Nsibidi (also known as nsibiri, nchibiddi or nchibiddy) is an ancient ideographic writing system that is indigenous to what is now southeastern Nigeria. Early forms of nsibidi appeared on excavated pottery from the Calabar region dating between 400 and 1400 CE. Evidence pointing to nsibidi's logographic use comes from the practice of the people of Arochukwu, who wrote messages to be shared between villages on the bodies of their messengers.

- Die Ndsibidi-Schrift war eine Bilderschrift aus dem Osten Nigerias, die von der Ndsibidi-Geheimgesellschaft verwendet wurde. Diese Schrift erreichte nie das Stadium einer Silbenschrift und auch ihre Herkunft ist unklar.
- Los símbolos Nsibidi (también llamados Nsibiri, Nchibiddi o Nchibiddy) son un sistema ideográmico (aunque según algunas opiniones contendría elementos de un sistema logográfico o incluso de un silabario) tradicional de escritura del oeste de África. El nombre nsibidi hace alusión a una teórica sociedad secreta religiosa creadora del sistema de escritura.
- Nsibidi on ideogrammeihin perustuva kirjoitus joka kehittyi Länsi-Afrikassa. Kirjoitusta käytettiin efikkien, ibibiojen, annangien ja igbojen parissa. Voodoon harjoittajat Kuubassa ja Haitissa käyttävät kirjoitusta uskonnolisissa teksteissä.
- Nsibidi (also known as nsibiri, nchibiddi or nchibiddy) is an ancient ideographic writing system that is indigenous to what is now southeastern Nigeria. Early forms of nsibidi appeared on excavated pottery from the Calabar region dating between 400 and 1400 CE. Evidence pointing to nsibidi's logographic use comes from the practice of the people of Arochukwu, who wrote messages to be shared between villages on the bodies of their messengers. Although this is also possible with ideographic systems, there are nsibidi characters that are used to represent specific words, such as the character for 'nsibidi' recorded by Elphinstone Dayrell. Nsibidi's origins are unknown but according to J. K. Macgregor in 1909, it is traditionally said to have come from the Uguakima, Ebe or Uyanga tribes of the Igbo people, which legend says were taught the script by baboons, although one writer believes Macgregor had been misled by his informants. There are thousands of nsibidi characters with over 500 recorded. They were once taught in a school to children. Many of the signs deal with love affairs; those that deal with warfare and the sacred are kept secret. Nsibidi is used on wall designs, calabashes, metals (such as bronze), leaves, swords, and tattoos. It is primarily used by the Ekpe leopard secret society (also known as Ngbe or Egbo), which is found across Cross River among the Ekoi, Efik, Igbo people, and related peoples. Outside knowledge of nsibidi came in 1904 when T.D. Maxwell noticed the symbols. Before the British colonisation of the area, nsibidi was divided into a sacred version and a public, more decorative version which could be used by women. Aspects of colonisation such as Western education and Christian doctrine drastically reduced the number of nsibidi-literate people, leaving the secret society members as some of the last literate in the symbols. Nsibidi was and is still a means of transmitting Ekpe symbolism. Nsibidi was transported to Cuba and Haiti via the Atlantic slave trade, where it transformed into the anaforuana and veve symbols.
- Nsibidi – starożytny ideograficzny system pisma używany w zachodniej Afryce, głównie na terytorium dzisiejszej Nigerii. Obejmuje ponad tysiąc znaków. Znaki takie znajdowano na ceramice ze znalezisk archeologicznych. Symbole te również współcześnie często widuje się na domach, rytualnych maskach, tkaninach itd. Nie są związane z żadnym z mówionych języków, oznaczają mniej lub bardziej abstrakcyjne pojęcia, nadają się więc do komunikacji międzydplemiennej. Szablon:Przypisy
