Tagalog

edit

Etymology 1

edit

Borrowed from Spanish k. Each pronunciation has a different source:

  • Filipino alphabet pronunciation is influenced by English k.
  • Abakada alphabet pronunciation is influenced by Baybayin character ᜃ (ka).
  • Abecedario pronunciation is from Spanish k.

The use of ⟨k⟩ instead of using the Spanish-based ⟨c⟩ and ⟨q⟩ was promoted in the late 19th century primarily by the educated (such as José Rizal and Trinidad Pardo de Tavera) because of the Baybayin character primarily being applicable to all vowels, as well as the ease of usage with Tagalog grammar rules. Its order in the Abakada alphabet was due to the order of the similar sounding ⟨c⟩ in the Spanish alphabet.

  • (Standard Tagalog)
