Kpelle

The Kpelle people are a West African ethnic group who live in the countries of Liberia, Côte d'Ivoire, and Guinea. They are known for their unique form of writing, which is called Kpelle script. Kpelle script is a unique form of writing that was developed by the Kpelle people. It is a syllabic script, which means that each character represents a syllable. This type of writing is different from most other writing systems, which are based on alphabets. The Kpelle script is thought to have been developed in the early 1800s. It is believed that the script was created by a man named Gbessa, who was a Kpelle chief. Gbessa is thought to have been inspired by the Arabic script, which he saw while he was travelling in North Africa. The Kpelle script is written from left to right. It is written on paper or bark cloth. The characters are made up of straight lines and curves. The Kpelle script is used to write the Kpelle language. This language is spoken by about 1.5 million people. It is also used to write other languages, such as Mandingo and Susu. The Kpelle script is not very well known outside of West Africa. However, it is an important part of the Kpelle culture.
