Bagoyin

Bagoyin   
<em>Bagoyin</em>” /><br />
</h1>
<p>Created by Joseph Barretto, <em>bagoyin</em> is a writing system based on the<br />
 Tagalog script. <em>Bagoyin</em> comes from <em>bagong baybayin</em>, or “new script”.
</p>
<p><em>Bagoyin</em> came about after a mental game of “what if”.  What if the<br />
 Spaniards had allowed the Filipinos to retain use of their script?<br />
 What if the script had evolved in form and new letters were added to<br />
 encompass foreign sounds? <em>Bagoyin</em> is one imagined outcome.
</p>
<h2>Notable features</h2>
<ul>
<li>Like <em>baybayin</em>, <em>bagoyin</em> is a syllabic alphabet in which each<br />
  consonant has an inherent vowel /a/. Other vowels are indicated either by separate<br />
  letters, or by diacritics – above the consonant to change the vowel to /e/<br />
  or /i/, below it to change the vowel to /o/ or /u/. Unlike <em>baybayin</em>,<br />
  <em>bagoyin</em> distinguishes between vowel pairs.
 </li>
<li>Like <em>baybayin</em>, the inherent vowel is muted by adding a sign under the<br />
  consonant. <em>Bagoyin</em> uses a horizontal line instead of the <em>baybayin</em> + sign.
 </li>
<li>Direction of writing (left to right in horizontal lines) has been retained.
 </li>
</ul>
