Days of the Week in Tagalog
Listed below are the Tagalog words for the days of the week. Linggo can also be used as a noun for "week".

Linggo | Sunday |
Lunes | Monday |
Martes | Tuesday |
Miyerkules | Wednesday |
Huwebes | Thursday |
Biyernes | Friday |
Sabado | Saturday |
Spanish speakers can find the above words to be familiar, because they are native versions of the Spanish words for the days of the week, i.e. Miércoles = Miyerkules; Jueves = Huwebes. During the colonization of the Philippines under the Spanish Crown, locals adopted the foreign words for everyday use by substituting foreign letters like 'J' and changing the spelling to look more Tagalog.
The only difference is the Tagalog word for Sunday, which is Linggo. This could be the case of the shortening of the Spanish Domingo=Mingo=Minggo and later on the letter "M" changed to "L". Thus, it becomes Linggo. Since, Linggo (Sunday) is very important to Filipinos because of their Christian heritage influenced by the Spaniards, the seven-day week is also called Linggo. One week is "Isang Linggo" in Tagalog. Last week is "Nakaraang Linggo" and so on.
