The Tagalog Language
- Tagalog is natively known as Tagalog / Filipino and belongs to the Austronesian, Malayo-Polynesian, Philippine, Central Philippine language family.
- There are approximately 28 million native Tagalog, 82 million Filipino speakers worldwide.
- Tagalog forms the basis of Filipino, the national language of the Philippines, though Filipino also incorporates elements from other Philippine languages.
- The Philippines is one of the most linguistically diverse countries in the world, with over 180 languages, but Tagalog/Filipino serves as the lingua franca.
- Tagalog originally used the Baybayin script, an ancient writing system derived from Indian Brahmi scripts, before Spanish colonisation introduced the Latin alphabet.
- The language has borrowed extensively from Spanish (due to over 300 years of colonial rule), English, Malay, Sanskrit, and Chinese.
- The Tagalog verb system uses an elaborate focus system with affixes that indicate the semantic role of the topic (actor, object, location, beneficiary, instrument).
- The Filipino community is one of the largest migrant communities in Australia, with over 310,000 Filipino-born residents as of 2021. Concentrated in Sydney (Blacktown, Liverpool), Melbourne (Dandenong, Casey), Darwin, and regional areas, Filipinos are among the top source countries for skilled and family migration. The community is well-organised with numerous cultural, religious, and professional associations.
About Sunnybank
Sunnybank is now a suburb in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia much reduced in size from the previous suburb of Sunnybank. The separate Town of Sunnybank was absorbed into the City of Brisbane. This older Sunnybank area is still known locally as Sunnybank. Rolling hills and the headwaters for both Stable Swamp Creek and Bulimba Creek have drawn people and wildlife to the Sunnybank area. The Jagera Indigenous people were the first to inhabit the area well over 20,000 years ago.
Early settlers noticed the Sunnybank district was gifted with good rainfall and a beautiful loamy soil, somewhat sandy in character that produced beautiful displays of natural wild flowers. From the mid-19th century it developed into a farming area with prosperous fruit and poultry farms and gardens of every kind. Opening in 1938, The Oasis, with lush gardens, swimming pools and a mini zoo became Brisbane’s most popular tourist attraction. The Oasis was located at 141 Station Road, Sunnybank.
