In English: Angkat!

Baybayin (αœŠαœŒαœ”αœŠαœŒαœ’αœˆαœ”) is an ancient script used primarily in the Philippines. It was adopted around the 13th century and influenced by Kawi, Old Javanese script. A fun fact about Baybayin: it has the ability to represent vowel sounds clearly, which was uncommon in other Southeast Asian scripts during its time.
