Nairaland having an AI like Grok or Meta AI would really help with verifying posts like this in real time. It would improve the quality of discussions a lot.

IT LOOKS LIKE NSIBIDI.

YOU ARE RIGHT.

BUT IF YOU HAD POSTED NSIBIDI SCRIPT ON NAIRALAND, IT WOULD NOT REACH FRONT PAGE BECAUSE IT IS AFRICAN.

Here's OUR OWN precolonial writing and communication systems which were FAR MORE SOPHISTICATED and ADVANCED than Chinese and European writing.

You will learn why the colonial invaders were so desperate to crush it, and force their PRIMITIVE writing system on us.

Here is an English translation of the transcribed text:
Title & Translator:
The Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra
Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Kumārajīva of the Later Qin
Chapter 1: The Setting of the Dharma Assembly
Thus have I heard. At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park, in the kingdom of Śrāvastī, together with a great assembly of twelve hundred and fifty monks. At that time, when it was the hour for the World-Honored One to take his meal, he put on his robe, took his alms bowl, and entered the great city of Śrāvastī to beg for food. Within that city, he went from house to house in proper order to receive alms. Having finished, he returned to his original place. When his meal was finished, he put away his robe and bowl, washed his feet, spread out his seat, and sat down.
Chapter 2: Subhūti's Request
At that time, the Elder Subhūti rose from his seat in the great assembly, bared his
The text breaks off at "bared his" (偏袒), which continues in the full sutra as "right shoulder, knelt upon his right knee, joined his palms respectfully, and addressed the Buddha..."

These are scripts from my guys Jet Li and Jackie Chan's side nah.. Chinese

China now. Their writing are always like signatures

Korean. Chinese and Japanese are not there.

...because they are degraded and despised by people in this world. The evil karmic obstacles from their past lives will thus be wiped out, and they shall attain Supreme Unsurpassed Enlightenment.


Subhuti, I remember that in the past, countless eons ago, before the time of Dipamkara Buddha, I met and made offerings to eighty-four thousand billion nayutas of Buddhas, serving them all faithfully without a single omission.


Yet, if someone in the future degenerate age can receive, retain, read, and recite this sutra, the merit they obtain will be so great that the merit from my offerings to all those Buddhas cannot match even a hundredth part of it. Indeed, it cannot be matched by a thousand-billionth part, nor can it be calculated by any math or illustration.


Subhuti, if a good man or good woman in the future degenerate age receives, retains, reads, and recites this sutra, and if I were to describe their full merits completely, those who hear it might become mentally confused, deeply skeptical, and disbelieving.
Subhuti, you should know that...

Ai says:

This is classical Chinese Buddhist scripture text.

It appears to be a page from the Diamond Sutra (金剛經 / Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra), written in traditional Chinese characters in vertical format, read from right to left.

Some visible phrases include:

「若有人受持讀誦此經」
(“If someone receives, upholds, reads, and recites this sutra…”)

「功德」
(“merit” or “spiritual virtue”)

「須菩提」
(Subhuti, one of the Buddha’s disciples)


The style looks like a woodblock-printed East Asian Buddhist canon edition, possibly from China, Korea, or Japan. The smaller text at the bottom appears to be annotation or reading aid text.

This is not modern Chinese prose — it is literary/classical Buddhist Chinese translated from Sanskrit centuries ago.
