Osmanya

Alphabet created in the 1920s by Somalia's Osman Yusuf Kenadid, named after his brother. Somali had no standard script until Latin was officially adopted in 1972. Since the Somali Civil War (1991–), this script has been rediscovered as a symbol of Somali national identity in the nation-rebuilding process. Unicode-encoded and taught in diaspora communities as cultural preservation.
