that's Baybayin, the ancient script of the Philippines. it's the ancient Filipino form of writing, so it's not modern Tagalog. but it really does look like tribal words D:

This is interesting to know, being a Filipina myself. I don't get to learn much about the Philippines since I've been in America all my life.
I know that there are a lot of Muslims in the Philippines, so perhaps that's why it looks Arabic? Just wondering.. Hm. |

Actually, I don't think it looks like Thai.. my grandmother's housekeeper is Thai, and she showed me how to write. It's more.. curly is how I would put it.

I knew about that, it's Babayin. It doesn't really fit with the modern Tagalog, so you'd have to acctually learn how to speak the old, old Tagalog to write it. There's no point in learning it anymore, it's wayy out dated. That's before Spain came, mind you.
