Etymology
The name Tagalog comes from either the term tagá-ilog, which means 'people living along the river', or another term, tagá-alog, which means 'people living along the ford' (the prefix taga- meaning "coming from" or "native of").[1]
In 1821, Edmund Roberts called the Tagalog, Tagalor in his memoirs about his trips to the Philippines.[2]
History
The Tagalog are part of the Austronesian migration from Taiwan into the Philippines at around 4000 BCE.[3] The earliest written record of the Tagalog is a 9th-century document known as the Laguna Copperplate Inscription which is about a pardon of debt on behalf of the ruler of Tagalog Tondo.[4] Contact with the rest of Southeast Asia led to the creation Baybayin later used in the book Doctrina Cristiana which is written by the 16th century Spanish colonizers.[5]
The Tagalog played an active role during the Philippine Revolution and many of its leaders were either from Manila or surrounding provinces.[6] The Katipunan once intended to name the Philippines as "Katagalugan" or the Tagalog Republic.[7]
Society
The Tagalog number around 25.5 million in the Philippines making them the second largest indigenous Filipino ethnic group after the Visayans.[3]
The Tagalog speak the a language with many dialects although all are mutually comprehensible to each other. The Tagalog mostly practice Christianity (Catholicism and Protestantism) with a minority practicing Islam, Buddhism, and Irreligion.[8]
Tagalog settlements are found on riverbanks, specifically near the delta and the "wawa" or the mouth of the river.[9]
The traditional clothing of the Tagalog, the Barong Tagalog, is the folk costume of the Philippines.[10]
