well its like that in indonesia and singapore and malay too so i assumed, but then i remembered the thai still use their script. i really should get it into my brain that south east was actually colonised once upon a time, i keep forgetting

marinetangerine replied to your post “Intro To Baybayin”

woah baybayin looks just like tamil! and thai and all those south languages but cool! do you guys ever study it in school? here in india my parents studied sanskrit for a bit but not wholly.

Yeah. I think most of Southeast Asia, yes. 

We don't study it in school and its not widely used. But you can find it on logos of government offices, tattoos, etc. I wished we could have studied it in school, though.

Trivia: Baybayin is also the Filipino word for "spelling" and "coastline". They say that the letters on this alphabet imitates the waves of the ocean, hence the term, baybayin.

Intro To Baybayin

Hey I wonder though, you know how ASEAN countries write using well, this english alphabet? Surely it wasn’t always like that, what happened, why did they stop using their native script (assuming they had one)

Hmmm. I can’t speak for other ASEAN countries. 

In pre-colonial or pre-hispanic times in the Philippines, an indigenous alphabet already exists, known as baybayin. However, when Spain conquered our archipelago, they almost erased the existence of this alphabet. Now, we are use the Filipino alphabet which is basically the English alphabet too with additional letters such as Ñ and NG (yup, in Filipino, this is just one letter, not two.
