I am an Austronesian linguist with a Ph.D. and was a presenter at the 13-ICAL in Taipei. I listened to the presentation by Michael R. Pangilinan (https://siuala.com/category/kulitan/) and his colleague with the username Nordenx (https://nordenx.blogspot.com/) about their creation of the Kulitan font, a la Japanese calligraphy.
What is the difference between the 'historic' and 'traditional' ways of writing? Should the two words refer to the same?
I think that Kulitan characters themselves are real and traditional; however, I am very skeptical about their vertical writing style because Mr. Pangilinan is much inclined toward Japanese culture, and it is possible that he spread this style, saying it is 'traditional'.
I can never forgive if this is a cultural invention.
Your insights are crucial to this scholarly debate. If you have any counterarguments, I invite you to share examples of the vertical writing style in traditional literature. 2404:7A82:3E40:8A00:2578:EB3E:611A:B8E6 (talk) 12:06, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
