This extensions swaps English letters for baybayin syllables. I'm interested in seeing pre-colonial knowledge systems in a contemporary environment.
As the current web isn't really setup to process pre-colonial scripting, the results can be unpredictable.

baybayin 2.0, in-progress, programming language written in baybayin
Baybayin is a pre-Hispanic Philippine script. During the 16th and 17th centuries it was supplanted by the Latin alphabet during the Spanish colonial period. Despite this, baybayin is seen as a link to filipinx indigenous heritage and used a symbol of pride.
This project attempts to move baybayin from it’s status as a relic writing system to a contemporary programming language. Modern day programming languages are heavily biased towards English speakers and code-literacy is one of the fastest growing kinds of language fluency in the Philippines and other parts of the developing world.
