Tagalog as its de facto standardized counterpart Filipino is the principal language of the national media in the Philippines. It is the primary language of public education. As Filipino it is along with English a co-official language and the sole national language. Tagalog is widely used as a lingua franca throughout the country and in overseas Filipino communities.

However according to linguists such as Dr. David Zorc and Dr. Robert Blust the Tagalogs originated along with their Central Philippine cousins from northeastern Mindanao or eastern Visayas The first known book to be written in Tagalog is the Doctrina Cristiana (Christian Doctrine) of 1593. It was written in Spanish and two versions of Tagalog; one written in Baybayin and the other in the Latin alphabet.
