WHY Learn KULITAN?For centuries, the Kapampángan Language has been written in the Spanish orthography using the Roman script. In an attempt to decolonize Kapampángan writing, the Katipunan writers from the town of Wáwâ (Guagua), began to reform Kapampángan writing in the late 19th century according to José Rizal’s proposed reform on Tagalog orthography which he based on the Tagalog precolonial script, Baybayin.
Unlike Tagálog however, the Kapampángan Language makes a phonemic distinction between long and short vowels. This can not be accurately represented via Rizal’s Baybayin-based orthography. Yet due to the compulsory teaching of the Tagalog language in schools, Kapampángans started to write their language in the Baybayin-based Tagalog orthography.
To totally decolonize Kapampángan writing from Spanish, English and Tagalog, as well as accurately represent the sounds of the Kapampángan Language, we offer you another basic Kulitan class.
This basic Kulitan Class is FREE and OPEN to the PUBLIC. Please bring your own writing materials and come on time.
