Talk:Bassa people (Liberia)

1900
I think this alphabet was REintroduced in 1900 and not invented in 1900 but I'm not sure. See http://www.omniglot.com/writing/bassa.htm — Preceding unsigned comment added by Claque (talk • contribs)

History
One of the references used for the first part of the History section is dubious or unreliable. The relevant text seems to be:
 * In historico-geographic terms, the Bassa people have Kemetic origins, having migrated from Egypt following the collapse of the Adbassa Empire in the 6th century to Bassa-ri, Land of the Bassa, which include portions of modern-day Senegal, Congo, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Togo, and Cameroon. [...] The Bassa people live in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and Cameroon. They are found in the central region of the Grand Bassa in Liberia, Rivercess, and Montserrado counties, and in Cameroon they are found in the Littoral, Central, and South provinces. Some Bassa are found in Togo and are called Basari; in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, they are called the Bassa Mpoku.

While some parts are plausible, some parts are extremely vague or unplausible. It sounds like the authors got confused with all the various people that happens to be homonyms or have Bassa in their names. --Moyogo/ (talk) 14:57, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
