Numbers in Languages of the Philippines.
There are actually two sets of numbers in most philippine languages, as a version of the Spanish counting system is used alongside the original counting system. I have chosen the native language system here, with the exception of Waray-Waray numbers 11-20 (in modern Waray-Waray the original numbers past ten are almost never used except for one hundred and one thousand)
Tagalog is the most widely spoken and also the official language of the Philippines. It is a Central Philippine Language in the Philippine group of the Malayo-Polynesian language family.
Cebuano is the next most widely spoken, and it is in the Visayan group of Central Philippine languages. It is spoken mostly on the Island of Mindanao and the southern Visayas.
Ilocano is spoken on the Island of Luzon, and it is in the Northern Luzon group of the Philippine languages.
Hiligaynon is a Visayan language spoken in the Western part of the Visayas and a small portion of Mindanao.
Waray-Waray (also known simply as “Waray”) is in the Central Visayan subgroup of the Visayan languages, and is spoken in the Eastern part of the Visayas.
Kapampangan is in the Central Luzon group of the Philippine languages, and is spoken in a Southern part of the Island of Luzon.
Tausug is spoken in the Sulu province of the Philippines and parts of the East coast of the Island of Borneo, in Malaysia. It is in the Southern Visayan subgroup of the Visayan languages.
Note: spelling and/or full words may very across dialect, region or locale.
