The uniqueness of the African means of
communication is embedded in their originality, creativity, tradition and
culture of the people. For example; the Vai and the Mande Syllabaries script.
The oldest of these is Vai, which was invented around 1832 by Momolu Duwalu

vowel sound were used primarily for keeping records, exchanging correspondence
and translating the Qur’an and the Bible.
