Abakada script
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
Abakada alphabet is an
indigenized Latin alphabet of the
Tagalog language of the
Philippines. The alphabet, which contains 20
letters, was created by
Lope K. Santos in 1940.
[1] The alphabet was officially adopted by the
Institute of National Language (
Filipino:
Surian ng Wikang Pambansâ) to be used as an alphabet for the
Tagalog-Based National Language (
Filipino:
Wikang Pambansâ na Batay sa Tagalog), otherwise known as the
National Language (
Filipino:

[edit] History
During the
Pre-Hispanic Era,
Old Tagalog was written using the
Kawi or the
Baybayin script. Dr.
José Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines, initially suggested to indigenize the alphabet of the Philippine languages by replacing the letters
C and
Q with
K.
[2] Based on Rizal's indigenization proposal, the Abakada became the alphabet for the
Tagalog language.
At present, all
languages of the Philippines may be written using the
Modern Filipino alphabet, which includes all the letters of the Abakada alphabet.
