Surat Buhid is an abugida used to write the Buhid language. As a Brahmic script indigenous to the Philippines, it closely related to Baybayin and Hanunó'o. It is still used today by the Mangyans, found mainly on island of Mindoro, to write their language, Buhid, together with the Filipino Latin script.

There are efforts to reinvigorate the use of Surat Buhid.{{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}} Buhid script use varies across Northern (Bansud area) and Southern Buhid (Bongabong) communities.{{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}}

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.{{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}} Vowels at the beginning of syllables are represented by their own, independent characters. Syllables ending in a consonant are written without the final consonant.{{cite web|first=Michael|last=Everson|author-link=Michael Everson|title=N1933 Revised proposal for encoding the Philippine scripts in the UCS|url=https://www.unicode.org/L2/L1999/n1933.pdf|date=1998-11-23}}
