Meroitic script

The Meroitic script was made to write the Meroitic language around the beginning of the Meroitic period (300 BC). It was used in the kingdom of Meroe, in modern-day Sudan.
Meroitic script is made up of two types of scripts: Meroitic cursive and Meroitic hieroglyphics. Meroitic cursive was the most commonly used form. Around 90% of inscriptions (writings) of the Meroitic language used it. The earliest known use of Meroitic cursive was at least a century before the earliest known use of Meroitic hieroglyphics. The last known Meroitic inscription also uses Meroitic cursive, and is said to have been written around AD 410/450.
