What are some materials that I can use to learn the language?

Hello mga historians. Especiallt kay sir Cheesetorian. Ask ko lang po paano nila nagawa yung mga Dictionary noon tulad ng Vocabulario de La Lengua Tagala ni Pedro de Buenaventura?
Paano po nila nagawa yung mga events or happenings para makuha halos lahat ng salita sa Tagalog noon? Parang how did they pacify the natives? How did he or other Spaniards communicate with them peacefully? Technique or specific methods?
Tapos sa linguistics side naman po.

How did they get almost every word in the Tagalog language as well as other languages? how did they cover every object in every aspect of life (example - lambat for pangingisda, o kaya ay pukyot for honey harvesting etc.)? How did they get accuracy?

Salamat po sa sagot.

I was wondering why Philippines doesn't take other languages from Philippines and mix them with Tagalog (mix Bisaya, Ilokano or Kapampangan) like how they mixed Spanish and English. Also, why not use the Bisaya precolonial Calendar names (months and days of the week) instead to help reclaim some sense of "identity" as Filipinos.

I don't know, to me I think it would be nice to recreate something together. I mean I have already heard a few younger generation Filipinos mixing Kapampangan/Tagalog or Bisaya/Tagalog. Also, for those who would probably tell me mixing Spanish and English is evolving the language; so is mixing other Philippine languages with Tagalog. The language still evolves for you are mixing languages not dialects. Anyways, what are your thoughts ?

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Sitting in my in laws house, my FIL thinks sleeping past 7 is bad, so I got up early and am working on this and pretending to be asleep bc I think its funny to mess with him and pretend to sleep till 10-1030. Not sure how the rest of this prank will end but YOLO! Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! Meet the Maguindanao in Philippines!

Climate: The Philippines has a tropical maritime climate that is usually hot and humid. There are three seasons: a hot dry season or summer from March to May; a rainy season from June to November; and a cool dry season from December to February. The southwest monsoon lasts from May to October, and the northeast monsoon from November to April. Temperatures usually range from 21 °C (70 °F) to 32 °C (90 °F). The coolest month is January; the warmest is May.

The average yearly temperature is around 26.6 °C (79.9 °F). In considering temperature, location in terms of latitude and longitude is not a significant factor, and temperatures at sea level tend to be in the same range. Altitude usually has more of an impact. The average annual temperature of Baguio at an elevation of 1,500 meters (4,900 ft) above sea level is 18.3 °C (64.9 °F), making it a popular destination during hot summers. Annual rainfall measures as much as 5,000 millimeters (200 in) in the mountainous east coast section but less than 1,000 millimeters (39 in) in some of the sheltered valleys.

Sharing this here because it's an atypical job posting and we'd like to reach as many potential applicants as possible!

TL;DR: Seeking one or two UofM students who fluently speak a Philippine language other than Tagalog/Filipino to work 5-10 hours per week in the winter term as Language Consultant for LING 4300 (pay is $21.88/hour). This is not a teaching position: just show up to class and translate words and sentences from English into your language as requested by the instructor and students. See full details below. Please share with anyone who may be interested!

*****

Details:

LING 4300 Field Methods is a course in which advanced Linguistics students apply their knowledge in a hands-on way. We hire a "Language Consultant", which is simply a person who fluently speaks a language that nobody in the class is familiar with. The students have to figure out how the language works (vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar) simply by asking the Language Consultant to translate words and sentences from English into their language.

The Language Consultant comes to class (TR 1:00-2:15pm) and also meets with students in small groups outside class hours. The Consultant is NOT expected to teach or explain their language. It's the students' job to figure it out for themselves. The Consultant simply needs to be able to translate between English and their language on the spot, as requested by the instructor and students. (Example: "How do you say 'dog'? How do you say 'cat'? How do you say 'The dog chased the cat'?")

This year we want to focus on a Philippine language other than Tagalog/Filipino, such as Ilocano, Cebuano, Kapampangan, Bikol, Pangasinan, etc. (It is fine if the Language Consultant also speaks Tagalog/Filipino, as long as they can keep it separate from their other Philippine language.) We plan to hire either one person to work 10hrs/wk or two people who speak the same language to work 5hrs/wk each. Pay is $21.88/hr.

In particular, the requirements are:

• be a fluent native speaker of a Philippine language other than Tagalog/Filipino
• be interested in sharing your language with a group of highly engaged students
• be able to confidently translate English words and sentences into your language on the spot
• be available during the class time (TR 1:00-2:15pm) for the entire winter term, plus regularly scheduled meetings with students outside of class time
• be enrolled as an undergraduate or graduate student at the UofM (in any program

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Pilot on me!!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

Daughter: I'm hungry

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.
