King Ibrahim Njoya was 17th in dynasty of kings that ruled over the Bamum people in Cameroon. A brilliant intellectual and renaissance man, he invented an indigenous African writing system to document the history of his people. Today, @EndangeredAlpha is helping to revive it. 1/

This is the poster the world has been waiting for, the result of a decade’s research and an afternoon’s scribbling on the back of an envelope. Order one quickly before the MacArthur Foundation hears of it and the price goes up.

And while we're at it, does anyone know anything about the fate of the recently-created Rma/Qiang script?
Tim Brookes@TBAlphabets
Hey, #Tibetan Twitter! Does anyone know about Namuyi hieroglyphs? Are these the same as Baima hieroglyphs? I would be *very* grateful for information about either/both! Thanks--and please RT!

Advertising billboard for a gold merchant in Bantwal, Karnataka, written in Tigalari script. Historically used to write Sanskrit in southwest India, Tigalari is now increasingly used - as here - for the Tulu language, as a visible manifestation of Tulu culture and identity.

I don’t think I ever posted a photo of the work bench I made for myself. It reads “Do good work” in Javanese. Cherry and butternut. Those lovely flowery flourishes at each end are quotation marks. Javanese script really does everything with style.

This is extraordinarily interesting. There's a long Chukchi tradition of carving hunting and fishing scenes on bone, including what may well be pictographic images - very possibly these served as the underlying inspiration for Tenevil's absolutely remarkable self-invented script.
