Short Guide on How to Write Baybayin (Alibata)


I made a short guide on how to write Baybayin. But this is only for beginners… (I think)
I wish they would understand because I put examples on what’s right and what’s wrong… so yeah
I mentioned this on my last blogpost because someone searched for this guide in my wordpress, so I got the idea on making one! What a genius person yeah? Lol ahaha ;)
Anyways, hope that this helps!!

    • Jayson = Dye-y-so-n = ᜇ᜔ᜌᜒᜌ᜔ᜐᜓᜈ᜔
      = Dya-y-so-n = ᜇ᜔ᜌᜌ᜔ᜐᜓᜈ᜔ (Depending on how you pronounce your name)
      I used “Dye” and “Dya” as there is no specific letter for “J” in baybayin and these are roughly its equivalent.

      Jarrell Ethan = Dya-re-l E-ta-n = ᜇ᜔ᜌᜍᜒᜎ᜔ ᜁᜆᜈ᜔
      = Dya-re-l I-ta-n = ᜇ᜔ᜌᜍᜒᜎ᜔ ᜁᜆᜈ᜔ (Still the same in baybayin)
      I used “Ta” instead of “Tha” for “Ethan” because there is no specific equivalent for this letter in baybayin.

      If you’re going to use this for a tattoo, please ask kuya Christian Cabuay or someone that really does translations as I’m not really an expert in this :)
      Thank you! I did my best ^_^

      • this is the version of kuya christian cabuay, jayson = diyeson ᜍᜒᜌᜒᜐᜓᜈ᜔, jarrel = diyarel ᜍᜒᜌᜍᜒᜎ᜔, ethan = etan ᜁᜆᜈ᜔
        which is which?

        • It’s up to you which one you want to use whether my version or kuya Christians. It’s better if you learn Baybayin and write your own translation of your name so that you are happy with it.
          It’s really your decision :) I think there is no “right” or “wrong” translation as it only depends on how you pronounce your name and how you want to write it in Baybayin :)
