History
Which African script, invented in the 1800s, writes the Vai language?
- The Vai syllabary
- Ge'ez
- Nsibidi
The answer is The Vai syllabary. Of Liberia.
The Vai syllabary is a syllabic writing system devised for the Vai language by Momolu Duwalu Bukele of Jondu, in what is now Grand Cape Mount County, Liberia. Bukele is regarded within the Vai community, as well as by most scholars, as the syllabary's inventor and chief promoter when it was first documented in the 1830s. It is one of the two most successful indigenous scripts in West Africa in terms of the number of current users and the availability of literature written in the script, the other being the N'Ko script.
