Designer's Notes

Basahan script also known as Guhit, is the native name used by Bicolanos to refer to Baybayin. It is an abugida script in the pre-colonial Bicol peninsula, Philippines. Basahan is the same with Baybayin Tagalog and other abugidas in the Philippines.

The word Basahan is already recorded in a book entitled Vocabulario de la Lengua Bicol by Marcos de Lisboa in 1628 which states that it has three vowels and fifteen consonants.
