Writing systems of Africa
text:
The writing systems of Africa refer to the current and historical practice of writing systems on the African continent, both indigenous and those introduced. In many African societies, history generally used to be recorded orally despite most societies having developed a writing script, leading to them being termed "oral civilisations" in contrast to "literate civilisations". Today, the Latin script is commonly encountered across Africa, especially in the Western, Central and Southern Africa reg
