New to Baybayin? Here's your quick start.
Baybayin is a precolonial Filipino script used from the 14th to 19th century. It’s an abugida: a type of syllabary where each character represents a consonant + vowel sound.
To write words, break them into syllables by sound.
Example: “Cristina” → Kris. Tin. Na → ᜃ᜔ᜇᜒᜐ᜔ᜆᜒᜈ
Baybayin has 3 vowel characters (A, E/I, O/U) and 14 consonants.
Each consonant defaults to “A” unless marked.Use kudlit marks to change vowels:
• Above = “E” or “I”
• Below = “O” or “U”Use the virama to cancel the vowel — a modern addition for closed syllables like “Kris.”
Baybayin reflects spoken Filipino, not English spelling.
It’s a living script — found in art, passports, and even currency.

How to write (my formal name) “Cristina” in #Baybayin
Baybayin is a precolonial Filipino script.
It’s a syllabary, so each symbol stands for a syllable, not a letter.To write “Cristina,” we break it down by sound: Kris. Tin. Na
📝 In Baybayin:
ᜃ᜔ᜇᜒᜐ᜔ ᜆᜒᜈ᜔
- Kris → ᜃ᜔ (K) + ᜇᜒ (Ri) + ᜐ᜔ (S)
- Tin → ᜆᜒ (Ti) + ᜈ᜔ (N)
- Na → ᜈ (Na)
💡 The virama mark cancels the vowel sound (a modern tweak for closed syllables).I’m writing this as a calligraphy exercise for my journals at home, and sharing here as a guide for others exploring Baybayin.

1. baking my #sourdough focaccia RN (made a starter from scratch, autolyze prepped Wednesday morning, overnight proofed)
2. cowork with nutritionist friend today, collaborating on something for the Filipino community for the Lapu Lapu incident. #ICYMI June is #FilipinoHeritage month.
3. heartwarming messages from tech folks about wanting to meet IRL when they're in Vancouver.
Met so many people online who are passing thru or visiting VanCity thanks to conferences or personal travel and I'm pleased to be invited to meetup.
Key Learning & Takeaway: What a vibe to meet folks face to face, shake hands, get/give hugs. It's like meeting an old friend because of having talked online for a while before actually meeting :) @3goodthings -
