the language patterns of 🇵🇭 telenovelas are so fascinating — they don't shy from code-switching, up to the point, i think, it becomes a class marker?

in comparison to 🇮🇩's sinetron, where the language is more casual, but less inclusion from English or other colonial languages

vs say 🇲🇾 dramas, where the language can become practically stilted or overtly-formal, unless you're Westernised (and immoral).

but fuck tho, they're showing women sleeping in hijabs now. that's stupid.
