Do you know that Hannah Beachler, Black Panther’s production designer, says a 400-year-old Nigerian language was one of the two languages that inspired Wakanda’s language.?

Recently, I saw a post by Tecno mobile asking if viewers would love watching the new thrilling movie, Black Panther in the cinemas or on the full display of the new camon CM, and I realized that whether you prefer it on a smartphone in your comfort zone or in the cinemas, so many facts about the movie are unknown to many.

Nsibidi, a language formerly used in parts of Cross River, was used repeatedly through the course of the movie as the language of the fictional Wakanda kingdom (Wakanda is a fictional country and was used as location in some parts of the movie, Black Panther).
In an interview with Indie Wire, Beachler said the remnants of Nsibidi were combined with Roman numerals to create an advanced Nsibidi script.

“Using lines and dots, Nsibidi was expanded with an array of symbols, initially inspired by Chinese, Arabic, and Dogon and Murci of Africa,” she said.

“It was a secretive language, based on pictography, so it was about how you put the symbols together and the image you create.

“The language needed to evolve from the older hieroglyphs into a more modern version. We used it in a pictograph way but the numerical system stayed the same.”

In the throne room, where T’Challa, played by Chadwick Boseman, sat traditional Nsibidi symbols inscribed on a large column were visible, with smaller columns containing the more modern version of the language denoting the various names of the tribes in the movie.

“Ryan wanted a newer script that felt African but was really advanced,” Bleacher said, explaining how she discovered the language.

“I started looking at different cave drawings, we looked at LA graffiti artist Retna and were inspired by his being able to create these characters that were fresh, and started playing and playing. I did three or four passes and so did a couple of the illustrators. We mixed them, bringing our own aesthetic to it and made an entire alphabet.”

The process of bringing Nsibidi to life took Beachler and Coogler six months.

The movie has grossed over $700 million worldwide as at Sunday.

Yes it's easier to say it's overrated until you see the movie then you'll have a rethink.

Op can the battery strength of the Camon CM last for one to watch this movie from start to finish twice?


Meanwhile, lalasticlala come and see the real age of black panther actors

Let's not call it overrated..... The movie is actually cool

Yet to see the movie...but the hype is massive

What a rich and diverse culture we have. Yet to see the movie though.

Very inspiring post. I'm happy our culture is recognized but its too bad we don't recognize it. Waiting to watch this movie on FHD like in the TECNO Camon CM, as I no get money for cinema
