Baybayin is a free educational app for learning, writing, and transliterating the ancient pre-colonial Filipino script — brought to life for a new generation of Filipinos and friends of the Philippines. Before Spanish colonization, Filipinos wrote in Baybayin — a beautiful abugida script used across the archipelago to write Tagalog and other Philippine languages. This app puts that living heritage in your hands. PRACTICE BAYBAYIN: Trace every character freehand on a guided canvas. Practice all 17 letters — 3 vowels and 14 consonants — across their vowel variants. Switch between Character mode to master individual glyphs and Word mode to practice full words. Save your drawings to your Camera Roll and share your progress. TRANSLATE FILIPINO TO BAYBAYIN: Type any Filipino or Latin text and see it instantly converted to Baybayin script. A growing history of your transliterations is saved automatically so you can revisit your favorites anytime. HEAR AUTHENTIC PRONUNCIATION: Every character and practice word is voiced by a native Filipino speaker — not a computer voice. Hear the correct Tagalog pronunciation of all 51 syllable combinations and 11 practice words including salamat, bahay, puso, and pagibig. GLOSSARY REFERENCE: A full reference guide of all 17 Baybayin letters with their vowel variant glyphs, romanized labels, and voice playback. Tap any character to expand its full detail. Perfect for learners and curious minds alike. WORKS COMPLETELY OFFLINE: No internet connection required. No account needed. No ads. No tracking. Your data stays on your device. WHY BAYBAYIN MATTERS Baybayin is not a dead language — it is a living part of Filipino identity. It appears on the Philippine peso, in street art across Manila, in tattoos worn with pride by Filipinos around the world. Learning Baybayin is an act of cultural reclamation — a way to reconnect with a history that colonization tried to erase. This app was made with deep respect for that heritage, by a Filipino developer, for every Filipino — at home or in the diaspora. WHAT YOU CAN LEARN The 3 Baybayin vowels: A, I, U/O All 14 consonants and their syllable forms The kudlit diacritic system for vowel modification The virama (pangalawang kudlit) for final consonants Common Filipino words written in Baybayin
