About Niganese[]
Niganese(N•EYE•JAH•NEES or NEE•GAH•NEES) is designed for writing in the Niganese, KiSwahili other African/Afro languages The Niganese language is somewhat like, Japanese, Wakandan, Nsibidi and Hieroglyphs because of how it looks, functions and how it's written. Like Japanese and Nsibidi, it consists of 3 syllabaries called Alama, Fomugana and Kalikana.
The characteristics and usages of Alama, Fomugana and Kalikana[]
When writing in the Niganese language; the sentence structure of Niganese is Subject-Object-Verb (I you love) like Japanese and Swahili. Each syllabary of characters a has functional purpose; for example:
- Alama: are the 'Kanji' characters borrowed from the combinations of Egyptian Hieroglyphs, Wakandan, Adinkra and Nsibidi and other African symbols mixed with the inspirational calligraphic styles of Sino/Japonic/Koreanic writings, Hieroglyphs, Chữ Vòng, Yuktepat, Nsibidi and others. Alama is very useful because; #1. It can represent a meaning of any action, state of being or object, #2. It reduces longer sentences and can represent more letters/syllables than their other syllabic counterparts: Fomugana/Kalikana; which they're 1/2 letter characters. To write Afrikanese words which are not normally written with alama, such as adverbs and some nouns and adjectives, or for words whose alama are obscure or obsolete. Both Fomuganas and Kalikanas are also sometimes written above or along side alama to indicate specifications and/or pronunciations, especially if they're obscure or non-standard.
- Fomugana: are the cursive-shaped syllabary that consists of 96 characters (75 consonant-vowel characters plus 21 single consonant or vowel characters) used for writing Native African words, word endings, phrases.
- Kalikana: are the sharp-shaped syllabary that consists of 96 characters (75 consonant-vowel characters plus 21 single consonant or vowel characters) used for writing non-African, foreign-based or "loan" words, onomatopoeic words and foreign names.
