What is Philippine English?
{{distinguish|Taglish and Englog}} '''Philippine English''' ({{lang-tl|Ingles ng Pilipinas}}, {{lang-ceb|Iningles Pilipinas}}) or '''Filipino English''' ({{lang-tl|Ingles Pilipino}}, {{lang-ceb|Iningles Pilipino}}) a dialect of [[English language|English]] spoken in the [[Philippines]]. It is the main language of government, school and business in the Philippines. It sounds similar to [[American English]], possibly due to the [[United States]] owning the Philippines for some time. However, it has many slang words and different pronunciations, mainly derived from Asian languages and [[Spanish language|Spanish]] (because the Philippines was formerly a Spanish colony). ==Spelling== It mostly follows American spelling, except there is a British preference for the words ''travelled'' and ''traveller''. {{Stub}} [[Category:Dialects of English]] [[Category:Languages of the Philippines|English]]
