Languages without writing Could you guys list some
languages that don't have any
writing systems of their own.

The majority of languages are without a writing system of its own if we count each language by the same weight. One estimate proposes a figure of around 6,100 out of 6,500 classified languages to be without a writing system. Some languages without a writing system Ainu of Japan and the lower Amur in East Siberia |

African writing systems?
Further to criticism of my
question about an indigenous
Afrcan writing system I have
done some research and found
the following listed? Did you
know about these African
writing systems? I wonder how
much has been lost too.
Ethiopic Writing System (Geez)
Afan-Oromo Script
Amharic Syllographs
Ethiopic System w/ Numeric
Values
Bassa Script
Meroitic Script
Vai Syllabry
Mende Script
Nsibidi
Akan
Adinkra
Wabuti
Tifingh
This also excluded Egyptian
Hieroglyphics. Did you know
that our Western Alphabet is
also descended from
Hieropglyphics via Phoenician
and so is technically
"African" in origin too!!!
Why do historians always
forget or actively ignore the
African connection or origin
to things and then claim that
the West has done everything
and that Africans are just a
bunch of ignorant
spear-chucking savages?

Conservation- the Romans had
spears too, by the way the
Roman mathematical system was
a nightmare and the one we
use, our current numbers,
originated in the East and was
brought to Europe by the
Arabs.
Darth- follow the links and
you will see that there were
African books, Western
scholars ignored them
completely. Anyway, most
people in Europe were
illiterate up until 150 years
ago too.

This is very interesting. This should at least prove that we Africans are not as primitive as the world thinks we are. Here's an interesting link i found http://www.tamarin.com/king/ki nge11.html |

Have anyone of you ever I invented one writing system
that has more than 36,000
characters. It's not like the
Chinese and Japanese
characters you would usually
see. It's more like the Korean
writing sytem but a lot more
combinations. The 36,000
characters are the
combinations of:
c, v, c-v, c-v-c, c-v-c-v,
v-c, and c-c.
c = consonant
v = vowel
It's very easy to memorize it.
Just plug in the letters from
my alphabet into groups of
combinations of consonants and
vowels.
(I like to invent and
explore!)
Also, please list some sites
where I can find other writing
systems.
Thank you all! : )
Here's my example of my "made
up" language (This is in
English equivalent form):
moy neplic nac oyu pe'lsae?
Can you get my pencil please?
Te'h last'a saps'a pe'lsae.
Pass the salt please.
Moy giw te'h Uchene sah!
The Queen has my wig!
cool huh?
a=a as in "sat"
e=e as in "pet"
i= i as in "beat"
o=o as in "moat"
u=u as in "boot"
This will help you pronounce
the words in my "made up"
language.
