The Filipino alphabet (officially Makabagong alpabetong Filipino; English: Modern Filipino alphabet) is made up of 28 letters, which includes the entire 21-letter set of the Abakada (including ng) and 8 letters from the Spanish alphabet (namely C, F, J, Ñ, Q, V, X and Z). It was once formerly known as the abakada when it was created by Lope K. Santos during the American colonial period. It is used today as the writing system for all autochthonous Austronesian languages in the Philippines and occasionally in writing Chabacano, a Spanish-derived creole.
