Why do none of the native southern african languages have their own alphabet?

I was speaking specifically about the wheel

You mean to tell me that multiple civilizations across continents could not conceive something as basic as a wheel?

 

[The Voice]

You only need an alphabet if you can read and write.

Yes, something as basic as a wheel barrow was only invented in 230AD.

As far as the wheel goes remember we are going back to a time where the vast majority of the world's population were nomads and/or hunter gatherers.

The Chinese could read and write but they don't have an Alphabet.

Interesting because it is thought provoking. Look fukhed, nobody is forcing you to contribute to this topic, if you don't like it or me then move on.

The lady doth protest too much. Own your narrative. Like lord Hoat, you seem prickly...

Don't go calling others idiots, while you can't even answer basic questions, and make claims about how your ancestors were writing over 5000 years ago.

It’s sad to think that the ancestors were so advanced and their descendants are like the OP.

Yeah, can't believe him and I are so divergent in ability, despite having the same ancestors.
