tfw colonization hit us so hard we lost our native script.

And nothing of value was lost

DELET DIS ALSO

it is an imported script to transcribe tagalog
and it is only 600 years or so, not old either

but seriously, I really do wish we still used this. maybe some patriotic leader could implement it in our country once more.

a bit hard to read though due to a special rule.

Never forget you are the result of Spanish colonisation. Introduce Spanish, ditch Englishx

>>73990119
you can always develop a new one

>>73990172
There would be no reason to do that. and if we do decide to have our own script why not just use baybayin?

>>73990289
i suppose you can but you have to have enough people to use it for it to become a necessity

Is there any intricacy of your language that is more accurately described in babayin instead roman/latin letters? Is there any practical reason to use it instead?

>>73990780
No. it's actually a bitch to read in traditional Baybayin.

There's a rule that consonants shouldn't be beside each other and must be dropped .

for example: the Filipino word for mountain is bundok.

if you wanna write it in baybayin it has to spell out "Budo" or ᜊᜓᜇᜓ but you have to read it as bundok just by guessing the original words.

if you know baybayin from the start it's not actually too difficult

It sounds better when you read tagalog with some dropped consonants,though.

>Named after another countries monarch and literally don't have a native name
>all have spanish names despite being brown asian people
>All pretend to be massive catholics
>write in latin script despite having a native script

can't think of anything more JUST

>>73991127
Are there any dialects or accents in Tagalog that drop consonants like that?

Budo sounds more Chinese than bundok for sure. Is Tagalog influenced by Chinese at all?

>>73991180
Stop it please.

>all have spanish names despite being brown asian people

yeah, I still wish more people named their kids with Native Filipino names. some can be quite badass.

>>73990135
The country was only actively developed under US rule though. Under Spain, it was literally almost Africa-tier.

>The Filipino language incorporated Spanish loanwords as a result of 400 years of contact with the Spanish language. In their review of a Pilipino-English dictionary, Llamzon and Thorpe (1972) point out that 33% of word roots are of Spanish origin.[1] An example is the sentence below in which Spanish–derived words are in italics (original in parentheses):

Don't know why but I thought you had only been Spanish for like 200 years.

>>73991788
>200
it was actually around 400.

Honestly, this.

The native script of the Celts on the British Isles was Ogham. It is literally just scratches on stone. I don't get why the rest of you mongrols try and act as if there's some great benefit to your equally hackneyed system, just because it's yours, rather than being grateful for the uplift.

Filipino nationalism is the stupidest thing in the world. Like what do you dummies have to be proud about? Banana catsup?
