but the one u show is extinct already.. isnt the other still being used, so its support to use it, for instance, why does everything have to be tagalog origin to be standard for the nation? i thought they gov was combinging things from various ethnic to make national filipino language, so why not same with the culture as well?

baybayin looks cooler!

no it dont, its MUCH more difficult to write the letters like the B, P, N, S..
The baybayin looks easier to write with compared to that Mindoro script. To write consonants without vowels, we should invent a symbol for it. The cross thing made by Spaniards won't do it because it looks so foreign. Maybe we should add a kudlit for -a and the letter with no kudlit would become single consonant letters

i like the magyan one better. you have no idea how ugly i tihnk babayin looks.

babyin letters look so hard to write quickly, too. maybe if it was modernized... then we could have 2 scripts, one for traditional things and another one for writing.
and this magyan script looks like it could be easily be modified to be more efficient for representing tagalog. i mean babayin looks ugly, and then it gets uglier when you add in the addition signs.

Umm Mindoro isn't part of Visayas. It's actually part of Luzon and most people there speaks Tagalog

Are Mangyan languages mixed with bisaya words?

I don't think so. I think the only Mangyan language that can be considered Visayan is Ratagnon. This is what it says according to Wikipedia
QUOTE
The Ratagnon are found in the southernmost part of the municipality of Magsaysay in Occidental Mindoro. The language spoken by the Ratagnon is similar to the Cuyunon language, a Visayan language spoken by the inhabitants of Cuyo Island in Northern Palawan.
I think the Mangyan languages are neither a Visayan language nor a Luzon language

doh. im bringing
asian back!
instead of latinizing our writing.
Yeah I think our old Indian writing must come back so we will have our own exotic writing once again. But I would prefer reviving the baybayin back instead of adopting one of the scripts from Mindoro because it was used to write the dominant Filipino languages such as Tagalog, Cebuano, Kapampangan, etc. before and during Spanish colonial period. It would make Filipinos more proud of their heritage

It would be hard to have that kind of change. But both of them are beautiful!I would be very proud of them if I were a Filipino!

i like the script dalawapo posted .. the babayan still looks to be in it's early stages ... there's gotta be a simplified way of writing it ...

Maybe it's because they ARE ancient, goomby. They didn't have the chance to develop, since they were repressed by the colonialism.
