A Mother tongue refers to the language that a group of individuals have learned first from their early years of existence. For everyones information, FILIPINO or TAGALOG is NOT MY MOTHER TONGUE. IT IS NOT MY NATIVE LANGUAGE. Same as all Tausugs, Meranaws, Kapampangans, Maguindanawns, Tbolis, Sama, Iyakan, Samals (badjao), and the rest of the groups who have a separate language and identity and who existed way earlier than Filipino. Please, let us stop confusing ourselves. If you want Buwan ng Wika to be a comemoration of pagbabaliktanaw sa inang wika then the different languages where we really came from, should be highlighted than just featuring a single language in an attempt to dominate the rest. Another painful fact that Filipino historians are trying to hide is that the Filipino language was never a mixture of the different major languages in the Philippines. It is nothing but a modified, modernized Tagalog, the language of the people of the rivers, with maybe a few words from other languages. Do not ever be ashamed to speak your REAL MOTHER TONGUE. your REAL NATIONAL LANGUAGE. For our Languages are the souls of our identity. You loose it, you loose your own identity. -says the Pedicab driver along pedro gil
