N'Ko alphabet for the Manding language varieties

Kanté created N'Ko, a modern script for, as he saw it,[3] the Manding language in 1949 after five years of experimentation with various writing systems.^[1] The script first came into use in Kankan, Guinea and was disseminated from there into other Manding-speaking parts of West Africa.
