Kisimbi: Other: Writing Systems: Syllabic

Derived from Wasiketian hieroglyphics. The Kisimbi Syllabary (local Ikasi "our glyphs" or Bisono waBarume "Badume symbols") is actually quite simple compared to the writing systems of its sister languages, some of whom include special symbols for noun class, or new symbols to account for sound change and borrowing. Written left-to-right, up-to-down. Original writing material: palm leaves.
