What is Baybayin?

Baybayin is an ancient Philippine writing system that was widely used before the Spanish colonial period. It is classified as an abugida, or syllabic script.

•
Default vowel: Consonants carry the vowel /a/ by default.
•
Kudlit marks: A mark above or below a character changes the vowel to /i, e/ or /o, u/.
•
Independent vowels: ᜀ (a), ᜁ (i/e), ᜂ (o/u).
•
Spanish influence: During colonization, the virama sign (᜔) was introduced to cancel the vowel.

Today, Baybayin is being rediscovered as a symbol of Filipino identity, art, and culture.
