Tagalog

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Borrowed fromSpanishK. Each pronunciation has a different source:

  • Filipino alphabet pronunciation is influenced byEnglishK.
  • Abakada alphabet pronunciation is influenced by Baybayin character(ka).
  • Abecedario pronunciation is fromSpanishK.

The use ofK instead of using the Spanish-basedC andQ was promoted in the late 19th century primarily by the educated (such asJosé Rizal andTrinidad Pardo de Tavera) because of the Baybayin character primarily being applicable to all vowels, as well as the ease of usage with Tagalog grammar rules. Its order in the Abakada alphabet was due to the order of the similar soundingC in the Spanish alphabet.
