Tagalog seems to sound more similar to Burmese than to Viet for some reason..now that I've heard both languages being spoken. Though Viet seems to sound way different from Mandarin or Cantonese I believe. Well some people have told me that Tagalog sounds kind of like a mix between Indian & Viet which is interesting, and I sort of agree with them; For instance to me when men speak Tagalog it tends to sound a lil more Indian-like while when women speak it it may sound a lil more Viet-like. My White American brother-in-law has even traveled to both Philippines and Indonesia and he told me that Tagalog and Indonesian sound quite similar to each other, I guess cuz both are considered Austronesian languages... Actually around 50-85% of Malaysia/Indonesia's genetic makeup is 'Austro-Asiatic', while the rest being Austronesian dating back to the Out-of-Taiwan migrations, so I think the Austronesian expansion was largely a linguistic expansion as well.

Chinese say northern Viet dialect sounds like a mix of Thai and Cantonese
