Tagalog and Filipino are two common languages spoken in the Philippines. In fact, both languages are the two most spoken languages out of about 185 dialects that exist in the Philippines. However, there are some differences between the two.

First, Tagalog is difficult to learn compared to Filipino since it has so many rules that must be followed before you can use the language, plus it also has more vocabulary compared to Filipino. In the event that you are learning the language for the first time, Filipino seems easier to learn compared to Tagalog.

It is believed that Filipino as a language was created from Tagalog, while Tagalog has its origin from the Taga-ilog ethnic group, and they are usually considered being the original speakers of the language. Tagalog has a total of 27 letters, while Filipino has the same letters as Tagalog but with the inclusion of letter Ñ.
