Vocabulario de la lengua tagala

Vocabulario de la lengua tagala is the first dictionary of the Tagalog language in the Philippines.

The first dictionary of the Tagalog language was written by franciscan friar Pedro de Buenaventura and published in Pila, Laguna in 1613. He most probably used the Vocabulario tagalo left by fray Juan de Plasencia.

The dictionary became a significant source of inspiration to the Czech-born missionary Pablo Clain in the beginning of the 18th century.

Further compilation of the work was prepared by P. Juan de Noceda and P. Pedro de Sanlucar and published as Vocabulario de la lengua tagala in Manila in 1754 and then repeatedly reedited with the last edition being in 2013 in Manila.
