History
The Alfur people in Maluku actually do not know the writing system and only know oral system and literature. The symbols in this script have similarities to the traditional symbols made by the Alfur people. But taking it and making it into a writing system is something new and unreferenced (Pattiiha, 2018).[2] In form, it can be immediately known that this script is not a practical and efficient script to use in communicating, contrary to how a script should be created.[1]
