These writing traditions, which are sometimes collectively referred to as Ajami, are discussed for single or multiple languages, with examples from all major linguistic phyla of Africa but one (Khoisan), and from all geographic areas of Africa (North, West, Central, East, and South Africa), as well as a paper on the Ajami heritage in the Americas. The papers analyze (ethno-) historical, literary, (socio-) linguistic, and in particular grammatological aspects of these previously understudied writing traditions and exemplify their range and scope, providing new data for the comparative study of writing systems, literacy in Africa, and the history of (Islam in) Africa. 410 0$aStudies in Semitic Languages and Linguistics$v71. 606 $aArabic language$xWriting 606 $aArabic alphabet 607 $aAfrica$xLanguages 615 0$aArabic language$xWriting. 615 0$aArabic alphabet. 676 $a492.7/11096 701 $aMumin$b Meikal$01657478 701 $aVersteegh$b Kees$f1961-$01657479 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957606503321 996 $aThe Arabic script in Africa$94010951 997 $aUNINA
