Tagalog[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From a blend of badya (“speak; notify”) + dila (“tongue”) or a blend of babala (“speak; warn; order”) + dila (“tongue”), coined by the Samahan ng mga Mananagalog (Association of Tagalog Writers) around 1905–1906. An alternative etymology posits it to be a blend of balana (“anyone; people”) + dila (“tongue”), literally “the people's tongue” but Lope K. Santos disagrees as balana was also a coinage even later than balarila.
