MCU - Black Panther: Written Languages - A Self-Correction

[dewline]

Last night, I watched Black Panther. Worth the time, worth the money, and my thanks to everyone who had a hand in putting the movie together across the years.

That said, I need to own a mistake. Quoting myself from Facebook:

"More on design, specifically for written languages. I was thinking that I was looking at a variant on Tifinagh based on what I saw in the promo images and trailers, but apparently production design team leader Hannah Beachler went with Nsibidi."

Details in this linkage:

More on her work for Black Panther:

Apparently she's also a fan of the work of the late Zaha Hadid, among other architects. Hadid is a name relatively new to me, and I'm sad to learn of her work after her death.

Update 25 Feb 2018: Have a look at this. Other writing systems were also in usage here:
