Maharlikang

Maharlikang Tagalog

These scripts are modified versions of the Baybayin alphabet
designed by Frederick Victor Paredes Añana to write modern Tagalog.

Maharlikang Tagalog

This script is called Maharlikang, a word which comes from the Tagalog
maharlika (royal, elite, noble), because of its stylized, almost
Medieval appearance. The appearance of each character was inspired by the
Old English Alphabet.

Frederick modified the diacritics to make it less confusing to read
while staying almost true to the traditional shape of the basic characters.
Frederick also created additional consonants to make Maharlikang Tagalog
more complete.

Most of the basic characters were patterned on the Baybayin Lopez Font
while the character for “ra” was taken from the Bikol Mintz Font. For details,
see http://www.mts.net/~pmorrow/fonts.htm

Maharlikang Tagalog has three versions: The Archaic Version 1,
Archaic Version 2 and
The Simplified Version.
