Filipino (English: /ˌfɪlɪˈpiːnoʊ/ ⓘ, FIH-lih-PEE-noh;[1] Wikang Filipino, [ˈwi.kɐŋ fi.liˈpi.no̞]) is a language under the Austronesian language family. It is the national language (Wikang pambansa / Pambansang wika) of the Philippines, and one of the two official languages (Wikang opisyal/Opisyal na wika) of the country, with English.[2] It is a standardized variety of Tagalog[3] based on the native dialect, spoken and written, in Metro Manila, the National Capital Region, and in other urban centers of the archipelago.[4] The 1987 Constitution mandates that Filipino be further enriched and developed by the other languages of the Philippines.[5]

Filipino, like other Austronesian languages, commonly uses verb-subject-object order, but can also use subject-verb-object order. Filipino follows the trigger system of morphosyntactic alignment that is also common among Austronesian languages. It has head-initial directionality. It is an agglutinative language but can also display inflection. It is not a tonal language and can be considered a pitch-accent language and a syllable-timed language. It has nine basic parts of speech.
