Who is the grammarian in Philippines?

There isn't a single "grammarian" in the Philippines. It's not like there's a single authority on grammar like there is in some other countries.

Here's why:

* No Official Language Academy: Unlike countries like France (Académie Française) or Spain (Real Academia Española), the Philippines doesn't have a single official institution dedicated to codifying and maintaining the language.

* Multiple Languages: The Philippines has over 170 languages, with Filipino and English being the official languages. Each language has its own grammar rules.

* Evolving Language: The Filipino language is constantly evolving, influenced by various regional dialects and English.

Who are the authorities on Filipino grammar?

Instead of a single "grammarian," the Philippines has several sources of linguistic authority:

* Linguists and Language Experts: Universities and research institutions have linguists who study and analyze the Filipino language, contributing to its grammar.

* Writers and Educators: Authors, journalists, and educators play a crucial role in shaping and promoting proper Filipino grammar.

* Government Agencies: The Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF) is the government body responsible for promoting and developing the Filipino language, including its grammar.

* Language Dictionaries and Textbooks: These resources provide standardized grammatical rules and usage.

So, while there's no single "grammarian" in the Philippines, there are many individuals and institutions dedicated to shaping and maintaining the language.
