	Baybayin, The Ancient Script of the Philippines
		However, as mentioned earlier in the Spanish accounts, the advent of the baybayin in the Philippines was considered a fairly recent event in the 16th century and the Filipinos at that time believed that their baybayin came from Borneo.
		Words written in the baybayin script were not spaced apart; the letters were written in a continuous flow and the only form of punctuation was a single vertical line, or more often, a pair of vertical lines.
		Some observers were mistaken to believe that the baybayin should be read vertically from bottom to top in columns progressing from left to right because that was how the ancient Filipinos carved their letters into narrow bamboo strips.

	Baybayin, How to Write the Ancient Script of the Philippines
		A mistake people often make is to assume that the baybayin is just a neat looking alphabet; all you have to do is learn how draw the letters and then spell out the words in the language of your choice, and substitute each modern letter with a baybayin letter.
		However, the baybayin is a cross between a syllabary and an alphabet, or what is known as an abugida.
		There are only three vowels in the baybayin because ancient Filipinos of many linguistic groups did not distinguish between the pronunciations of I and E, and U and O before Spanish words entered their languages.

		The most important thing to remember when writing baybayin script is to spell the words as they sound and not as they are spelled in modern Filipino or other languages.
		All of the consonants are typed by using the corresponding upper or lower case keys except for nga (N) which is typed by shifting to the upper case N. Using the shift key also produces some non-Filipino letters.
		Baybayin characters can substitute some letters that were not used by ancient Filipinos or they can be approximated by a combination of characters.

		Baybayin script is an ancient form of writing by native islanders and tribes in the South East Asian archipelago we now know as the Philippines.
		They are not new characters (unlike the failed method of the erroneously named Alibata script by revisionists from the early 1900s), instead they are just keystroke shortcuts for typing the sequence of original script characters that represent the syllabic/phonetic equivalents of Q, J, and X in Filipino languages (Kwa, Dya, and Eks respectively).

		Baybayin symbols exist for syllables in V and CV forms, however when writing syllables in VC or CVC forms, the ancient Filipinos would drop the trailing consonant.
		The Spaniards had a hard time trying to read in the original Baybayin script because the Filipinos dropped any trailing consonants from syllables in the VC or CVC form (See answer to question #1).
		To simplify things, they introduced the "+" mark that was added at the bottom of the Baybayin symbols to mute the "a" sound.
