The Vai are a Manden ethnic group that live mostly in Liberia with a small minority living in south-eastern Sierra Leone. The Vai are known for their indigenous syllabic writing system developed in the 1820s by Momolu Duwalu Bukele and other tribal elders. Over the course of the 19th century literacy in the writing system became widespread.
