Here is where I stand with Baybayin

  1. I do not think it should replace the Latin script. "National Unity" this or "decolonize that", I feel like the Philippines would benefit way more by addressing other issues that actually affect millions of Filipinos. Insert poverty, pollution, teen pregnancy, the legal ability to divorce, the ability for same sex marriage, protection of indigenous people, or preserving regional languages that still exist, including ones with actual living non latin scripts like Hanuno'o. The fact of the matter is that the Philippines doesn't NEED baybayin.

  2. I DO believe that the people who wish to study baybayin are able to do so, and that we should promote others to learn it as long as it isn't at the expense of anything. I feel like transliterations are a good place to start. But no, I don't think the goal is to replace Latin.

  3. I don't like the invention of new letters. No further comment.

  4. I hate writing e/i. It always comes out ugly in my handwriting.

Why is this script SO fun to write in?!!

I started learning Baybayin alongside modern Tagalog and it has quickly become my favorite thing ever! I can’t figure out why it’s so much more fun to write in than other languages I’ve learned 😅

Attempt 2 - Organizing Baybayin

Thanks to the feedback from my previous post!

The reason I want to organize how I write and read baybayin is to be consistent with our ancestors.

(Side note: We should really push for our government to make an official statement. There are too many unofficial versions, and a lot of people are writing and reading Baybayin differently.)

A lot of writing scripts forces foreign sounds to follow their local phonetic rules, like Japan and Korea. So we should also do the same.

Also, please take note that many languages of the Philippines only have five vowels: a, e, i, o, u

We do not have other vowel sounds like English does, where 'a' have two sounds.

Any comment or feedback?

Attempt 1 - Organizing Baybayin

Hey Guys 👋

There are a few versions of Baybayin like B17 (OG), B17+, MB17, B24, and a few others I think.

This attempt is mostly for personal purposes, but I really hope our government can make an official version.

I know it is important to preserve the original script, but change is needed in order to accommodate loan words.

So, aside from the original 17 syllables, I added the new characters for the english alphabet. This is to accommodate English loan words, mostly names.

Although we have English loan words, we actually change their spelling once we say or write them in Tagalog so I highly doubt these 8 new syllables would be used as much as the OG ones. But for the sake of names or other words, we need new characters.

For the vowels, I decided to use kudlits, instead of using the modern characters to separate the e/i and o/u.

For the kudlits:

redditor 1:

I used a dot and a line to separate the vowels except A. Dot is for e and o because they are round like, and line for i and U because they have lines.

I still followed the placing where if the kudlit is above it is e/i, and if below it is o/u.

redditor 2:

I change the Spaniards' krus into a fish symbol. This is used to remove vowels inside a word. (e.g. nagbasa, bundok).

While the other symbol is to remove a vowel when a word ends with a consonant. (e.g. mahal, banal)

I mentioned redditor cause I learned it from them, honestly can't find their names, forgot where they commented.

So basically, this is my first attempt 😅. Please don't be harsh 😅. But yeah, I guess I'll be using this one. Comment down if I missed anything or if there's inconsistency.

Thank you!

hello hindi talaga ako nakababasa ng baybayin but i have a friend na ginagawan ko ng deep personal tattoo design to commemorate his yumaong lola, and he wanted a baybayin for this text " wilhelmina ". im not sure kung accurate yung mga filipino to baybayin translator online. Isa sa mga na-generate is " ᜏᜒᜎ᜔ᜑᜒᜎ᜔ᜋᜒᜈ "
