OMG... is this our ancient writing system? I LIKE!!!!


thank you SO much for this!!!

let's see who can translate my first post

i suck @ss at tagalog so i got no way of translating this.

i mean translate it to normal alphabets

oist, gusto ko na tuloy matutong mag-baybayin. madali lang ba siya?

Sobrang madali lang.

O ano, may naka-basa na ba nung 1st post ko?

I use to know how to write and read those, but I kinda forgot, it's in my notebook though from last year - still nifty stuff to use though lol.

this is wat i got from translating the baybayin u posted, i dunno if i did it right, i didnt understand the meaning tho. enweis here it is:

haya mga kapala taya natanga sabakana gamatana anga salata na bayabayana.

well heres my translation in modern tagalog, hopefully its right.:

halina mga kapatid, tayo nating subukan gamitin ang salita na baybayin.

anyone try it??

a "comma" on top of a letter replaces the "a" sound after the consonant w/ an "i/e" sound

a "comma" below a letter replaces the "a" sound after the consonant w/ an "u/o" sound

& a "+" below a letter cancels the vowel sound after the consonant

OK here's the real translation

hoy mga(manga) kupal tayo nating subukan gamitin ang sulat n baybayin.

aaahhh ganun pala!!!, kung sana alam ko lang ang ibig sabihin ng mga commas at + na yun, edi perfecto na sagot ko!!! sayang lapit ko na pala.

ung "hoy mga kupal", ginawa mong "halina mga kapatid"

malay ko ba , iba kasi lumabas sa pagka translate ko eh. di ko rin alam ibig sabihin ng lumabas. kaya siguro akala ko "halina mga kapatid." kaya hinulaan ko na lng.

^ I know ur just trying to be polite

can this way of writing be revived into the phil education system?... so to give the young minds a nice shot of fil heritage.

wow thats so cool! yeah they shud implement it in the phil education system so everyone cud learn it.... its nice to have something "ours"

it can be(but it may need a few modifications)....i already did a paragraph using that way of writing

wow i might check this out later.. didn't kno we had a writing system.. but that $hit won't make sense cuz i don't kno that many words then phrases.. wonder if i write in those letters but english words haha ^_^

like da and ra. there has to be distinction bet the two. and addition of few punctuation marks of course.


yez yah right

Hey, that's really quite cool

Do any Filipinos still use their original writing system (i'm guessing the older generation might...)? Is it similar to the Malaysian/Indonesian one? And how did it get wiped out?

it's kinda related to the indo/m'sian one

the evolution of the letter "T"

the reason it's the same, cuz a lot of filipino words can be change from d to r like:
dito=rito
dadating=darating
doon=roon
madami=marami

etc..
