Baybayin

Ang Baybayin

Baybayin is an ancient script used by early Filipinos before the arrival of Spanish colonizers in the Philippines. It is an alphasyllabary or abugida, where each character represents a syllable (a consonant combined with a vowel). Kudlit (diacritical marks placed above or below a character) modify the vowel sound.

Bakit Baybayin

As calligraphy gained popularity in 2015, the founder, Yen Galanto, thought, why not use our own script instead of the English alphabet for lettering, calligraphy, and art?
