ancient language, discovered in the philippines

[dkatbena]

Tagalog was created from the sounds in nature.It is a realistic language.

[josephricafort]

This writing system was just adopted to the Roman Alphabet. It's too obvious. The Eskaya is a man made writing system/language like Esperanto or Volapuk. The letters were extremely complicated. I noticed that most wirintg languages have uniformity and flows when writing them.

i wish we wrote using these present day it looks so cool

Dude my mom is A filipino.

[nenabunena]

This isn't a language, it's a writing system. & how can it be discovered when it has been known all along? they teach this in school but when i was in school they called it alibata, now its referred to as baybayin. where have you been kababayan? i don't get why so many ignorant filipinos never heard of this if they have been to school

[13Constellations]

@nenabunena hahaha your becoming too impulsive.think before you wright anything,. baybayin or mistakenly called alibata is very different from that script (by the way that script is called the Eskayan script) and it was even confused to phoenician, hebrew and et cetera ,thus, it was far connected to baybayin, which is classified on the Brahmic ones,.,., mas mali po ang sinabi nio.. :) (peace(>-)

[nenabunena]

@13Constellations according to morrorw, there is only 1 script in the phils but diff penmanship. it recorded in many spanish documents. but regardless, how can a script be a language? those are 2 diff things noh?

[13Constellations]

@nenabunena no, there are more than just the baybayin script, we have the hanunoo, the baybayin and the eskayan( they are somehow different specially the eskayan, what looks similar is the baybayin, viasayan and the kapampangan script),, I dont know if I missed one, and besides, I never said that a script can be a language, and I knew it can't be,., I also knew Mr.Paul Morrow anyway.,., peace :D

[nenabunena]

@13Constellations i guess i'll have to look into it a bit more because most of my understanding came from morrow & he said it was merely a difference of penmanship. & that other groups added more to the writing to fit their language since the writing system came from the north via borneo.

[nenabunena]

@13Constellations the video is saying that the writing system is a language. my post refers to that

[13Constellations]

@nenabunena I see.. :)

[JasonCaesare]

Excuse me, but I'm pretty sure that's not Baybayin there. It looks like bits and pieces of a lot of different scripts there, and a few that I don't recognize at all. I can use traditional baybayin, as well as Jesuit (not one I prefer) and neo-baybayin (there are a few of those out there). What is the name of this alphabet? I know it's not Hanunoo or Baybay.

[canadadry0g]

Not surprising. Where ever the Spanish went in the old days. They systematically distroyed the native language, cultures and made the native in their own image. They force their religon onto the native, as did the English, French and the other europeans power during that time of conlonization. That is why Australia, US, Canada & NZ speaks mostly english. Central & S.America speaks spanish & portuguese only in Brazil. If it's in your language, you are most likely using euro alphabet with it.

[zhilvher03]

past is past,, we cant change the history of our country after the spanish era but always recognized and proud of our own dialect,also to our own country.

[joey143anna]

[willzurmacht]

@joey143anna not illiterate but becoming illiterate :D

[13Constellations]

it is the eskayan script of bohol..,, it was said that the characters are from the human anatomy and are related to the ancient writings of the phoenicians..

[dyril27]

The philippines were FIRST called "Tawalis" and discovered First by a Greek sailor named "Hippalus", and Cloudius Ptoolemy named it "Tawalis" in 150A.D. way BEFORE the Chinese Traders called it "Ma-i" during 10th Century A.D. and Ferdinand Magellan in march 16, 1521 rediscovered the country.

[DnLVaIn07]

@dyril27 totoo?

[ChikoIsTheSex]

You guys need some history lesson. Those people who invented that writing was not considered as EARLY FILIPINOS neither FILIPINOS because, due to the fact that FILIPINAS and FILIPINO was named after king philipp. During the spaniards era those natives are called NATIVES and they can only be converted to FILIPINO if they adopt christianity and be a men of king philip. Aparantly out of racism of the people those natives are called INDIOS or INDIO.

nakakatakot naman po ung music..pero nice video po

¡Un saludo amigos! Desde el @ Canal de Filipinas en idioma español.

[capie44]

Thanks for the History lesson, as an American who lived in the P.I. in 1977 and visited a few times since, I like to learn. But insulting the rest of the World as if they are ignorant of parallel Histories--why would not ppl believe the Filipino's couldn't/didn't read/write. And what is the final shot? Burial mounds, hills or refuse mounds? I am ignorant (as most of the world is) to their purpose here--much less their creation. Why are they yellow?

[8raysmedia]

Eskaya script is suspect as being "ancient"

[xXTeRiYakiBOYXx]

if the war wouldnt, phillippines were today like japan or korea

[Wolf9405]

@xXTeRiYakiBOYXx no it could be much more better like China

[manolitomulat]

aba..may puto ka rin mr.jundoria.....taga bilar ka seguro..dami doria don

[jundoria]

the chocolate hills are made of limestones the pyramids in egypt and other recent discovered pyramids are all made of limestones ..my theory the chocolate hills are clusters of pyramids waiting to be discovered

[MARKCHAOS]

@jundoria those are hills and not pyramids!!!

[flipxy]

I've read that th eskaya script is actually a fake or made up script. However we have plenty more syllabic orthographics that are real and were used in the past up to this day. They're called the baybayin. Each language, whether tagalog, ilocano, kapampangan, mangyan or hanuno'o had its own version. But! there's an even more ancient script used, example in the writing of the Laguna Copperplate Inscription. Look it up. It's called Kawi (a language and script we shared with Indonesia and Malaysia)

[manolitomulat]

yes..be proud we are filipinos!!

[plus24seven]

@manolitomulat ..Eskayan is a modern alphabets found in Bohol...kinuha nila sa Latin alphabets yan.... its like a 100 year old script

... Baybayin is the ancient form of writing in the PI.. its dated.. 2000 years old. but continously evolve in the Tagalog down to visayas island....

kaso na sira dahil sa spanish colonial. :(

[josephricafort]

@manolitomulat There's nothing you should be proud about this? It's a writing system, this is not you.

[islabantayan]

astonishing, filipino nationalism Mabuhay.

[bijoutier45]

this isn't anything new, we've known that the Filipinos had several pre-contact writing systems such as Baybayin and Hanuno'o, and the literacy in these writing systems were pretty impressive

[manolitomulat]

yes..it is..and its only in bohol

[faredowur]

okay, that is the eskaya script

[chekiroa1821]

its amazing,.,.,im really proud to be a filipino,.,.,.

[bushidoryuken]

i agreed
