A few words for the Philippines

 The national language is Tagalog which includes a few words of Spanish and Malay. Emphasize the middle syllable of TaGAlog. Like AH in the middle.

English - Tagalog

Good morning - Magandan(g) umaga sound like mag-an-dumb, ooh, ma, gar as in garden

good afternoon - magandang babi

thank you - salamat (like salaam, or shalom, arabic and Hebrew for peace, as in the word Jeru-salem

help - tulong

are you okay - okay ka lang (ka is you)

I am okday - ayas lang ako

goodbye = paalam (like b for 'bye turned upside down, followed by salaam with the s at the start

breakfast - agahan

lunch - Tanghalion

I am looking for the words for please, dinner, and good night. I expect to find them in the phrase book in Wikivoyage, if not in Translate Google.
