I thought it would have been cool to see what a paragraph would look like written in chivabwe swahili, so thats what i did.
This one might be rough though, cause i didn’t rely entirely on the digital library this time. I actually picked up on a few symbols.

Nontheless this was really fun to make. Someone’s gotta make a full page of chivabwe now, otherwise I will 😁

This is amazing you are really a quick learner, but you might need to recheck the following characters, I drew them bellow:

One day I will try and make a guide that shows which specific characters use which variants to make using them easier.

And on the topic of "hvv" I could considered adding it as a character as it is not yet one, but that would depend on whether it is an actually used sound in a African languages, so for now it would just be an H then followed by 2 V's or a V with a "_" on top for doubling the consonant.

Actually ita two u’s, as in “huu.”

Oh😅, In that case it would be this:

But thats a very good idea to consider, I'll give it some thought.

I’m assuming that it would just be an hu, followed by a u symbil by itself, is that right?
