Filipinos (Filipino: Mga Pilipino)[49] are citizens or people identified with the country of the Philippines. The majority of Filipinos today are predominantly Catholic[50] and come from various Austronesian peoples, all typically speaking Filipino, English, or other Philippine languages. Despite formerly being subject to Spanish colonialism, only around 2–4% of Filipinos are fluent in Spanish.[51] Currently, there are more than 185 ethnolinguistic groups in the Philippines each with its own language, identity, culture, tradition, and history.
