Batak Book

[Nonoy Tan]

Albert,

Some scholars believe that the ancient scripts used in the Philippines and Batak have a common ancestry (Brahmi alphabet) , so as do all Indic and southeast Asian writings. It would be interesting to observe if our Tagbanwa and Hanunoo Mangyan brothers can recognize this script.

Nonoy,

I believe that you are correct here. I noticed that the script on one of the Ifugao walking canes from the Northern Luzon Cordillera I just got from you looks very much like Batak.
