Tagalog is an Austronesian language, spoken mainly in the Philippines, though there are groups of people in other countries that speak it- the United States, Malaysia, and the UK, to name a few. It can be written in Baybayin or Latin script, though the Latin script is much more common.

Ng can be pronounced in two different ways. When it is alone, as ng, it's NANG. However, when it occurs inside of a word ang, it is pronounced as NG (ŋ).
The combination of dy makes a sound like the English 'j.'
The combination of sy is like the Indonesian/Malaysian combination of it and is pronounced as SH.
The combination of ts is pronounced as CH.
Mga, a word, is rather like ng and is pronounced MUNGGAH.

Lesson III
Tagalog Grammar
The common practice is to have the comment come before the topic, for example, Tumakbo (comment) si Juan (topic) = "John (topic) ran (comment)."
When the same word order as English is used, the topic is connected to the comment by the particle ay. Example: Si Juan (topic) ay (particle) tumakbo (comment).
Si
Used to indicate that they are the subjecct, ejemplo, Tumakbo si Juan, "John ran." Nakita ko si, "John was seen by me" - "I saw John."
Ni
Indicates possession, example, Mga anak ni Juan ay mabit, "John's children are good."
Ang
With other nouns, ang indicates the subject, example, Ang balaraw ay matulis, "The dagger is sharp."
Ng
Indicates a direct object or possession, example, Kumain ako ng isda, "I ate a fish."
Ba
Ba is a particle that signifies that the question is a 'yes' or 'no' question. It is placed as either the second or third word.
Rin, pala, naman, nga, po, na, lang, ka, mo, and ko are exceptions in which ba is placed as the third word instead of second.
