Nah, it doesnt look at all like old Tagalog does. Like Kristian says, it's most likely a syriac script (for instance, Tagalog script didnt connect glyphs together (AFAIK). This one most definately looks like it does). Though it's a bit odd that it would end up there, unless missionaries were from syria. ________________________________________________ All the simple things are simply too complicated for my life
