Filipino is the name of both the people of the Philippines, and its national language. Filipino the language is based on Tagalog, but includes some words borrowed from Spanish, English, and a number of words from the many different dialects spoken in the Philippines.

Take note that the plural of Filipino is Filipinos. People often use Philipino, Philipinoe, and Filipinoes; all of which are wrong. An alternative spelling which is commonly accepted is "Pilipino", which is the Tagalog spelling.
