Usage Note

Talahanayan is the formal Filipino term for a table of data — used in academic papers, official reports, and textbooks. It is derived from tala (record) and is the standard word taught in Filipino-language education. In informal conversation, Filipinos more often say 'table' in English, but talahanayan is expected in formal Filipino writing.
