The Bamum Script is a writing system developed in the late 19th century by the Bamum people in present-day Cameroon. Created by King Njoya, the script was designed to represent the Bamum language and promote literacy among the community. It consists of over 400 characters, including symbols for sounds and syllables. The script is notable for its unique visual style, combining geometric shapes and curves. It reflects the cultural identity of the Bamum people and has been used in various forms of literature, including poetry and historical records. Today, efforts continue to preserve and promote the use of the Bamum Script.
