Basahan Language: Ancient script and fun facts

Kabuhi, Guhit ng Basahan! (Hello in the Basahan Language)
In English, that translates to "Hope, Basahan Language!"
The ancient Basahan language is thought to be related to the Malay language, and it was spoken by people living on the island of Panay in the Philippines before Spanish colonization. A fun fact about the Basahan people is that they used a unique form of script called basahan script, which combined elements from the Latin alphabet and native symbols. This writing system was primarily used for religious purposes, such as transcribing religious texts and inscriptions on stone monuments.
