Here are some key features of Baybayin:
* Syllabic: It is a syllabic script, meaning each symbol represents a syllable, not just a single letter.
* Three main characters: It has three main characters representing the vowels (a, i, u) and several consonants.
* Consonant-vowel combinations: Consonants are combined with vowels to form syllables.
* Direction: It is written from left to right and top to bottom.
While Baybayin was not the only alphabet used in the Philippines, it is considered the most well-known and widely studied. It is experiencing a revival today as a symbol of cultural heritage and national identity.
