    The document discusses the Baybayin writing system, which was the pre-colonial writing system of the Philippines. It was used before the Spanish introduced the Latin alphabet. The document explains that Baybayin is derived from the Tagalog word for "syllable" and each character represents a syllable. It then provides details on the traditional 17-character Baybayin alphabet, including the four basic strokes and how vowels are represented. Sample words are transcribed. The document also touches on the modern Baybayin system with characters for each letter of the English and Filipino alphabets.

    Why study Baybayin?

    Whether you are a foreigner or a native, Philippines


    is your home. The very moment you are living here,
    you are a Filipino, and to be truly at home – the best
    way to live with us is to learn our roots, share our
    identity – so in this course, we will all immerse
    together to our pre-colonial past, particularly our
    pre-colonial, pre-Hispanic, ancient Philippine Writing
    System called Baybayin.
    Baybayin: Symbol of Culture and Patriotism

    Baybayin is our cultural heritage. It is one of our rich


    past, a true manifestation that we are NOT
    uncivilized like the colonizers used to say and
    whitewash our history with.

    Even before the colonial period, we are already a


    rich and advanced civilization with our own system
    of learning and education.

    It’s BAYBAYIN
    NOT ALIBATA
    Alibata is a misnomer and should
    not be used to refer to this writing
    system. It’s Baybayin!
    BAYBAYIN
    Baybayin came from the tagalog word Baybay
    which actually has two meanings.

    Baybay in context of language, literally means,


    syllable which is related to the basic rule of
    Baybayin because each character (letter) stands for
    one syllable. In Baybayin, you spell the word by
    syllable that’s why it’s called Baybayin (Write by
    syllable).
    The other translation and reference to Baybay is the
    beach. The tagalog (even in Ilocano) word for
    baybay also mean the beach, this is because if you
    have noticed the figure of the Baybayin characters,
    they look like waves where this ancient script was
    inspired to be made, as geographically, Philippines
    is an archipelagic nation surrounded by waters.

    BAYBAYIN
    For Traditional Baybayin:
    It only has 17 characters (which is easier to
    memorize) compared to 28 letters in the Philippine
    Alphabet or 26 letters in English Alphabet.

    For Modern Baybayin:


    There are already corresponding characters for
    each of the English and Filipino Alphabet letters.
    The best way to learn
    it is to write it!
    For International Students, I hope you are
    familiar with some basic Tagalog words.
    You gotta try kapatid!
    The best way to learn it
    is to write it!
    Go get some paper or notebook and begin
    practicing it. Take it slowly but surely.
    Traditional Baybayin
    T+rdis+yonl+ n by+byin+
    Baybayin has four basic strokes:

    STROKE 1
    The Inverted S

    STROKE 2
    The Number 3

    STROKE 3
    The letter V with curvy base
    and curvy end

    STROKE 4
    The Wave
    We will only learn first
    the Traditional Baybayin
    Seventeen (17) Characters only
    = 3 vowels + 14 consonants
    The Vowels

    A E U
    A E/I O/U
    Stroke 3 with Stroke 1 over Just Stroke 2
    two parallel lines in Stroke 4
    its left tail
    The Consonants
    B Ba M Ma
    D Da / Ra n Na

    F Fa/ Pa N Nga

    G Ga S Sa

    H Ha T Ta

    K Ka W Wa

    L La y Ya

    NOTE: All consonants are pronounced with ‘a’


    In writing, for example: BABAE (woman)

    BbE
    BA BA E
    You transcribe it per syllable (baybayin)
    In writing, for example: LALAKI (man)

    llki
    LA LA KI
    You notice that there is difference in ‘ki’

    So you might ask, if all consonants end with ‘a’, what will
    I do if i want it to end in e, i, o, or u?
    To change the vowel sound in the end of each
    consonant you just need to add this features:

    b be bo
    Ba Be/Bi Bo/Bu
    or if you wish to be more specific of the vowel sound, place (–) above the character for ‘e’
    and below for ‘u’ or just a dot period above for ‘I’ and below for ‘o’. Of if you just want the
    letter and remove the vowel sound, just place ‘x’ or a cross ‘+’ below the character.

    bbBe b o b B+
    Ba Be Bi Bo Bu B
    For punctuations:

    | One slash or standing line


    means comma (,)

    || Two parallel standing lines or


    slashes means period (.)

    Other punctuations still apply.

    The tip here is that, transcribe the word per syllable. If the syllable does not have a
    corresponding character in Baybayin, transcribe it first into its Tagalog equivalent.
    Modern Baybayin
    Moder=noN= by+byin+

    In Modern Baybayin, there is no need to transcribe words into Tagalog.


    Just divide them by syllable or just transcribe them according to their
    spelling with their corresponding Baybayin characters.
