     @liaizon It is! 🇵🇭 It's really sad the Latin script was adopted as the official script for Philippine languages even after the colonial era.

     @liaizon Yep. But only the Tagalog variant.

     Of the 4 variants currently in Unicode, the two Mangyan variants (Hanunoó and Buhid) are the ones that retained uninterrupted use, but I can't read it. 😅

     The Tagalog variant, while always taught in schools, it was never used until a resurgence in the early 2000s. That one I can read and write.

     Tagalog variant: ᜋᜊᜓᜑᜌ᜔ (ma-bu-ha-y)
     Hanunoó: ᜡᜧᜫᜦᜥᜤᜩᜨᜲᜢᜳᜣᜳᜥᜲᜥᜳᜥ᜴ (random letters)
     Buhid: ᝋᝉᝃᝒᝁᝅᝆᝏᝃᝎᝒ (random letters)

     @liaizon Ah! Good question!

     The best way is to transliterate as "pe-di-bers" which is written like this: ᜉᜒᜇᜒᜊᜒᜇ᜔ᜐ᜔

     If we translate, which is the standard method, it's hard to translate "federated":

     - federated = interconnected = konektado (lit. connected)

     However:
     - federation = pederasyon = synonyms: unyon (literally union), pagbubuklod, etc.
     - federal = pederal = sang-isahan / san-isahan = synonym: buklod (lit. (1) to be together; (2) to set apart)

     So, we can probably use the following for "federated":
     - lipunan (literally society, association)
     - pagbibigkis (lit. unionizing, establishing relationships or connections)
     - kapisanan (lit. association, club, group, society)
     - buklod ((1) to be together; (2) to set apart)

     For universe:
     - kalawakan (Tagalog & Filipino) (lit. outer space)
     - sansinukob (Tagalog & Filipino; used in Filipino language astronomy and other literature) (lit. one cover) (root word: sukob (en: cover))
     - uniberso (Filipino language only) Spanish loan word in Tagalog, in Baybayin loan words comes as second to the last resort (last resort is transliteration)

     We can probably have:
     - bigkisberso = ᜊᜒᜄ᜔ᜃᜒᜐ᜔ᜊᜒᜇ᜔ᜐᜓ (bi-g-ki-s-be-r-so)
     - sansinukob = ᜐᜈ᜔ᜐᜒᜈᜓᜃᜓᜊ᜔ (sa-n-si-nu-ko-b) = I personally like this one
     - bukob (buklod + sukob) = ᜊᜓᜃᜓᜊ᜔ (bu-ko-b) = just my invention

     ---

     Tagging @pilipinas and @philippines Anyone have suggestions?
