Baybayin Translator is the quick and easy to translate words to the Ancient
Filipino script. Available for the very 1st time as a mobile app.
Baybayin (incorrectly known as Alibata) is a syllabic “pre-Filipino” writing
system from the islands known as the “Philippines”. Baybayin comes from the
root word, “baybay”, meaning to spell. The script consists of 14 consonants
and 3 vowels. Each of the consonants ends with the vowel “A”. For example, the
letter B would actually be BA. The original “alphabet” consists of the
following characters:
Vowels
A | E/I | O/U
Consonants
Ba | Ka | Da | Ga | Ha | La | Ma | Na | Nga | Pa | Sa | Ta | Wa | Ya
The vowel sound is changed by diacritical mark called a Kudlit below or above
the character. To cancel the inherit vowel sound, a cancellation Kudlit
(Virama) is placed under the character in the form of an X or +.
I’m Christian Cabuay, founder of Baybayin.com and have been a practitioner of
the ancient Filipino script since the 90’s. Besides promoting the script via
my artwork and technology projects, you can find me facilitating workshops
around the San Francisco area. I’m currently working on a documentary, online
school and a follow-up to my 2009 book, “An Introduction to Baybayin”.
My vision for this application is for it to become a universal tool for
"translating" to Baybayin regardless of your spoken language and also serve as
a portable hub for all things related to the script. It’s also my wish that
once you become familiar with Baybayin, they also dig deeper into other
aspects of our pre-Spanish history and ACT on what was learned.
