Linguistic research in the Philippines: Trends, prospects, & challenges

Different Manobo languages ​​belong to the Philippine subfamily of the language superfamily called Austronesian (Murray - Polynesia in old literature). Several linguists at the Summer Linguistics Institute discovered that the Mindanao language belongs to a subgroup of Philippine languages. And they call it the original Manobo language. Oral traditions and records on the introduction of Muslim to Mindanao will provide us with clues to the history of the former Spanish manobo. Their ancestors lived in the lower valley of the Prangi River in the center of Mindanao. In the 14th century, Muslim missionary Sharif Kabbangsuan came to convert from Johor. According to the tradition of oral tradition, Manoval leaders are Tabunaway and Mamaru's two brothers. They live in Banobo, a small river that flows into the Mindanao River near the current Cotabato remains. Tabunaway rejected Muslim, but suggested that his brother obeyed the conversion

One in about 20 people in the Philippines lives on Mindanao Island in the south. Approximately 5 million people including at least 13 ethnic linguistic groups believe in Islam. Despite the differences, they have a common connection in the Islamic faith. Muslim was introduced by the Arab merchants and Muslim missionaries in the Philippines in 1310, and quickly spread throughout the archipelago. However, the arrival of the Spaniards in 1565 examined and delayed further progress. As most Muslims refused to convert to Christianity, Spanish settlers succeeded in conquering Muslim local residents despite succeeded in creating the concept of "others" There was nothing.

Linguistics and scientific research of languages ​​around the world are greatly influenced by history, culture, social and political factors. In the Philippines, August was designated Buwan NG WIKA to celebrate the promotion of the national language. Buwan NG WIKA before being called Linggo NG WIKA (1 week Philippine language). This is a one-month celebration to celebrate a week from the start to extend Linggo NG WIKA

One of the main tasks is to build language resources from biased digital formats such as vocabulary and morphological information, dictionaries, grammar, corpus, translation rules, etc. Linguistic information about the languages ​​of the Philippines is available, but far focus has always been in theoretical linguistics, and computation aspects of these languages ​​were rarely done. In this research, I will consider computational problems on Philippine languages, especially Philippine languages. Some of these issues include complex language formats of languages, free word order of sentences, and sentence focus.
