Translate text into Alibata / Baybayin

Filed Under (Uncategorized) by gimikera on 17-07-2005

Before the Philippines was conquered by the Spaniards, the Japanese and the Americans, our ancestors already used a unique form of writing — the Alibata (ancient Filipino script). According to Hector Santos, Filipinos were already writing on writing on bamboo and specially prepared palm leaves using knives and styli.

Though it is more commonly known as Alibata, Baybayin is its proper
name, according to the site Eagle’s Corner. This site was intended to
help translate words into Baybayin but take note that
foreign words, or words with English or Spanish roots may
not be
translated correctly into this ancient script.

One final warning — only the following letters will be processed:
