Mandombe: Invention and Revelation in an African Writing System

Ramon Sarró, Institute of Social Studies, Lisbon University. The mandombe writing system is mainly used by members of the Kimbanguist Church to transcribe Kikongo and Lingala. While some see it as a prophetic gift to humans, others, following the inventor, see it as a human invention created to change society and make a better world more in tune with God’s designs.
