    When did Tagalog change from three to five vowels?

    Question #72740. Asked by zbeckabee. (Nov 28 06 6:06 PM)

    		Upon the arrival of the Spanish, it was changed to 5 vowels to accomodate for Spanish words. I am not sure of an exact date though.

    What word in the English lauguage has five vowels all the same, with no other vowels?

    What is Tagalog?

    Alice Roberts, a presenter on the BBC programme Coast, has the strangest vowels I've ever heard. She speaks standard English except for two vowels. She says 'most' and all other similar words as 'maist' and 'down' and 'thousand' etc as 'dain' and 'thaisand'. She lives in Bristol but doesn't sound like that. I'm good with accents but all her other sounds have no regional bias at all and these changes she does have follow no known area. Can anyone help?
