As a [[Brahmic script]] [[Suyat|indigenous to the Philippines]], it closely related to [[Baybayin]] and [[HanunΓ³'o script|HanunΓ³'o]]. It is still used today by the [[Mangyan]]s, found mainly on island of [[Mindoro]], to write their language, [[Buhid language|Buhid]], together with the [[Filipino orthography|Filipino Latin script]]. There are efforts to reinvigorate the use of Surat Buhid.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Catapang |first=Emerenciana |date=2014 |title=Reviving the Hanunoo and Buhid Mangyan syllabic scripts of the Philippines |url=https://lingdy.aa-ken.jp/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/140227-intl-symp-and-ws_emerenciana_lorenzo_catapang_paper.pdf |journal=Proceedings of the International Workshop on Endangered Scripts of Island Southeast Asia}}</ref> Buhid script use varies across Northern (Bansud area) and Southern Buhid (Bongabong) communities.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Buhid|url=http://www.mangyan.org/|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201101074538/http://www.mangyan.org/content/buhid|website=Mangyan Heritage Center|archive-date=2020-11-01}}</ref> == Structure == The Buhid script has 18 independent characters; 15 are consonants and 3 vowels. As an abugida, there are additional diacritic vowels. Consonants have an inherent /a/ vowel. The other two vowels are indicated by a diacritic above (for /i/) or below (for /u/) the consonant. Depending on the consonant, ligatures are formed, changing the shape of the consonant-vowel combination.<ref name="UniStd">{{cite web|url=https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode13.0.0/ch17.pdf|title=Chapter 17: Indonesia and Oceania|publisher=Unicode Consortium|date=March 2020}}</ref> Vowels at the beginning of syllables are represented by their own, independent characters.
