N'Ko Alphabet Day is celebrated on April 14th each year by Mande speakers. The N'Ko alphabet is a script devised by Solomana Kante in 1949 for the Mande languages of West Africa. It is used primarily by speakers of Mande languages such as Bambara, Mandinka, Dyula, and others.
N'Ko Alphabet Day commemorates the creation and adoption of the N'Ko script, which has played a significant role in promoting literacy and cultural identity among Mande-speaking communities. The adoption of the N'Ko script has helped preserve and revitalize indigenous languages and traditions, empowering speakers to communicate in their own language and express their cultural heritage.
On N'Ko Alphabet Day, various events and activities are organized to celebrate the significance of the N'Ko script, including educational workshops, cultural exhibitions, and community gatherings. The day provides an opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of linguistic diversity and the role of indigenous scripts in preserving and promoting indigenous cultures and identities.
