=== Southeast Asia === {{Main|Philippine English|Singapore English}} The first significant exposure of the [[Philippines]] to the English language occurred in 1762 when the [[British occupation of Manila|British occupied Manila]] during the [[Seven Years' War]], but this was a brief episode that had no lasting influence. English later became more important and widespread during American rule between 1898 and 1946, and remains an official language of the Philippines. Today, the use of English is ubiquitous in the Philippines, from [[Road signs in the Philippines|street signs]] and marquees, government documents and forms, courtrooms, the media and entertainment industries, the business sector, and other aspects of daily life. One such usage that is also prominent in the country is in speech, where most [[Filipinos]] from [[Manila]] would use or have been exposed to [[Taglish]], a form of code-switching between [[Tagalog language|Tagalog]] and English. A similar code-switching method is used by urban native speakers of [[Visayan languages]] called [[Bislish]].
