the consonants in the Tagalog alphabet

Between the 1930s and mid-1970s, the abakada was taught as the alphabet of the Philippine national language. It was developed by the renowned scholar Lope K. Santos and includes only the "native" sounds used by Filipinos before the arrival of the Spaniards in the 16th century.

There are only 15 consonants in the Tagalog abakada alphabet:

b k d g h l m n ng p r s t w y

ba ka da ga ha la ma na nga pa ra sa ta wa ya




b=ba - bahay (house)

k=ka - kahon (box)

d=da - dagat (ocean)

g=ga - gatas (milk)

h=ha - hayop (animal)



l=la - lasa (taste)

m=ma - mais (corn)

n=na - nais (wish)

ng=nga - ngayon (now)

p=pa - payat (thin)



r=ra - ranggo (military rank)

s=sa - sabaw (broth)

t=ta - tama (right)
