tagalog y español
I'm curious, Is anyone else learning Tagalog? It's interesting how much Spanish has influenced the language. I read somewhere that up to 40% of the spoken language is composed of Spanish loanwords. I can see how 333 years of occupation could do that .
I found an interesting website that has a large list of loan-words. I wouldn't say its complete, but it's a great example of Spanish and its influence around the world.

I do speak Tagalog. Yes, it has many words from Tagalog but some filipinos have no knowledge of their origins because of the Orthographic-changes (aka. Abakada-- you may search it up) and borrowing the plural form 
Ex. Cuchara- Kutsara,, Silla-Silya,, Cebolla- Sibuyas (Cebollas),, Baño-banyo,, etc...
However, regional languages have more Spanish-influence-words than Tagalog. Ex: Fácil- pasil, Kusido-Cocido, etc...
Kind of late, but, there's also Spanish and Chavacano, another language in the Philippines. A lot of these kinds of mixed languages came up during the colonial period. It's pretty interesting.
