Súrat Bisáyâ    Súrat Bisáyâ

Súrat Bisáyâ was devised by Qara (ᜑᜍ), formerly Zurocha (ᜇᜓᜍᜓᜆ᜔ᜌ), from the Philippines in 2011-2012, and extensively modified in 2023. It is based primarily on Visayan variants of Baybayin, with influences from Hanunó'o, Kana and Kulitan.

It is named Súrat Bisáyâ because it was developed first and foremost for the Bisaya (Cebuano) language, but can also be used to write any language that can be reasonably represented within the limitations of the script. It is also known as Ang Súrat Bisáyâ ni Qara or Ang Binadlit ni Qara.
