Taglish continues to be used more and more and it seems that the “conyo” culture continues to grow and evolve. However, where did this “conyo” culture even come from anyway? “Conyo” comes from the spanish word “c_nt”. However, throughout the years, the meaning eventually evolved to “rich kids”. There are two variations of Taglish; moderate Taglish, and coñotic taglish. Moderate Taglish is the simple mixing of Tagalog and English, while coñotic Taglish is more complicated. One theory of how Taglish came to be is that “rich kids” are required to speak in English at home, so they end up mixing the two languages. Another possible theory is that conyo kids communicate with their “yayas” or household helpers using a mix of Tagalog and English, forming Taglish.
