switching ("Taglish"), especially in urban and healthcare contexts. We interpret natural register and do not over-formalise.
