Kulitan, also known as súlat Kapampángan and pamagkulit, is one of the various indigenous suyat^[3] writing systems in the Philippines. It was used for writing Kapampangan, a language mainly spoken in Central Luzon, until it was gradually replaced by the Latin alphabet.

Kulitan is an abugida, or an alphasyllabary — a segmental writing system in wherein consonant–vowel sequences are written as a unit and possess an inherent vowel sound that can be altered with use of diacritical marks. There is a proposal to encode the script in Unicode by Anshuman Pandey, from the Department of Linguistics at UC Berkeley.^[4] There are also proposals to revive the script by teaching it in Kapampangan-majority public and private schools.^[3]
