  10. THE USE OF THE LETTER K • “K” has a value more fixed than c and q • It also facilitates the grammatical formulation of verbs whose roots begin with “ka” and “ku.” • Also, the Tagalog syllables ka, ki, ko, ku do not sound the same as the Spanish ca, qui, co, qu, because the Tagalog “k” is subtly aspirated;

  11. K and Nationalism “ K is for De-Kolonization: Anti-Colonial Nationalism and Orthographic Reform” in Comparative Studies in Society and History 2007; 49 (4) 938-967 By MEGAN THOMAS

  12. THOMAS’S ASSERTIONS • 1892, official Katipunan documents appeared using the letter K • Their orthographic choices suggested a continuity between those who advocated the new orthography in 1899 and the Katipunan leaders-- ideology related not divorced • Use of K in emblem exploited symbolic significance -- “flagging the nation”

  13. THOMAS QUOTING KATHRYN WOOLARD, 1998 • “In countries where identity and nation are under negotiation, every aspect of language, including its graphic representation, can be contested. This means that orthographic systems… are symbols that themselves carry cultural, historical and political meanings.” Woolard 1898, “Language Ideology as a Field of Inquiry.”
