hi bayoumom,

Yes you spelled it write. Tagalog is both a written and spoken language. Where is your son-in-law from?

Modern Tagalog uses the same letters as english.

Here's a sample:

Pupunta ako sa tindahan. Kunti lang ang pera ko. Malapit ang pwesto namin.

Befoer the Spanish arrived in the Philippines they had their own alphabet called the Alibata or Baybayin.
