Tagalog and Filipino
Tagalog has about 33 million first-language and 54 million second-language speakers. Filipino — the national language — is the standardised form of Tagalog, so the two are varieties of one language.
Taglish
Switching between Tagalog and English mid-sentence ('Hindi ko ma-understand ang topic') is the everyday language of much of urban Philippines. It's also the biggest challenge for speech recognition, so clear audio matters even more.
