===Language and alphabet=== According to Filipino writer and historian [[Hermenegildo Cruz]], the official language of the Katipunan is [[Tagalog language|Tagalog]], and uses an alphabet nearly similar to [[Spanish alphabet]] but has a different meaning and the way it was read was changed. [[Diacritic]]s were added, to emphasize the existence of [[Ng (digraph)#N|ng]] and [[Tagalog grammar#Nouns|mga]] on Tagalog orthography. The following is an excerpt from Cruz' ''[[Kartilya ng Katipunan|Kartilyang]] Makabayan: Mga Tanong at Sagot Ukol Kay [[Andrés Bonifacio]] at sa KKK'' ({{langx|en|Nationalist Primer: Questions and Answers about Andrés Bonifacio and KKK}}, Manila, 1922):<ref>{{Harvnb|Cruz|1922}} VI[30].</ref> {| class=wikitable |- ! scope="col" | Original writing ! scope="col" | Modern [[Manila]] Tagalog translation ! scope="col" |Rough English translation |- |30. '''Anong wika ang ginagamit ng̃ mg̃á kasapi sa Katipunan?'''<br> Ang tagalog; n͠guni't ang kahulugan ng̃ ilang titik ng̃ abakadang kastilà ay iniba sa kanilang pagsulat ng̃ mg̃á kasulatan at gayon din sa paglagdá ng̃ kanilang mg̃á sagisag. Ang titik na ''"a"'' ay ginawang '''"z"''', ang ''"c"'' at ''"q"'' ay ginawang '''"k"''', ang ''"i"'' ay '''"n"''', ang ''"l"'' at ''"ll"'' ay '''"j"''' ang ''"m"'' ay '''"v"''', ang ''"n"'' ay '''"ll"''', ang ''"o"'' ay '''"c"''' at ang ''"u"'' ay '''"x"'''. Ang ''f, j, v, x'' at ''z'' ng̃ abakadang kastilà ay itinakwil pagka't Hindi kailan͠gan. Sa maliwanag na ulat ay ganitó ang Abakadá (alfabeto) ng̃ "Katipunan" kung itutulad sa abakada ng̃ wikang kastilà. |30. '''Anong wika ang ginagamit ng mga miyembro sa Katipunan?''' Ang Tagalog; pero ang kahulugan ng ilang letra ng abakadang Kastila ay iniba sa kanilang pagsulat ng mga kasulatan at ganoon din sa pagpirma ng kanilang mga sagisag (o simbolo). Ang letrang ''"a"'' ay ginawang '''"z"''', ang ''"c"'' at ''"q"'' ay ginawang '''"k"''', ang ''"i"'' ay '''"n"''', ang ''"l"'' at ''"ll"'' ay '''"j"''' ang ''"m"'' ay '''"v"''', ang ''"n"'' ay '''"ll"''', ang ''"o"'' ay '''"c"''' at ang ''"u"'' ay '''"x"'''. Ang ''f, j, v, x'' at ''z'' ng abakadang Kastila ay itinakwil dahil sa Hindi kailangan. Sa maliwanag na salita ay ganito ang Abakada (alpabeto) ng "Katipunan" kung itutulad sa abakada ng wikang Kastila. |30. '''What is the language used by the members of the Katipunan?'''<br> [[Tagalog language|Tagalog]]; however, the meanings of some letters from the Spanish alphabet have been changed. The letter ''"a"'' becomes '''"z"''', ''"c"'' and ''"q"'' become '''"k"''', the letter ''"i"'' is '''"n"''', the letters ''"l"'' and ''"ll"'' are '''"j"''' letter ''"m"'' is '''"v"''', letter ''"n"'' is '''"ll"''', letter ''"o"'' is '''"c"''' and letter ''"u"'' is '''"x"'''. The letters ''f, j, v, x'' and ''z'' are not needed, and unused. |- |} Presented below is the Katipunan alphabet, when compared to the Spanish alphabet. {|class="wikitable" style="border-collapse:collapse;margin:1em auto;" |- |bgcolor="#EFEFEF" align="center" colspan="26" | Abakada ng̃ kastilà (Spanish alphabet) |- |width=3% align="center"|A||width=3% align="center"|B||width=3% align="center"|C||width=3% align="center"|D||width=3% align="center"|E||width=3% align="center"|F||width=3% align="center"|G||width=3% align="center"|H||width=3% align="center"|I||width=3% align="center"|J||width=3% align="center"|K||width=3% align="center"|LL||width=3% align="center"|M||width=3% align="center"|N||width=3% align="center"|O||width=3% align="center"|P||width=3% align="center"|Q||width=3% align="center"|R||width=3% align="center"|S||width=3% align="center"|T||width=3% align="center"|U||width=3% align="center"|V||width=3% align="center"|W||width=3% align="center"|X||width=3% align="center"|Y||width=3% align="center"|Z |- |bgcolor="#EFEFEF" align="center" colspan="26" | Abakada ng̃ "Katipunan" ("Katipunan" alphabet) |- |align="center"|Z||align="center"|B||align="center"|K||align="center"|D||align="center"|Q||align="center"|H||align="center"|G||align="center"|F||align="center"|N||align="center"|L||align="center"|K||align="center"|J||align="center"|V||align="center"|LL||align="center"|C||align="center"|P||align="center"|K||align="center"|R||align="center"|S||align="center"|T||align="center"|X||align="center"|M||align="center"|W||align="center"|U||align="center"|Y||align="center"|- |}
