Philippines Baybayin Script

[dhaine_adp]

Hi Friends,

First of all this not script for server side or client side. Well two days ago, I am thinking of creating a unicode glyp (font) for Baybayin script. Baybayin is a dead script or system of writing used by ancient Philippines before the arrival of Spanish Collonialist led by Ferdinand Magellan in the mid of 1400 century.

Since it is a dead script only few historians knew about it. But then it is still taught in school but no one is using it because everybody familiar with roman script to represent the spoken language.

Anyway I googled to see if someone has created it. But sad to say someone already did it.
The web site to where I found it is at: http://www.mts.net/~pmorrow/bayeng1.htm#origin
But to my suprise, he's a Canadian, not a Filipino.

Well what more should I say, but thanks and as the French says, Ces la vie.

Regards,

Danny
