Tagalog Alphabet
The Abakada alphabet was an "indigenized" Latin alphabet adopted for the Tagalog-based Filipino national language in 1940. The alphabet, which contains 20 letters, was introduced in the grammar book developed by Lope K. Santos for the newly-designated national language based on Tagalog. The alphabet was officially adopted by the Institute of National Language ( fil, Surián ng Wikang Pambansâ). The Abakada alphabet has since been superseded by the modern Filipino alphabet adopted in 1987. Order/collation of the Abakada The collation of letters in the Abakada closely follows those of other Latin-based spelling systems, with the digraph ''ng'' inserted after ''n''. When spelling or naming each consonant, its sound is always pronounced with an "a" at the end (e.g. "ba", "ka", etc). This is also the reason for the system’s name. History During the pre-Hispanic era, Old Tagalog was written using the Kawi or the Baybayin script. For three centuries Tagalog was writ ...
