Ikara is the Ngwa writing system—crafted by Ngwa people, for Ngwa people. Inspired by our mural and musical traditions, it gives form to the vibrant tones and consonants of okwu Ngwa.
The tones , , constitute the core of the writing system.
Consonants like , , link with tone to form the backbone of words.
