	Baybayin, The Ancient Script of the Philippines
		It was the Spanish Empire and the lost alphabet was a script that is known today as the baybayin.
		It is to be noted that our Bisayans have some letters with different shapes, which I place here; but even they themselves do not agree on the shapes of their letters; for this reason, and because of the limited types available, I have shown the characters according to the Tagalogs.
		They found the alphabet easy to learn and it was a skill that helped them to get ahead in life under the Spanish regime, working in relatively prestigious jobs as clerks, scribes and secretaries.

	Genealogy of scripts derived from Proto-Sinaitic at AllExperts
		These include the Latin alphabet — forms of which are used today to write numerous languages — but also such disparate cousins as the writing systems of Hebrew, Arabic, both Germanic and Hungarian runes, Ethiopic, Devanagari writing of India, the native scripts of the Philippines and Indonesia, and perhaps Cree 'syllabics' and Korean hangul.
		A possibly independent alphabet, the Meroitic alphabet, was also adapted from Egyptian hieroglyphs, and therefore may be a cousin to the Proto-Sinaitic family.
		Despite many of these scripts commonly being called "alphabets", the recent linguistic classifications of abugidas and semi-syllabaries are shown in Italic; the others are abjads or alphabets proper.

		Many languages using Brahmic scripts are sometimes written in Latin script, primarily for the benefit of non-native speakers, but this practice has made little headway in India itself.
		Urdu, a language native to India, uses the Arabic alphabet, which is not an Indic script.
		However, it should be noted that there is a practice in India (as opposed to Pakistan) in which Urdu is also written in Devanagari script.

		The BRAHMI alphabet is the ancestor of most of the 40 or so modern Indian alphabets, and of a number of other alphabets, such as Khmer and Tibetan.

		The alphabet was probably derived from, or at least influenced by, the Khmer alphabet.

		This is in contrast to the Latin alphabet of the modern Filipino language which is phonetic.
		Since most of the characters in the Latin script are already defined in the ISO standards, the simplest approach is to simply add two new codes, one for Ng and another for N. This will allow all the characters in the Latin script to defined as one keystroke.
		Since the character sets of the Tagalog, Hanunoos, Buhids, Tagbanwas, and the Latin scripts are quite small in number, this method is a practical choice.

		A feasible pair is a specific correspondence between a lexical alphabetic character and a surface alphabetic character.
		Similarly, a subset name is said to stand for a set of alphabetic characters; but its effective meaning relative to a given set of rules is determined by the set of feasible pairs sanctioned by the rules.

	Unicode and multilingual support in HTML, fonts, Web browsers and other applications
		Problems like these arise with non-Latin alphabets and Symbol fonts because until recently most computers used fonts that contain a maximum of 256 characters.
		Older English versions of Microsoft Windows, and several other language editions, used this set of 256 characters, which is known as the ANSI character set.
		The solution is to leave behind the assortment of 8-bit fonts with their limit of 256 characters, where the same character number can represent a different character in different alphabets, and move to a system that assigns a unique number to each character in each of the major languages of the world.
