Tagalog (Austronesian, Philippine): definite/indefinite distinction via case markers — ang (definite-like topic marker) vs ng (indefinite-like); WALS codes as definite word distinct from demonstratives; three-way demonstrative distance (ito/iyan/iyon) coded as person-oriented in WALS; same forms for pronominal and adnominal demonstratives; 3rd-person pronoun siya unrelated to demonstratives.
