So far, I these for potential Filipino translation of "Fediverse":
- bigkisberso (bigkis + uniberso)
- sansinukob = used in Filipino astronomy and literature to refer to the "universe" (I personally like this one)
- bukob (buklod + sukob) = just my invention
Other suggestions?
Since we're talking about the Filipino language (not Tagalog language), this means all Philippine languages are valid. We can combine them together, even use the 6th vowel /ë/.
But how about "Social Web"?
I was told that the Filipino for "Internet" is "daigbatan". I'm just not sure though since I can't find information on "batan" other than:
- Original name of Bataän was Batan, a Spanish word for "log" (🪵) which the province was named after by the Spaniards.
- The Ivatan people call themselves in the Ivatan language as "Batan". (Yes, Batanes = Isles of [the] Batan [people]. Batan + Isles (just my theory, but it makes logical sense 😝))
So, I'm not sure why "Internet" is "daigbatan".
My thought process is, "social web" could be:
- liponbatan = literally social network
- daiglipon = lit. world social; web social
Other suggestions?

@[email protected] Ah! Good question! The best way is to transliterate as "pe-di-bers" which is written like this: ᜉᜒᜇᜒᜊᜒᜇ᜔ᜐ᜔ If we translate, which is the standard method, it's hard to translate "federated": - federated = interconnected = konektado (lit. connected) However: - federation = pederasyon = synonyms: unyon (literally union), pagbubuklod, etc. - federal = pederal = sang-isahan / san-isahan = synonym: buklod (lit. (1) to be together; (2) to set apart) So, we can probably use the following for "federated": - lipunan (literally society, association) - pagbibigkis (lit. unionizing, establishing relationships or connections) - kapisanan (lit. association, club, group, society) - buklod ((1) to be together; (2) to set apart) For universe: - kalawakan (Tagalog & Filipino) (lit. outer space) - sansinukob (Tagalog & Filipino; used in Filipino language astronomy and other literature) (lit. one cover) (root word: sukob (en: cover)) - uniberso (Filipino language only) Spanish loan word in Tagalog, in Baybayin loan words comes as second to the last resort (last resort is transliteration) We can probably have: - bigkisberso = ᜊᜒᜄ᜔ᜃᜒᜐ᜔ᜊᜒᜇ᜔ᜐᜓ (bi-g-ki-s-be-r-so) - sansinukob = ᜐᜈ᜔ᜐᜒᜈᜓᜃᜓᜊ᜔ (sa-n-si-nu-ko-b) = I personally like this one - bukob (buklod + sukob) = ᜊᜓᜃᜓᜊ᜔ (bu-ko-b) = just my invention --- Tagging @[email protected] and @[email protected] Anyone have suggestions? @[email protected]
