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 N’Ko, is suitable for most texts. Needs software support for complex text
|
||
layout (shaping). Read more on
