If you’ve spent time with Filipinos, you’ve probably heard the words “Tagalog” and “Filipino” used interchangeably. For many, the difference feels minor, but behind those two labels is a long history shaped by migration, colonization, nationalism, and modern technology.
We’re happy to share our latest work on SEA-VL Phase 2, continuing our effort to build language systems tailored for Southeast Asian languages and cultures.
