Patuloy na kinikilala ng Oxford English Dictionary (OED) ang impluwensya ng wikang Filipino sa pandaigdigang leksikon matapos itong magdagdag ng ilang salitang Filipino sa pinakabagong edisyon nito ngayong Marso 2025.
Ayon sa OED, ang mga sumusunod na salitang Filipino ay pinili batay sa kanilang malawakang paggamit hindi lamang sa Pilipinas kundi maging sa ibang bansa kung saan may malaking komunidad ng mga Pilipino.
