no dino fact today, but i do have another fun fact with me yes
Baybayin is a pre-colonial filipino script in the Philippines and since there's "ᜃ ᜄ ᜅ ᜆ ᜇ ᜈ ᜉ ᜊ ᜋ ᜌ ᜎ ᜏ ᜀ ᜁ ᜂ ᜐ ᜑ" which are the consonants and vowels, the vowels are "ᜀ ᜁ ᜂ" ik its only three but hear me out, ᜀ is A, ᜁ are E and I and finally, ᜂ are O and U, now for the consonants which are "ᜊ ᜃ ᜇ ᜑ ᜎ ᜋ ᜈ ᜅ ᜉ ᜐ ᜆ ᜏ ᜌ" which all means "Ba Ka Da/Ra Ga Ha La Ma Na Nga Pa Sa Ta Wa Ya", all the last letters are "A" right? well, you can actually change it into the other vowels by putting dots on top and on the bottom, for example, ᜊ means ba, in order to change it to Be or Bi, you put a dot on top like "ᜊᜒ" and then to make it Bo or Bu, you put a dot below it like "ᜊᜓ", i also forgot to explain about the dots, those are what we call "kudlit" which means "vowel changing", and the dot on top means changing the vowel A into E and I, while the bottom dot means changing the vowel A into O and U, therefore, top dot means E and I while bottom dot means O and U, not only that, but you can also remove the first letter by cancelling it out by putting an x in front, or ig anywhere, this is what we call "virama" which means "vowel killing", but anyways, for example, to change ᜊ which means Ba, into just the letter B, you cancel out the letter "A" by putting an x like this "ᜊ᜔", ik you cant see it because its so tiny but hey, lets just get some magnifying glass, also, just so yk, you cant try to write any english word into baybayin that easily since you have to use filipino words to write it in baybayin since Filipino is pretty much simple AND baybayin is already from the Philippines, but anyway, because one of the rules of baybayin is "Kung ano ang bigkas, siyang baybay" which means "Spell it how you pronounce it" (but using Filipino phonetics), that also means that whenever theres a letter that isn't in the consonant of Baybayin like for example "Z", you actually use what sounds closer to Z, which is S, and the consonant with the letter S in Baybayin is "ᜐ"
