2335: Adlam May 10, 2021

While most scripts around the world are quite old, from the Dark Ages if not antiquity, a number from Africa developed in the 20th century are gaining some traction. For instance, the Adlam script was used across the Sahel and in particular the country of Nigeria by around 65 million people had previously been written in both the Latin and Arabic script, but both were insufficient for its expression and thus Adlam was developed by 2 teenagers in the 1980's. Both due to its native phonology that doesn't match the other two previously used writing systems, as well as its diacritics for things like consonant gemination, prenasalized consonants, long vowels and modified consonants, it much more accurately and simply represents the functions of the language. It also has its own numerical system which is written right-to-left, unlike in Arabic where the writing is also right-to-left but the numbers are left-to-right.
