Abstract
In the paper, we analyze the distribution of complexities in the Vai script,
an indigenous syllabic writing system from Liberia. It is found that the uniformity
hypothesis for complexities fails for this script. The models using Poisson distribution
for the number of components and hyper-Poisson distribution for connections provide
good fits in the case of the Vai script.
