| Do People In Igboland Still Use Nsibidi? by CyrusTheGreat(op): 10:50pm On May 07, 2017 |
The question is within the title. I found out about this writing system used in Southeast Nigeria that uses pictographic/logographic characters like Chinese or Egyptian Hieroglyphs. Needless to say, it sounds really intriguing! I was wondering if anyone uses it in writing, or if it's just for decoration? |

Wow, I did some googling and came across this amazing Nsibidi dictionary, so I guess it must have some presence(?). These characters look so unique. http://nsibiri..com.au/p/main-files.html 1 Like |
