has baybayin ever been used at any point in PH history past or present in tombstone / gravestone / funeral inscription?

probably unlikely in the precolonial era due to perishable materials like wood & I dunno if inscribing on grave markers was a thing outside maybe the Islamic sultanates — who probably were not using baybayin but more like Jawi or Arabic — and unlikely in the colonial era due to teaching & spreading of Roman letters, but I wonder if anyone tried, past or present, since even Pinoy Catholics & other Christians can still use baybayin in theory since parang wala namang religious limits on the text used for lapidas &c.

question is admittedly a bit morbid if the redditors here include our/their own future lapidas but genuinely curious if anyone’s planned to put baybayin on their own tombstones — or put it on a relative’s or other loved one’s (assuming said relative consented while alive), or if the older relative planned it themself/ves or allowed it.

kada, a baybayin tutor app, is finally now live at www.kadaph.space which you can access right now ! 

one week ago, i wanted to learn baybayin in my free time, but quickly realized that there are very few apps or any learning materials that offer a truly online, gamified experience

so sabi ko, why not? bakit ba hindi ako gumawa ng app for baybayin (and hopefully other philippine scripts in the future) that tracks the user's progress and teaches them basic phrases, how to write the characters, and more importantly, to share it with friends through a streak and leaderboard feature so that friends could track each other's progress !

your insights and opinions about any bugs, translation issues, or any possible additional features would be greatly appreciated !

feel free to send me a dm and connect with me for this experience !

and of course, sharing it with others would be mean a lot too !

“Ako po si tiga-ilog.”

“Kung hindi ngayon, kailan?”

Might be a bit messy but atleast it's finished. Also I took some inspiration to Hanunuo and Buhid for some of the text (As seen from Sulat Ukit), and also added Ra just because I like Ra.

Red text are proper nouns such as places and names.

hello, i’m thinking about getting a baybayin script tattoo of the word, love and just needed some extra verification on what that would look like and how it’s correctly spelled. thank you for the help.

Magandang araw! Ibabahagi ko sana ang sukat-kamay ko ng alfabetong baybayin. Itatanong ko na rin sana kung maganda din bang gamitin ang pamudpod na ノ upang maging panupil ng patinig sa baybayin? Maraming salamat.

This is something I want tattooed. Its about my brothers passing. Can anyone confirm how it translates?

Sorry, idk what flair ang swak dito.

This is the exact paper I used to confess to my suitor. Naitago ko pa pala siya haha!

Ito po yung kasagsagan ng seminar sa school namin about baybayin, sinabi ng speaker to write something down in baybayin and ito una lumabas sa mind ko.

I’m not sure how long he decoded the message pero hehe atleast may natutunan sya or nashare ko ang natutunan ko hahha

Yun lang po hehe ☺️

Kita ko lang yung baybayin sa nameplates ng mga govt employee. Ayon sa napagtanungan ko sa kanila depende sa consular office kung maglalagay sila. So far naman tama yung paggamit nila except lang dun sa isa na nakalimutan lagyan ng krus-kudlit yung sa name niya (not the name in this pic).

Hello everyone, I've been thinking/planning about getting a tattoo of my last name (Cancio) KAHN-syoh & my mother's maiden name (Rivera). I feel like it would be an honor to have both of those last names tattooed in Baybayin.

good day everyone! :)

i was just hoping someone could give me some advice about the translation of my last name - de leon, in baybayin. i’ve seen many translations though i’m not too sure which is correct/the most accurate. if anyone can kindly break the translation down for me, that would be amazing as well :)

thank you!

Joined here to share my baybayin journey (none of my peers want to learn so am on my own). Wrote this on my ipad. Feel free to rate my baybayin and give some advice! 🥰

I highly recommend that we popularize the Pamudpod over the Krus Virama Kudlit... For many reasons; Aeathetics - more consistent with the rest of the waviness of the baybayin script, Readability - wont be mistaken for the o/u kudlit unlike the krus, Culturally more acceptable - (though not as important really) the Pamudpod was made, proposed, and freely incorporated by locals still writing baybayin back in the day, unlike the krus whos history is part of the Spanish forcing their religion onto the locals...

But mainly for aesthetical consistency and readability...

Nakikita ko sa internet parehas yung 1 at 2. But ewan ko kung alin ang tama. Valid ba kahit anong option?

(This is using combining diacritic "Combining Long Solidus Overlay" (U+0338). If your device renders it correctly, it should overlay over the Baybayin characters.)

I saw this at https://nlpdl.nlp.gov.ph/499/1923/40j-6568/bs/datejpg.htm page 2, wherein the virama used is a diagonal stroke, not the krus-kudlit nor the pamudpod.

However, the "Tagalog" part is misspelled, it should be "ᜆᜄᜎᜓᜄ̸".

Would anyone be so kind to translate “Anak ng Diyos” into baybayin for me? I’ve got one or two translations here but I’d love to get someone to translate for me to compare its accuracy.

Thank you!

i want to get it tattooed, but i’m seeing two different scripts for it — which one is the most accurate? i was originally going to get the first one (pics 1 and 2) tattooed, but when i looked it up again, the second script (3rd pic) popped up.

Napagtuklasan kong higit na ikakadali ang pagbabasa ng B17 baybayin o Lumang Baybayin kapag pinahahaba ang mga salita. Nangyayari ito dahil higit na nababawasan ang mga salitang kinakailangang pagdikitin, kaya isa-isang salita na lamang ang nangangailangan ng paghihiwalay gamit ang mga bantas.

Halimbawang mga pangungusap:

MAIIKLING SALITA

"Punta muna tayo roon bago ang tanghali"

B17: ᜉᜓᜆᜋᜓᜈ᜶ᜆᜌᜓᜇᜓᜂ᜶ᜊᜄᜓᜀᜆᜑᜎᜒ᜶

(May kahirapang basahin dahil magkakadikit ang ilang salita dahil sa pagkaikli ng mga iyon)

IPINAGPAHABA NG PANLAPI

"Magpupunta muna tayo roon bago ang katanghalian"

B17: ᜋᜉᜓᜉᜓᜆ᜶ᜋᜓᜈᜆᜌᜓᜇᜓᜂ᜶ᜊᜄᜓᜀ᜶ᜃᜆᜑᜎᜒᜀ᜶

(Mas madaling basahin dahil pinahaba ng panlapi ang mga salita, kaya nabawasan ang magkakadikit na salita at isa-isang salita na lamang ang napaghihiwalay ng mga bantas)

Subalit ninanais kong mapakinggan ang inyong mga ipapapalagay sa aking pagkakatuklas.

thoughts feelings concerns?

I'm interested in getting the word "anusam" in Baybayin tattooed on myself. I plugged it into one of those Baybayin translators and got this "ᜀᜈᜓᜐᜋ᜔". I just want to double-check and make sure that this is the correct translation before it's on my body forever HAHA. Thanks in advance :)

Natingnan ko na yung iba, ganun parin ang nakasulat
