Name's That Starts with "A" Written in Modern Baybayin



Baybayin is a Pre Spanish Filipino Script.

Here are names that starts with the letter A written in the Modern baybayin.

What makes it a modern baybayin.

Modern baybayin uses the vowel cancellation mark to take out the vowel.

Each character inherently comes with the vowel "A" other than the vowel themselves.

Here are the 17 characters written in the western alphabet.

A, BA, KA, DA/RA, E/I, GA, HA, LA, MA, NA NGA, O/U, PA, SA TA, WA, YA

Aylani

Ailani

Baybayin is syllabic so the characters represents a syllable.

It is written as its pronounced.


Aisha

Ayisha

The SHA is written as SI YA

Ayda

Aida


Aurora

Broken down to the syllables

The Au sounds is A W hence A W RO RA



Asura

If you noticed, there's a kudlit at the bottom of the SA character, That kudlit makes the sound O/U hence the SU in A SU RA




Axel

There's no X in the Tagalog/Filipino Alphabet

So it can be written as what character sounds the closest.

The combination of the K and the S will work

A K (adding a vowel cancellation on the K) followed by the SE then L (also with the vowel cancellation mark.)

A K SE L

Ayana

Aiana




Arnold

The character DA/RA is the same, so usually baybayin practitioners add the slash on the character to make it RA to distinguish the two character.
