Kubusa script

Kubusa (Ulakisonian: Кубусе; Hajorian: [qʰʊːˈbusa] Khubusa) is an  writing system originated in the Nesionytan Islands. It is used throughout many parts of the Kagrash Sphere and Southern Nesionyta, specifically in religious documents. Kubusa is the constitutionally recognized official script of Hangala and one of the official scripts of Obanacia, both of which usually use the abugida to write the Hajorian language. It is also used in some regional languages in Ulakisonia, Dajankagru, and the Adrian Islands. The writing system, in nature, has 36 consonants and is largely, and was based on the and Kagrash scripts, although it is more identical to the latter.

The script was believed to be developed in Dajankagru, as it was were the oldest recorded documents written in Kubusa were found. However, it was later realized that it was developed shortly before the foundation of the Nesionytan Empire in the 1st century AD in what is now Ulakisonia. Kubusa was widely used for Nutaderrami texts, which is written primarily in the Nesionytan language, which was often used as the literary language of the entire archipelago. Languages either descended from or heavily influenced by Nesionytan were, for much of their history, written in the Kubusa script. However, during the 17th to 19th centuries, the script largely fell out of use and is now mostly concentrated in Obanacia and Hangala.

Name
Kubusa is the universal name of the script, generally referred to as such in every language spoken in the Nesionytan Archipelago. The origin of the term may have been the Sanskrit word kavitā (कविता), which translates to "poem". This was because much of the literature in the Nesionytan Islands were written in the Nesionytan language, specifically the Kubusa script. Several poets of other languages derived from Nesionytan have also widely used Kubusa for their poetry. The Sanskrit word, which the "Kubusa" name theoretically came from, was later corrupted heavily in pronunciation, and was eventually transformed into "kubusa". The formal name of Kubusa in the Nesionytan language is falsarik lipet, which translates to "principal script" in English.

The name in Hajorian, khubusa, is somewhat close to the universally accepted name, although with a different etymology from Sanskrit kavitā. The Hajorian name might have been derived from the Old Shimbori ghurbusai, which possibly meant "square", given the script's rectangular appearance. In modern-day Amintili, the script is generally known by the name "gubusi".

History
The Kubusa script originated from the Kagrash syllabary system used by Dajankagru, which was ultimately derived from the Brahmi script. Kagrash merchants have traded with the Indians for a long time. They have adopted the Brahmi script for communication and modifying it to create the Kagrash syllabary.
