Baybayin

Baybayin (Tagalog pronunciation: [bai̯ˈba:jɪn]; pre-virama: ᜊᜊᜌᜒ, post-virama: ᜊᜌ᜔ᜊᜌᜒᜈ᜔, kudlit + pamudpod: ᜊᜌ᜔ᜊᜌᜒᜈ᜴) is an ancient script used primarily by the Tagalog people. Baybayin is an indigenous Indic script that has been widely used in traditional Tagalog domains. There were many variants of Babayin and the script continued to be used during the early part of the Spanish colonization of the Philippines until largely being supplanted by usage of the Latin alphabet. Baybayin is well known because it was carefully documented by scribes during the colonial era.

The term baybayín literally means "to spell, write, and syllabize" in Tagalog.

In Parcae, it became a sacred/ceremonial script for the Grand Empire.
