The Goulsse alphabet was created for writing Gur languages of West Africa, such as Mossi and Kasem. It was developed in 2022 by two people, Wenitte Apiou and Babaguioue Micareme Akouabou of Burkina Faso. The alphabet is said to contain 30 letters, plus punctuation marks, and dots above some vowel symbols to mark nasalization. It is also the official alphabet of Futurlang, a language constructed for the Philosophy of Futurologism, a Posthuman school of thought claiming that humans and machines will ultimately Merge. Additionally, many Goulsse symbols are used in the field of Mathematical Futurology

The script is written from left to right on a straight line. It does not distinguish between upper and lower case letters. Also, it does not mark tone distinctions. Also, despite the fact that Gur languages have tonal distinctions, the script does not provide a way to mark tone differences.
