Thanks to someone who commented and introduced me to the Tabuko writing system. I think this is the best so far (for me), and I'm inviting everyone to support it.

There isn't a standard way of writing Baybayin, so I based what I used here from the website where I downloaded Baybayin fonts for my computer...

His Ra/Da, E/I, O/U are distinguished, which is a great improvement.

  • actually, i liked that usage of baybayin is slowly growing. I've actually been wondering if there is ever going to a modernization of it, since the filipino language now is so hard to translate without using the old version. Would there be a chance that if it grows that trigraph such as dya or sya?

  • @danger2uLovely There's not an official or standard modernization of baybayin. But a few have made their own improvements for it. I didn't get the last part of you comment though.

  • @everythingasian17 Sorry, I meant to say, that in filipino there is two consonant sounds, such dya, sya, and tsa. Has anyone ever tried making a scriptures for those three in Baybayin?

  • @danger2uLovely dya as in J, sya as in SH, and Tsa as in CH right? There is a link in the information box of this video, he has one for NG, J and CH I believe. I downloaded his fonts. A lot of people had tried making their own Js and CH's etc but no one used them unfortunately because no one has every made an official baybayin modern script and it was not popularized so it ended up dying.

  • What's the song's name?

  • Ang galing mong magsulat ng baibayin

  • @PinoyPopER Tama po kayo, malaking tulong 'tong youtube sa pagpapalaganap ng isang bagay lalo na ang baibayin ^^

  • @kreet2x Hindi po alpabeto ang ating Baybayin. Ito ay isang alphasyllabary or abugida. :)

  • @laoshu505000 I am with you. Whenever I write anything for my use in Tagalog, I use the traditional Tagalog script, but with modern additions as taught by one Bayani Mendoza de Leon.

  • na inspired talaga ako sa quote na yan :)...

  • @danger2uLovely There are many systems with their own improvements, like for example, the "new baybayin" project you can search it up on google, does not make use of kudlit, but is basically somewhat like katakana. 

  • @RepublicadeFilipinas shut up... our own writing system should be promoted, quit spamming.... let our own culture grow...

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

  • nice handwriting poh..

    palaganapin ang sinaunang alpabeto..!!!!!!!
