Tagalog Consonant Sounds


Have you tried answering the questions at the bottom of the lesson?   Tagalog, which is the basis for the current national language, which is Filipino, used to only have 15 consonants, which means that those that are used in proper nouns, and ñ, are not part of the original consonants, which in Tagalog is called, katinig.  The great thing about Tagalog words is that they are pronounced the way they are written.  No silent letters at all.   Therefore, it is also easy to spell, knowing that the rule is "Read it the way it is written."


So having already studied the vowels or the patinig, let's practice some words.
