cheruv: cheruv, the reason why I put the Ikpo Nisbidi in akagu is because you need to learn akagu first, since they are linked. Even if I put it in Latin, which I don't want to do because I'm not looking for people to be relaxed, you would still need akagu to write some terms, and again what happens when you learn nsibidi and forget one crucial character? I'm willing to wait for people to learn akagu. On your second point, that is exactly a situation that nsibidi is there to help solve, every different verb has a different character (apart from more unique and obscure ones that don't have a character out of the 1400). Those there 'na' have their own unique characters. |

ChinenyeN: That's one of the advantages of the script. |

cheruv: I wouldn't even call them a media house. It's more like a collaborate effort by a handful of writers and artists. Who knows, though. Maybe the collaboration will become something official someday. odensibiri: That's exactly how I see it. |

![]() There's a group for discussing Igbo language on Google Plus, including discussion on new vocabulary and nsibiri use. It's to be a central place for 'standardising' Igbo. The requirement is that you speak [Engli-]Igbo at a conversational level. If you're interested or know anyone who is send a message. odensibiri@gmail.com. |

im really liking this script thing, when i learn igbo ill try to learn Nsibidi along with it. i also think Nsibidi could be used as a unity script across nigeria used by multiple languages, allowing an hausa man to write in nsibidi and a yoruba man would be able to understand without even knowing hausa. |
