A sociolinguist, Dr Loy Lising, has woven the reasons why some Filipinos struggle to pronounce certain letters in words and why we should embrace our own language.
Key Points
- Sociolinguist Loy Lising explained that the letters F and V are not part of the Filipino alphabet, which is why some Filipinos find it difficult to pronounce them in words.
- She also added that if one learns other languages like English later in life, they might find it harder to pronounce letters that are not part of their native alphabet.
- Dr Loy advises embracing bilingual or multilingual, as it's a part of our identity.
