Commission on the Filipino Language
Commission on the Filipino Language, Government language institution in San Miguel, Manila, Philippines
The Commission on the Filipino Language occupies a concrete building in Manila, functioning as the central authority for language regulation in the Philippines.
Founded in 1991 through Republic Act No. 7104, the Commission replaced the Institute of Philippine Languages to manage and develop the national language system.
The Commission coordinates with regional representatives to document and preserve 175 native languages across the Philippine archipelago through research and documentation programs.
The facility maintains a National Dictionary database and provides language standardization tools for educational institutions and government agencies throughout the Philippines.
The Commission identified 37 endangered languages in 2015, including the Kinarol-an language of Negros Occidental, which faces near extinction.
