Tayabas Tagalog (also known as Tayabasin) is a distinct form of Tagalog primary spoken by the native Tagalog people of Quezon Province, which was formerly known as Tayabas Province.[1][2][3] This dialect has evolved over time and retains unique linguistic features and vocabulary influenced by the province history and culture.[4] This dialect retains many linguistic features that are not as prevalent in the more standardized Tagalog spoken in metropolitan areas like Manila.[5] 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.[6]
Dialectal vocabulary
[change | change source]Tayabas Tagalog highlights thousands of native vocabulary words that are not present in Bulacan-Manila Tagalog, as documented in the lexicographic study of Dr. E. Arsenio Manuel.[7] Most of Tayabasin dialectal vocabulary can be found in Vocabulario De Lengua Tagala, the first Spanish-Tagalog dictionary written by Pedro de San Buenaventura in 1613. This means that the words preserved in Tayabas Tagalog were already in use even before the Spaniards conquered the Philippines.[8]

Literary Form
[change | change source]The term “awit” in Tagalog primarily means “song.” It has been used as a generic term for various types of songs. In Quezon Province, Tayabas "awit" is unique for its twelve-syllable verses and its association with dance. It is commonly performed during social gatherings and celebrations, such as weddings and baptisms.[12]
Sample quotes from Tayabas Tagalog Awit Fragments "Awit sa Pagpapatulog ng Bata." This lullaby (Tagalog: hele or oyayi) is traditionally sung to help put children to sleep with its gentle and soothing melody.[13]
Naito na naman ang bangkang may kangkong,
Kasama si Neneng sa pagbabakasyon
Saya ay maskota, tapis at patadyong,
Baro, bitubito, panyong layronlayron.
Ikaw pala Neneng ay maraming damitPurongpurong sutla habing kamarines;
Sino ang magdadala, sino ang magbibitbit?
Si Donya Mariya, anak ni Don Felis.
