TheNwagu Aneke script is asyllabary and somelogographs that was developed by Nwagu Aneke for theUmuleri dialect ofIgbo in the late 1950s. Aneke, a successful land owner and diviner, claimed to have had no prior reading or writing skills, and that he was inspired by spirits who revealed the characters to him. The script does not have any vowels but is similar to other West African scripts invented in the 19th and 20th centuries such as theVai syllabary because it has characters for sounds that are not in the Latin script. Aneke had written over 100 textbooks worth of anti-colonial commentary works and diary entries such asThe Spirits Implore Me to Record All They Have Taught Me andI Went Round the World before his death in 1991.^[1]
