About Dugassa
Dugassa ( Anupalnin Dugassa) is an archaic language contemporary to early Naduta. Relatively few samples of the language remain, but extant inscriptions prove definitively that the Wibbayuric script is a direct descendant of Naduta script. Dugassa shares characteristics with both Wibbayuric and Katug-Naduta, but its exact classification remains unknown.
