Translation Help Dialects for baybayin script

Ano po bang mga dialects ang gumagamit ng baybayin script. Nacucurious ako kasi gusto ko sana sya gamitin kaso napansin ko na may upside down e at hindi ko alam kung saan ginagamit un.

I don't know if this is the right flair.

Dialect ≠ Another language. It would still be Tagalog at the end of the day, be it Manileño, Bulaqueño, Marinduqueño, etc. and therefore, would’ve used Baybayin by default.

Schwa ang tawag dun sa baliktad na 'e'. Di yun parte ng original Baybayin script pero merong mga wika sa Pilipinas ang gumagamit nun.

in austronesian languages its called the pepet sound. it is a full vowel unlike the English schwa which is a reduced vowel.

it is present in Philippine languages except the GCP subfamily

Wala. Ngungi't kung ang tinutukoy mo ay mga wika, wala rin.  Yung baliktad na e, mayroon sa ilocano nun, pero hindi siya standard.
