Filipino would probably be the most correct term as there various languages in the Philippines. I have family there, and its hard to tell them apart... Visayan, ilocano, Waray...Tagalog is only spoken in the region around Manila, although it's basically the same as Tagalog with a few differences.

Today I heard:
Korean
Urdu (Spoken in Pakistan and India for those of you who don't know)
Spanish
Hindi (or some other Indian language, punjabi, gujarti, idk...)
French
and Iranian

I think that's it though T-T...

It's not unusual to Hear Vietnamese, Arabic, Filipino, Finnish, German, or Mandarin either...
The US Nokia hq is like 2 minuets away from my house...
I didn't hear these today, but I usually hear Mandarin and Vietnamese at least once a week, German maybe every other week, and Finnish not too common. I used to hear a lot of Arabic.
These are the most common...

The ones i bolded are ones i hear almost about daily.

I live in a Chicago suburb, and I hear Spanish everyday, and sometimes I hear Hindi or Arabic depending on where I'm at.
