The Commission on the Filipino Language (CFL),[1] also referred to as the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF),[a] is the official regulating body of the Filipino language and the official government institution tasked with developing, preserving, and promoting the various local Philippine languages.[3][4] The commission was established in accordance with the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines.
Established by Republic Act No. 7104 in 1991,[1] the commission is a replacement for the Institute of Philippine Languages (IPL; Linangan ng mga Wika sa Pilipinas) that was set up in 1987 which was a replacement of the older Institute of National Language (INL; Surian ng Wikang Pambansa), established in 1937 as the first government agency to foster the development of a Philippine national language.[5]
