@asangelwassayin @Adaezae_1 Unfortunately your teacher was wrong. I gave a detailed explanation in your main replies.
@asangelwassayin á (acute accent) indicates high tone a or ā (macron accent) indicates mid (aka falling / rising or down stepped) tone à (grave accent) indicates low tone. It is necessary to write these accents on top of all vowels IN ADDITION to dots below when the vowels are class A vowels.
@asangelwassayin This statement is particularly wrong. — You cannot write "àsúsú". It is supposed to be "asụsụ" All the vowels in asusu are class 1 / class A / short vowels, and so must be written with dots underneath, and all vowels must indicate tone, so asụsụ still needs accents on top.
@desmond1a1a @sugabelly Here’s Chibuike written in two ways. 1. Chibuike as chi bu ike. 2. Chibuike how it’s usually pronounced as chi b’ike You can crop out the English explanatory text if you want only the Ndebe script part.
@Ahuoyiza_ @sugabelly Ala has only two syllables. A-la
@sheribloom872 @chiewube @emeka_ezra @sugabelly @KelinKVE Hello SheriBloom. You can try out typing on TypeNdebe.com, and we’ll work on uploading the Keyman keyboard file for people like you who would rather download and install it directly.
@TochiPN @legendisonu @amara_landu @sugabelly Please read our pinned tweet. It details all the updates and why they were made.
Script Updates to Ndebe Script. Thank you to everyone who is involved in helping to test Ndebe script for all the valuable feedback you give. The outcome of ongoing writability testing is that Lotanna has made following changes to the Ndebe Script. #NdebeScript #NdebeForIgbo
@legendisonu @amara_landu @sugabelly @Augusta1161096 Ndebe is specifically designed for Igbo by an Igbo person, so yes, that makes it an Igbo script.
@legendisonu @amara_landu @sugabelly @Augusta1161096 But she is Igbo.
@chiewube @emeka_ezra @sugabelly @KelinKVE The consonants are laid out in a grid. That’s what you’re looking at in your screenshot. Each consonant is made up of two parts: a stem and a fruit radical. e.g. if you look at the letter L in the grid, to the extreme left, you will see its stem, and at the top, its radical
@chiewube @emeka_ezra @sugabelly @KelinKVE What specifically is your question or the part you need help with in relation to the consonants?
@chiewube @emeka_ezra @sugabelly @KelinKVE Can you screenshot what you are seeing and indicate what part of it you are confused about?
@racgings @sugabelly Please do not buy the ebook as it is outdated. When the new book is released those who already bought the old ebook will receive a copy. Our website is most up to date.
@Ad_Asp3ra @sugabelly @KelinKVE The entire script is available to the general public to learn for free on TypeNdebe.com Writing demonstrations are also available here on the Ndebe Project Twitter account, and we also offer corrections. Are there any intricacies beyond that you are inquiring about?
@chukwuemek53412 You should make effort to write it yourself. You can make attempts using the writing chart on Ndebe.org You can post your writing here if you get stuck.

@sashabone With the chart mentioned in the thread replies and comments.
@LeryQuess @sugabelly No. Unfortunately there is no braille version of Ndebe yet.
@chiewube @emeka_ezra @sugabelly @KelinKVE There are far more than 5 consonants. Are you perhaps talking about vowels? There are 9 vowels on the chart and 1 pseudo vowel.
@tweetsofAce_ @sugabelly You’re not completing your consonants. The L in Lo is made up of two parts. And so should look like this before you add a vowel. To add the vowel you need the vowel tone. In this case, we know the O in Lo is a mid tone, because it’s not a low tone yet lower than the A in Ta.
