Kasaysayan ng Alpabeto

SANSKRIT/O

- ang paraan ng pagsulat na ito ay isang uri ng paraang abiguda na gumagamit ng katinig-patinig na
kombinasyon. Kung kaya’t mapapansin na ang pinakapayak na anyo nito ay mayroon lamang tunog
sa hulihan na /a/. Nilalagyan lamang ng kudlit sa itaas upang makalikha ng tunog na nagtatapos sa
/e/ at /i/ at sa ibaba naman inilalagay upang makalikha ng tunog na /o/ at /u/.

Wikang klasiko (classic) ng India; ginagamit sa mga relihiyon at pananaliksik sa agham

Sinasabing pinagmulan ng alibata

ALIFBATA 0 ALIBATA (BAYBAYIN)

- isang paraan ng pagsulat na ginagamit bago pa dumating ang mga Kastila. Ito ay kahalintulad sa
sistema o paraan ng pagsulat ng mga taong Java na tinatawag na kayi. Ang paraan ng pagsulat na
ito ay pinaniniwalaang ginagamit na noong 14 na siglo hanggang sa panahon ng pananakop ng mga
Kastila. Ang salitang baybayin ay nangangahulugang ispeling o pagbaybay.

Katutubong sistema ng pagsulat/alpabeto ng iba’t ibang pangkat etnolinggwistiko sa Pilipinas mula

1000-1200 hanggang 1800.
BAYBAYIN hango sa salitang “baybay” (to spell)

ALIBATA hango sa “alif bata” (2 unang titik sa Arabic: “alif” at “bet”)

May kaunting pagkakaiba ang bawat alibata para sa bawat partikular na wika (iba ang sa Tagalog,
iba ang sa Bisaya atbp.)

Di matiyak ng mga eksperto

Sa Celebes (matandang paraan ng pagsulat ng mga Javanese)

Sa India (mula sa mga paraan ng pagsulat ng iba’t ibang lugar sa India: Sanskrit; Brahmi; Assam
etc.)

ABECEDARIO

- ito ay binubuo ng 29 na letra at hango sa Romanong paraan ng pagbigkas at pagsulat.

Alpabetong Kastila; mula sa Alpabetong Romano

Isinusulat ang mga titik gaya ng sa alpabetong Romano

Itinuro sa piling mga mag-aaral (sa mga klaseng tinatawag na caton, kadalasan sa mga kumbento
atbp.)

Ayaw turuan ng mga Kastila sa Pilipinas ang mga indio dahil alam nilang matatalino ang mga ito at
kapag tinuruan ng wikang Espanyol ay maiintindihan ang ginagawang panloloko sa kanila

Pilipinas lang ang dating kolonya ng Espanya na di natutong magsalita ng Espanyol (maliban sa mga
intelektwal na nasa alta sociedad at gitnang uri/middle class)

ABAKADA

- mula kay Lope K. Santos (1940)
