It accrued to me from a dialog over at E/S that despite information currently available some people are still ignorant of the fact that Africans besides the ancient Kemeties developed their own scripts and writing systems I am posting a link I found yrs ago on such systems,I will paste some of what those scripts looks like but please use the link for further information The African Writing Systems web site was created in 1996 by Professor Ayele Bekerie, with creative and design assistance from Anika Iesha Daniels and Joseph Egbulefu. It is partially funded by the Ford Foundation. www.library.cornell.edu/africana/Writing_Systems/Welcome.html
