In this episode, a Filipino team takes on an Indonesian team in a more complicated challenge, with a few words and sentences. We had previously done a Filipino-Indonesian video, but due to popular demand, having received many messages on Instagram to do a part 2, we've done it and made it into a different format.

Filipino and Indonesian are two Austronesian languages with many common words and phrases. Indonesian (bahasa Indonesia) is a standardized register of Malay and the official language of Indonesia. Indonesia is a multi-lingual country and most Indonesians speak another language, however, the Indonesian language has been used as a lingua franca in the archipelago for centuries. Indonesian is also recognized as minority language in East Timor. Filipino, on the other hand, is the standard register of the Tagalog language and the official language of the Philippines. Both Filipino and Indonesian are classified as Malayo-Polynesian languages, a subgroup of the Austronesian languages. Due to the close relationship between the two languages, there are many cognates between them. Indonesia and the Philippines have had a very close history and as a result not only share a lot of common words in the official languages, but also very similar cultural characteristics.

    Indonesian people always think i'm indonesian. And when i try to speak their language they get amazed because i sound like a native indonesian 😂 - btw, Bisaya Filipina here, currently in Indonesia hahaha
  • I am Indonesian and started learning Tagalog as I moved to Germany 11 years ago because I met many Pinays here. And guess what I speak Tagalog faster than German even I learned German at German Course and I learned Tagalog mostly by hearing their talking. Coz There are so many similarity between Tagalog and Indonesia and made me faster to speak
  • We Filipino’s should have closer ties to our brothers and sisters in Indonesia 🥰

    Filipino language is very unique. It is like a combination of Spanish, Indonesian/Malaysian, with a little influence from American English
  • I’m a Filipino and Most of my friends when I’m abroad are Indonesians.I can always relate when they are talking in their own language. To me it almost sounds like broken tagalog or tagalog with visayan accent.

    Philippines and Indonesia, brothers! Love from the Philippines!
  • Indonesia and the Philippines are friends - Greetings from Ph
  • As a Filipino, I noticed a lot of the similar words have differences in stress Filipino: Limá Indonesian: Líma
  • Tagalog is so close to the Old Javanese language, example: • Old Javanese language use the particle called "pwa" that is similar to "po" in Tagalog • Old Javanese use -ng for affix, example 2005 in old Javanese is rwang iwu lima, close to Tagalog "dalawang libo lima". Both rwa and dalawa means two and affixed with -ng • Some words is only consonant/ vowel swapping, i with e and u with o, d and r, j and d, b and w. Example: bato in Tagalog and watu in old Javanese
  • Even in Cruise ships Filipino Crew and Indonesian Crew are close and friendly to each other.

  • After living in Mindanao for a quiet sometime, Its feel weird that I can understand Bahasa.😨. Probably, the dialects in Mindanao are more closer to Bahasa Language. Amazing!
  • I'm Indonesian, but people think I'm Filipino, they say my face and my voice are like Filipinos, sometimes they speak Tagalog, even though I don't understand the language ... I'm also very familiar with Filipinos, because they are veryfriendly and kind 😊😊

    I've been learning Bahasa Indonesia for quite a few months right now and I kinda get every sentences there. I'm so proud of myself 😂 Those months have been sooo worth it. Btw, I'm from 🇵🇭
  • I really love indonesian people.. when I was there I really felt the connection between me as a Filipino and them as Indonesians. I can say that Ph and Indo are the closest in terms of everything in the ASEAN region..
