Do you think any part of this thinking ia due to social conditioning?
I’d guess that it’s more that we grew up in the west speaking English and hearing other western languages.
Tagalog is based on Spanish so it’s not so bad. I lived in Manila for a while in my twenties, when spoken softly it can be very nice. My mom is from the southern Philippines and she speaks a dialect called Ilonggo, and when her and my aunts speak to each other it sounds hideous to me
