How to write (my formal name) “Cristina” in #Baybayin Baybayin is a precolonial Filipino script. It’s a syllabary, so each symbol stands for a syllable, not a letter. To write “Cristina,” we break it down by sound: Kris. Tin. Na 📝 In Baybayin: ᜃ᜔ᜇᜒᜐ᜔ ᜆᜒᜈ᜔ - Kris → ᜃ᜔ (K) + ᜇᜒ (Ri) + ᜐ᜔ (S) - Tin → ᜆᜒ (Ti) + ᜈ᜔ (N) - Na → ᜈ (Na) 💡 The virama mark cancels the vowel sound (a modern tweak for closed syllables). I’m writing this as a calligraphy exercise for my journals at home, and sharing here as a guide for others exploring Baybayin. #FilipinoHeritage #sarimanok #PhilippinePhoenix
