The Ashanti used Adinkra in their daily lives. Adinkra Nkyea is a writing system based on the Adinkra symbols.[8][unreliable source?] The Akan language and its dialects use the Adinkra Nkyea writing system. The majority of Adinkra Nkyea is derived from the original Adinkra symbols. Adinkra Nkyea contains some 39 characters, 10 numerals, and three punctuation marks.[citation needed]
