  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • parang Enochian alphabet ang design,,, Ang Enochian po ay isang Alphabet ng Angels

  • @nenabunena I see.. :)

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

  • @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 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

  • Dude my mom is A filipino.
