    I'm Sierra Leonean and I'm trying to learn the Mɛnde language, which is the language my mother speaks. Mɛnde is usually written in the latin script. From my basic research it seems like N'ko is used to write Mandé languages of which Mɛnde is a part. I'm wondering if N'ko could be used to write in Mɛnde. We have our own syllabic script (as opposed to N'ko which is alphabetic) used to write Mɛnde, but no one uses it anymore and it's quite difficult to learn, containing almost two hundred unique syllabic characters. It seems like most of the sounds in Mɛnde can be represented using the alphabet in N'ko. So I would like to try to see if it really is possible to write our language in this script! It would be amazing if all the Mande languages used this as a common script as it would make communication and literacy programs much easier and more applicable across transnational contexts.

    • @Ankataa
      @Ankataa  11 месяцев назад +1

      Hello! Thanks for reaching out and sharing. Mɛnde is a part of the broader "Mande family", but it's not "Manding" (a group of mutually intelligible varieties [Bambara, Jula, Maninka and Maninka] which are often considered to be one language). N'ko was designed for writing Manding as a single united language. You can read more about it in my dissertation or academic research articles that I link to on my personal researcher website:
      repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/2751/
      www.colemandonaldson.com/
      But yes, N'ko, like any other alphabet can be used to represent a range of languages, so you can probably use it succesfully to write Mɛnde in an efficient way if you want. I don't know enough about Mɛnde's features to know what you would need to represent in terms of vowels, lengthening, nasalization, tone, etc. Good luck and have fun! :-)

      The sounds that "don't make sense to you" are four vowels that are present in Bambara, Maninka and Jula. Gambian Mandinka only has two of these vowels, so it's likely hard for you to hear or recognize them. As for spelling "Gambia", the approach would be to either use the equivalent of "k" (ߞ) or to use "gb" marked with a diacritic above it (ߜ߭). To understand where the N'ko inventory of letters come from, it is helpful to study Sulemaana Kantè's thoughts on the history of Manding/Manden varieties. His inventory of letters isn't based on matching English or French spelling, but rather on his analysis of Manding. He tried to define letters based on his idea of various "protophonemes" (that is, historical sounds indigenous to Manding). For him, to "G" sound is not native to Manding. Of course, some of his choices can be debated. Others are quite sound from a historical linguistic perspective.

      As it is the Manding alphabet, it should be able to write every Manding languages without anything like equivalent.

      I hear your point, but I actually think that it can write every Manding variety based off what I just described. The only sound that you said that you couldn't find was "g" and I told you how to write it:

      I know that there are Mandinka speakers that use N'ko to read and write their variety in the Gambia. You should link up with them!

    Great channel. I have a question, how widely used would you say the N'ko script is in different countries? How does it compare with use of Latin or Arabic script for Manding?

    • @Ankataa
      @Ankataa  3 года назад +1

      Hi Connor! Thanks. In short, there aren't hard numbers on usage or literacy rates that are up to date. That said, it's 100% clear that there are far more print and digital texts produced every year in N'ko than in the Latin-based standards. And the use of Arabic script is even more marginal.
      You can read more about the N'ko movement and the other script traditions in my dissertation which is open access here:

      I don't know of any groups with significant usage or output of Yoruba written in N'ko script, but there seem to have been some symbolic attempts. See p. 176 of my dissertation for instance:
