Baybayin
Baybayin
(; pre-kudlit: , post-kudlit: ) (known in
Unicode
as Tagalog alphabet; see below), known in
Visayan
as
badlit
, is an
ancient Philippine script
derived from
Brahmic scripts
of India and first recorded in the 16th century. It continued to be used during the
Spanish colonization of the Philippines
up until the late 19th century. The alphabet is well known because it was carefully documented by
Catholic clergy living in the Philippines
during the colonial era.
