How TF is this the first time I've ever seen a Tagalog post on the internet? And also why is there no good translator?
-
That's Baybayin. It's an old Tagalog script that isn't really used anymore outside of aesthetic purposes. It's not commonly taught and used in schools for example. Even I couldn't read this without a guide. There are some efforts to try to revive it though.
Tagalog is usually written with the English alphabet. Like this: Magandang gabi po. Google Translate works.

Ah, that explains it, thanks! It's a cool looking script!
-
-
- 'cause you're not seeking Tagalog content?
- because it's a small language, used by an extreme minority? More people use a language, more demand for translation. S&D⚖📉🪦
-
Hrm, I guess.. But it's the 23rd most spoken language globally.. Nearly 90 million speakers, and I don't think I've even seen the alphabet until now. I feel like I've seen lots of posts from less populous languages..
-
I will say all the filipino memes I see are all using tagalog with the latin alphabet. Never seen this alphabet before.
-
Same supply and demand issue: how many Baybayin keyboards do you see in the making&circulation, virtual or physical? Thus the US&Spanish alphabet was forced.
