The Adlam script is a script used to write Fulani. The name Adlam is an acronym derived from the first four letters of the alphabet (A, D, L, M), standing for Alkule Dandayษ—e Leรฑol Mulugol (๐žค€๐žคค๐žคณ๐žคต๐žคค๐žคซ ๐žค๐žคข๐žคฒ๐žคฃ๐žคข๐žคด๐žคฏ๐žคซ ๐žค‚๐žคซ๐žคป๐žคฎ๐žคค ๐žคƒ๐žคต๐žคค๐žคต๐žคบ๐žคฎ๐žคค), which means "the alphabet that protects the peoples from vanishing". It is one of many indigenous scripts developed for specific languages in West Africa.

Adlam is supported in Google's Android and Chrome operating systems. There are also Android apps to send SMS in Adlam and to learn the alphabet. On computers running Microsoft Windows, the Adlam script was natively supported beginning with Windows 10 version 1903, which was released in May 2019. On macOS, the Adlam script was natively supported beginning with Ventura in 2022.
