Bassa Vah is an African bicameral alphabet, written left-to-right. Used for
|
|
the Bassa language spoken in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and by communities in
|
|
Brazil and the Caribbean. Developed by Dr. Thomas Flo Lewis from a sign system
|
|
used by the Bassa people to avoid slave traders, later suppressed by colonial
|
|
powers, fell into disuse. Has 23 consonants, 7 vowels, and 5 tone diacritics.
