The emergence of Baybayin script from Classical Kawi script (1200 onwards)


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One example of pre-Spanish Philippine script on a burial jar, derived from Brahmi survives, as most of the writing was done on perishable bamboo or leaves; an earthenware burial jar dated 1200s or 1300s with script was found in Batangas. This script is called in Tagalog Baybayin or Alibata.
