How to count in Tagalog, a Philippine language spoken mainly in the Philippines, especially in Manila, Luzon, Lubang, Marinduque and Mindoro.
Two different sets of numbers are used in Tagalog: a set of native Tagalog numbers (originally from Malay), and a set of numbers from Spanish (with Tagalog spelling). The Tagalog numbers are used for counting objects, things, people and money, as well as with weights, while the numbers from Spanish are used for telling the time and occasionally when counting money. Many people use a mixture of the two systems.
