Comments:	Tagalog is spoken in Manila, most of Luzon and Mindoro in the Philipines. /o/ and /e/ were in predictable alternation with /i/ and /u/ in native vocabulary but loanwords from Spanish and English have added contrastive function to the mid vowels. OLAF HUSBY (L1-L2map EDITOR): The classification of /f/ as a phoneme is disputable. Schachter, who is quoted below, omits /f/ in his review of Tagalog in Comrie (1987) The World's Major Languages. There is also different approaches to descriptions of diphthongs. As /j/ and /w/ as classified at semivowels, they are not used to described diphthongs (defines as vowel + vowel). However, semivowel+vowel clusters as /ij/, /ej/, /aj/, /oj/, /uj/, /aw, /iw/ are attested.
