Lisa Galindez: What language was the original Phillipine dialect, without all the other language mixed in. They are LEVI. our Priests and Priestesses.
The God Culture: Baybayin which has similarities to Ancient Hebrew. Yah Bless.
Lisa wants to know what the original Philippine dialect was before it was mixed with any other languages. Tim responds by saying it is Baybayin.
That is an incredibly wrong answer. Baybayin is not a dialect. It is a script used to write the words of a dialect. Baybayin was used primarily by speakers of Tagalog but is found elsewhere within the Philippines.
Baybayin is a Philippine script. The script is an alphasyllabary belonging to the family of the Brahmic scripts. It was widely used in Luzon and other parts of the Philippines prior to and during the 16th and 17th centuries before being replaced by the Latin alphabet during the period of Spanish colonization. It was used in Tagalog and to a lesser extent Kapampangan speaking areas; its use spread to Ilokanos in the early 17th century. In the 19th and 20th centuries, baybayin survived and evolved into multiple forms—the Tagbanwa script of Palawan, and the Hanuno'o and Buhid scripts of Mindoro—and was used to create the constructed modern Kulitan script of the Kapampangan and the Ibalnan script of the Palawan tribe.
Much the same way as the Latin script can be used to write Latin, Spanish, French, and English so Baybayin can be used to write Tagalog, Illocano, and Visayan.
This script also bears no relation to Hebrew. It originates from a completely different family of scripts known as Brahmic Scripts.
Brahmi is a writing system of ancient South Asia that appeared as a fully developed script in the third century BCE. Its descendants, the Brahmic scripts, continue to be used today across South and Southeast Asia.
The real answer to Lisa's question is that there is no original Philippine dialect. That is because the Philippines is an archipelago composed of 7,000 islands and 134 ethnic groups. By some counts there are between 120 to 187 native languages spoken in the Philippines.

The Philippines had contact with India, Indonesia, China, as well as the Lequois who hail from what are now known as the Ryukyu Islands. Thus there are many loan words in all Philippine dialects, especially Tagalog. It is the same for all languages.
Our second question comes from Ric Jamlig.
