Classical Tagalog
- The older form of Tagalog spoken and written in the Philippines from about 1565 C.E. to 1897 C.E., before soon developing into Modern Tagalog (Filipino) by the time of the Philippine Revolution and subsequent American colonial period to present. It developed from Old Tagalog after Christianization in the Spanish colonial period, with heavy influence from Spanish (Early Modern Spanish and Modern Spanish, including influence from Classical Nahuatl (Aztec) and Taíno), Chinese (especially Hokkien), and Japanese. This was also when it first started being written in the Latin script and later the Baybayin script becoming sparsely rarely written.
