Tayabas Tagalog

Tayabas Tagalog (also known as Tayabasin) is a distinct form of Tagalog primarily spoken by the native Tagalog people of Quezon Province, which was formerly known as Tayabas Province. This dialect has evolved over time and retains unique linguistic features and vocabulary influenced by the province history and culture. This dialect retains many linguistic features that are not as prevalent in the more common Tagalog spoken in metropolitan areas like Manila. Within the province, there are also variants of dialectal terms that may be peculiar to other towns, adding to the linguistic diversity of the area.
