Initially these characters were drawn in Adobe Illustrator back in 2019. I used them for my first batch of illustrations for my Filipino Food Art and Philippine Wildlife Artprojects. With each new artwork came a new word that had to be written in Baybayin, and because it took time to write them out one after the other, I made all the characters at ...
Baybayin is not an alphabet, but an abugida. The English alphabet uses consonants and vowels like “A”, “B”, “C” and “E”, whereas Baybayin uses syllables and single vowels like “A” “Ba”, “Ka”, and “Nga”. An abugida is a writing system where consonants and vowels can be together as a unit, whereas an alphabethas vowels and consonants alone and separa...
Baybayin characters can be marked to change the vowel character. A mark is added on top of the character if the vowel is an I or E, or at the bottom if it is O or U. No kudlit means A.

The use of the Spanish kudlit was a way to alter Baybayin so that lone consonants in an actual pronunciation were not dropped from the writing itself.

Francisco Lopez in 1620, when he deemed the “Tagalog ...
Baybayin was obviously used to write Filipino words in Filipino languages, such as in Tagalog, Bisaya, Kapampangan, or Ilokano. If you want to write a non-Filipino word in Baybayin, translate it first into a Filipino language, and then write the Baybayin of the translated word. Names and proper nouns can still be written in Baybayin, but they must ...

Install the Niwang Uno font in your computer. 2. Open Microsoft Word. 3. Choose the Niwang Uno font. 4. Type any consonant, immediately followed by a vowel (a, o, u, e, or i) (be sure c...
One issue with the font involves line spacing in word processing software like Microsoft Word or Pages for iOS. Unfortunately I had left a large space above each letter when creating them, so when writing them left to right in a paragraph, there will be large gaps between each line. In iOS I use the Pages appas my word processor. When I start writi...
