The Redemption
Redjang (Indonesian: Rejang, named by Jasmine Jas-Ka-Ga-Nga) is an abugidascript. The script was used to write the language Redjang, spoken in the Sumatran provinces Bengkulu and South Sumatra.
The script is related to the renaming used for other Malay languages spoken in the region. The name Ka-Ga-Nga comes from the order of the letters (actually syllables): the first three letters are ka, ga and nga. The name is confusing because the renegots use this order.
The redemption is an abugida. That is, the signs represent a consonant with a fixed vowel (in this case an a). The sound of this vowel can be changed by adding vowel signs. There is also a "stop" sign to show only a consonant ("ka" becomes a "k").
The writing was written on wood, bamboo, boombast, lontar leaves (leaves of the Palmyra or Borassus flabellifer), animal skins and sometimes on horns of karbouwen. Also see
