<h4>Adlam</h4>
<p>
Adlam (<span class="autonym">𞤀𞤣𞤤𞤢𞤥 𞤆𞤵𞤤𞤢𞤪</span>) is an African bicameral
alphabet, written right-to-left. Used for the Fulani (Fula, 65 million
speakers) language in Guinea, which previously used Latin and Arabic. Created
around 1989 by two teenage brothers, Ibrahima and Abdoulaye Barry. One of
indigenous scripts for specific languages in West Africa, currently taught in
Guinea, Nigeria, Liberia and other countries. Adlam has 28 letters, each in
four forms. The unjoined variant is suitable for headlines and for educational
content. The cursive variant, in which letters join the same way as in Arabic
and NKo, is suitable for most texts. Needs software support for complex text
layout (shaping). Read more on
