CLICK to enlarge The Algonquian syllabary, used
today mainly by the Cree tribe in Canada and employed in newspapers,
magazines, and church books, such as the Bible, hymnals and prayer
books. It has long been thought that
this script was the invention of a missionary, James Evans, in 1841. In reality, as inscriptions from pre-Roman
Spain and also on the Peterborough site in Ontario, Canada show, the script
is of very ancient origin and is due to the Basques. Barry Fell deciphered the Basque
inscriptions in Spain and Portugal in 1979 with the aid of the Algonquian
syllabary. The eminent scholar Imanol
Agiŕe has confirmed the decipherments. |
