Baybayin Typepad
Active Script: Baybayin. Press F12 to change.
HOW TO TYPE THE BAYBAYIN SCRIPT
- Just type your words (Tagalog or any other Philippine language) as you normally do.
- Mapping changes:
- No letter ‘C/c’ and ‘X/x’
- ‘F/f’ maps to ‘P/p’
- ‘J/j’ maps to ‘H/h’ – which is the common reading/pronunciation in Filipino (Jose = Hose; John = Huwan; Jesus = Hesus)
- Uppercase ‘N’ maps to Baybayin ‘Nga’ (or just press on your keyboard the letters ‘n’ and ‘g’ – it will change to ‘Nga’)
- Lowercase ‘n’ maps to Baybayin ‘Na’
- ‘Q/q’ maps to ‘K/k’
- ‘V/v’ maps to ‘B/b’
- ‘Z/z’ maps to ‘S/s’
- The genitive/possessive marker ng is an abbreviation of nang [na?] and should be written as ‘nang’.
- The plural marker mga is an abbreviation of manga [m?'?a] and should be written as ‘manga’. It will change automatically if simply typed as ‘mga’.
- To type the Baybayin pause/comma, type ‘|’ (bar), that is “Shift+\” on your keyboard.
