Comment on Why is 'Philippines' spelled with a PH, but 'Filipino' is spelled with an F?
ThomasWilliams@lemmy.world 3 days agoThat would be latin ? I’m pretty sure that’s where “Phillipines” originates.

Greek name meaning he who likes horses, the name of Alexander the great’s father, then a Spanish King’s who colonized the islands.
Therefore actually spelled with a Φ and the issue being different transliterations of it.
