Why yes, yes it was ;). But, most saalangal use paper and ink now, and they do have printing presses.

I should. It's a matter of cutting and pasting the different characters, which is an easy task for me. But i need some saalangal vocab first (since saalangal is supposed to sound close to indonesian/philippine, i could use either bahasa indonesia, or tagalog for some samples, just to show the script in use.
