Reconstructionist Magwayen prayer in Badlit caligraphic art

Translation

Balaan Uyamot nga Magwayen, Inahang Kamatayon,

Manggagabay sa mitaliwan, Halangdon nga Abyan.

Tubsa ang mga kalag gikan sa pagkadaot,

kay kami nagahinaot nga dili Mo unta sila ipakatawo sa kabutang nga alaot.

Kay ang kinabuhi hamili man ug inampingan nan haw-asa kami gikan sa lawod sa kahiagoman.

O Ginoo Magwayen, Balantay sa minatay,

Ganghaan sa sulad, Ganghaan sa katahomanan,

Ganghaan sa kahiusahan nga wala ing kataposan.

Hunonga ang balod nga nagapaunlod ngadto sa ngihib sa kasakit

ug ipaabot Mo kanamo ang kahilunaan nga hingpit.

what does this necklace say?

i was digging through my things and found this baybayin necklace but cannot read what it says. i recall receiving this necklace in error from a company that makes custom necklaces so we never figured out what it says.

Correct Baybayin translation!?

Hello. We have a family and business name with TY in it. Hoping for some help on the translation of the TY (pronunciation “Tee”) name in Baybayin script. According to google Gemini it should look like this “ ᜆᜒ “ is this accurate ? We are wanting to get a tattoo of this as a cousin group so accuracy is important.

Edit - added pronunciation

A reliable and correct table for Badlit or Suwat Bisaya baybayin script?

I’m making little post it notes for different baybayin scripts as part of some Philippine mythology stories I’m conceptualizing. I’ve already made ones for Tagalog and Bikolano variants, but I’m having trouble finding a reliable table for the Bisaya (Visayan) script. I want to be as accurate as possible and don’t want to fall prey to misinformation and use a misleading image.

Mousepad

I was using this before i transitioned to glass. Just want to share in the group. Design mimics an old banig texture with baybayin script all over it.

Sambali Language

Hi! A native sambal speaker here. So, for starters I’ve been learning, and studying baybayin like how it came to be, where it descended (primarily cause I was studying thai). Anyway, as I was continuing my research, I noticed that sambali as a language doesn’t pair with baybayin.

Let me explain; in sambali we say maganda umaga as “Maabig a bokla”, in here a gives off “uh” sound rather than conventional “ah” sound. This doesn’t really highlight it in baybayin, which made me look if there’s a script for sambali which would likely similar to baybayin.

However, to no luck there’s no surviving evidence that something like that exists. Fortunately, historical accounts suggest that there might be a writing script used by ancient sambali, cause spaniards noted that “Zambales already had a writing at the time of the conquest. Also, sambal is first recorded in 1601 making it one of the earliest recorded Philippine language. Altho the evidence for the script is strong; the evidence for the exact physical writing practices of Sambal specifically is less direct due to lack of surviving written records.

To date, no discoveries have been made with regards to written manuscripts of the alphabet (if there is). Personally, I hope that a discovery can be made, this will be vital specially cause the sambal variety that is being spoken in my municipality is slowly dying.

Diwata Magwayen artwork and balak poem

Magwayen is the Visayan Goddess of the Sea and Afterlife

Artwork by Julia Dagandan

below is the Cebuano badlit balak invocation rendered in the Latin script

Ang tubig nagbuhi
Ang tubig kinabuhi
Tubig ang tuboran sa pangamuhi
Tubig ang nagdala sa buot sa kinabuhi
Tubig mao ang diwa nga nauna sa ubang mitna

Sa wala pay kabalangayan
Sa wala pay kapulongan
Una pa mapikas ang kawayan
Ang tubig diha na daan

Gikanap kini ni Magwayen sa halapad nga kapunawpunawan
Aron matuman iyang tuyo
Ug dungan sa nagdaganas nga balod sa kamingawan
Ang unang ginhawa mingbutho

Kini ang wahig nga pagasubayon
sa kahimugsoan ug kamatayon
ngadto sa kahimtang nga dayon
Saylo sa kasublian nga makanunayon

sa mga nasayod niini sa tiunay
diha si Magwayen nga nagbantay
sa matag anib nga milabay
sa matag hugna nga milahutay

Ang tubig nga buhi
gipatubod ni Magwayen sa kalibotan
Sa pagpausbaw sa kinabuhi
Kay kini ang matuhopong kahulogan
Nga nagdagayday sa lukopngatanan
