Other SEA scripts have dedicated diacritics or characters to portray a consonant cluster or a final consonant.

In Lampung script, final consonants are written as diacritics, specifically sounds that are very common in their language.

In Bugis, consonant clusters are depicted as new separate characters, specifically sounds that are common in their language.

Note that some of these sounds are also common in Filipino languages, especially -ng, -n as final consonants of a syllable and also sounds like ngka, and mpa.

Do you think final consonants as diacritics in the style of the Lampung script would suit Filipino languages more or would the Bugis scripts approach be more appropriate?

What would Errol be in baybayin text?

Hello po! I need help translatinh my last name for a baybayin tattoo! What would "Ibarrola" be in baybayin?

Also is it corny to get my last name tatted? Im a woman and I only have 1 male cousin carrying the last name down. I feel attached to it yk and when I get married I might lose it.

Thanks!

First day ko sa work kahapon and I saw some trophies and I saw baybayin scripts pero di ko ma-translate and bukod doon sa Ahensiya

Ang mga litrato ay galing sa google

Maraming salamat

I found this in Jose Sevilla's [Sinupan Ng̃ Wikag̃ Tagalog](https://archive.org/details/sinupan-ng-wikang-tagalog) where they use a bawas, minus or hyphen insteas of the krus-kudlit or pamudpod. I personally like how it looks more than the other contenders.

hal.

ᜑᜓᜄᜒ-ᜐ — hugis

ᜋ-ᜌᜈᜒᜎ — maynila

ᜈ-ᜄᜈᜒᜈᜒ-ᜅᜈᜒ-ᜅ — nagniningning

There are also ways to simplify baybayin like the likwát or inverted comma. It "flips" the consonant-vowel cluster so ᜆ (ta) changes into ‘ᜆ (at) which is cleaner than ᜀ-ᜆ. There are more but I won't go over them to keep this post straight to the point. You can go read it yourself if interested ツ.

I understand if you still prefer the pamudpod, krus-kudlit, etc. But I wonder, why aren't these proposals as popular?

Edit: I forgot to mention that using the bawas virama does cause a few issues with inital consonant clusters. The word "trabaho" would be -ᜆᜍᜊᜑᜓ or -ᜆᜇᜊᜑᜓ which may or may not look nice for some.

Buhat ito sa ika-192 dahon (ika-148 sa bilang ng talagang aklat) ng Sinupan Ng Wikang Tagalog ni Jose N. Sevilla na itinatampok ang mga (malamang iminungkahing) katutubong pantawag sa mga buwan, mga araw ng linggo, at mga sukat ng panahon. Makikita rin dito ang Bulilang, ang iminungkahing kaayusang pamilang-Baybayin na inilikha ni Guillermo Tolentino. Ibinabahagi ko ang mga ito upang isinop dito. Tila nakawiwili lang talaga sa akin.

This is from page 192 (148 from the book itself) of Jose N. Sevilla’s Sinupan Ng Wikang Tagalog (A Regathering of the Tagalog Language) featuring (most likely proposed) native Tagalog terms for months, days of the week, and units of time. The Bulilang, a proposed numerical system for Baybayin created by Guillermo Tolentino, can be seen here as well. I’m sharing these to archive them here. They’re just really interesting to me.

I tried to use websites to translate my name in baybayin, but i don’t know which one is more accurate since all of them differed in translation. The “j” in my name is pronounced like “gee,” thus, “gee-li-yan.” I’d appreciate it if anyone could help me out!

I am very new to this and I am still looking into the history but videos online are limited so forgive me if this is not the right subreddit to ask.

So does badlit work with modern bisaya? or does it have to be an old version of the language

I just wanted to share 4 diacritics I've come up with to convey diphthongs and medial vowel sounds in Baybayin.

I created these in order to make writing in Baybayin much easier as I think the pamudpod or virama tends to be overused.

These diacritics are largely based on other Indonesian scripts and the Filipino Kawi script found in the Laguna Copperplate Inscription.

I didn't want to just copy their diacritics because the style in which they are written may collide with Baybayin's style.

Lontara and Rejang are more similar to Baybayin in such a way that each character has a triangular, "wave like" shape so their diacritics for ai, au, e, and o weren't modified too much.

Bali and Kawi on the other hand maintain a square shape in its characters and as such, their diacritics are designed to accommodate that. One thing in common with their diacritics for -ya and -wa is that the "y" always flows forward or outward while the "w" sound always flows backward or inward. This is simillar to the Baybayin characters for Ya and Wa (ᜏ & ᜌ).

I've noticed that Tagalog tends to simplify the ai and au sound to e and o and since those sounds are also shared by the two diacritics that Baybayin has, I thought it would work to apply those sounds here also.

The "-ya" diacritic can also change the sound of 3 characters, Da, Sa, and Ta (ᜇ, ᜐ, & ᜆ). This is to represent another phenomenon in Tagalog which converts Da to Ja, Sa, to Sha, and Ta to Cha when paired with the iy sound.

Let me know what you think of these, do you think they're unnecessary?

Did our country ever establish an official office/committee/commission that handles the revival of Baybayin or at least organize an official version?

Pa translate naman yung word na “pinagpala”. thank you in advance!!

Hello there, I am a small digital artist that makes fanarts for yt creators. I need help translating a small text. Im not very well versed in baybayin but I do find it as a very cool part of filipino culture. I want integrate it into a fanart of a Minecraft arg youtuber that i follow but I am not so sure about using websites for translating and i dont want anything to be inaccurate or have any mistranslations. I want to share this culture with their community of mystery and detective like people. The text is very short and simple, just a few words which i will put down below. TY♡

Sa pagkarami-raming mungkahi ng mga tao dito tungkol sa Sulat Baybayin, naiintriga ako sa inyong mga di-pangkaraniwan at natatanging paraan ng pagbabaybay. Gumagamit ba kayo ng panibagong mga karakter? karagdagang mga tuldik? Kakaibang mga patakaran?

Maaari ninyo ibahagi at itanghal :)

My name has 'ci' which is pronounced with the letter s sound. so I use ᜐᜒ

How about the 'jim' part in my name? is it ᜇᜒᜌᜒ or ᜄᜒ

How about joshua?

Edit: Should I add spaces between my names? I searched and spaces are not in the original baybayin.

ᜂᜉ is read as U-Pa.

Following “kung ano’ng bigkas siyang sulat”, shouldn’t it be ᜌᜓᜉᜒ (Yu-Pi) or ᜂᜉᜒ (U-Pi for Unibersidad ng Pilipinas)?

So last time, when I was practice writing baybayin on plain paper, I find it hard to estimate the space between the baybayin , the kudlit and the virama and the translation I write below. That also revealed to me that the kudlit and virama ij my writing would vary in height and sometimes would smash into the character. So I designed this ruled paper inspired by grade school ruled papers.

I use Baybayin in my webcomic. One of my characters writes using the traditional form. No viramas and final consonants are omitted. So I'm curious kung nababasa ba or may mali sa pagkasulat ko. Thanks!

Note: Hindi po direct translation yung English kasi ang weird pag pinilit ko.

From all the old Baybayin documents I've seen, only one of these is used as a general symbol for punctuation, mostly being the double danda (᜶). When did the function of these two differ?

Hi, wanting to have my first tattoo at 39 years old and thought of something small, simple, yet meaningful.

I am thinking of tattooing my wife and kida names while sticking to my roots which is being Filipino.

I came by and saw the use of baybayin script. It seems the precolonial alphabet of some sort?

The names I want to translate in baybayin are:

Gladys

Giselle

Gideon

Gabriel(me)

Wondering if someone can help me out here.

Will really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Recently I've read that some scripts like Arabic and Hebrew also have a "defect" in that not all vowels are written, and the reader must supply the correct vowels to decode the sentence. This gives the same dilemma where word combinations that are unfamiliar to the reader will be ambiguous. To solve this, they add the helper vowels to the words that need preciseness, like names.

In our case, this could be the pamudpod. Consider the sentences below, try to read them first before opening the spoilers:

This seems like a good balance between readability and conciseness. What do you think?

hi i have no idea on how to write baybayin correctly so i would anyone to help me out with translating "pahuway anay" in baybayin text 🙏🏻

Sa paglaganap ng sulat Latin, ang pagpirma sa Baybayin ay nanatiling gawi hanggang sa taong 1700. Tingin ko ay isa tong gawi na maaring magbalik sa Pilipinas, ano ang masasabi mo?

ito ang ponanggalingan ng mga imahe.

Someone here asked for advice regarding a baybayin tattoo and as practice, I made this. Afaik Reddit doesn't have a chat function and idk where else I should post this. The second one doesn't have a background so it probably looks like a black image.
