Earlier this month, Pope Francis made a
historic visit to the Philippines. Many public addresses were planned, with
speeches prepared in English. At several stops, however, Pope Francis decided
to discard his prepared speeches and speak from the heart in his native
Spanish.
While there are Spanish speakers in the
Philippines, and Spanish is closely related to that nation’s dominant native
language of Tagalog, English is the Philippines' second language. The Pope’s
shift to Spanish would have left hundreds of thousands of attentive Filipinos
completely lost, creating the need for an interpreter. The Pope, it turns out,
regularly travels with a priest who serves as his Spanish to English
interpreter, ensuring that the Holy Father can speak freely in his native
tongue and be understood nearly worldwide in the 21st Century’s lingua franca.
