What is palabaybayan in English?

"Palabaybayan" is a Filipino term, and it's a bit tricky to translate directly into English. It refers to a system of loanwords where words are borrowed from another language and adapted to the Filipino spelling and pronunciation.

Here are some ways to describe "palabaybayan" in English:

* Loanword adaptation

* Borrowed word assimilation

* Filipinization of foreign words

* Adapting foreign words to Filipino orthography

For example, the word "computer" in English is "kompyuter" in Filipino, which is a "palabaybayan" of the English word.

So, depending on the context, you can use any of the above terms to convey the meaning of "palabaybayan" in English.
