Abstract
Dimension-wise, this 1-page work is larger in size (30 inches long by 17 inches wide) than any other item we digitized. It is used as instructional material for teaching the Yoruba alphabet in Ajami script to students. This poster-sized work uses three languages: Arabic, English and Yoruba. The authors use the standard Mashriqi style of writing and begin with Basmalah at the top-center of the poster. The material describes the Arabic vowels and then illustrates those that the Yoruba scholars have developed in Yoruba Anjemi.
