Baybayin Typepad

Active Script: Baybayin. Press F12 to change.
  • 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.

Note:

The script’s Unicode in this page has been adjusted by JC John within the official range of  f U+1700-1714 (including ‘Ra’), and U+1735-1736 (pause/comma, and full stop/period respectively). It differs a lot from that of banyubay.

If you don’t see the baybayin/characters then that means you need to install the Baybayin Unicode.

This Baybayin Typepad was created by marfealsantiago from the orginal program by Monusoft.
