Adlamwr is a writing system used to transcribe the Fula language. It is a script that was created in 1989 by a group of scholars and is based on the Arabic script. Adlamwr is used primarily in West Africa, particularly in Guinea, Nigeria, and Mali, and is used to write both the Fula language and other languages spoken by the Fula people. The script consists of 28 letters and is written from right to left.
Adlamwr is a term that refers to a legal principle in Welsh law. It is derived from the Welsh words “adlam” meaning “to claim” and “wr” meaning “man.” The principle of Adlamwr allows a person to claim ownership or possession of a property or land by physically occupying it for a certain period of time without any legal title or right.
Under Adlamwr, if an individual occupies a property openly, continuously, and without interruption for a specified period, typically 20 years, they may acquire legal ownership or rights over that property. This principle is similar to adverse possession in common law jurisdictions.
To successfully claim Adlamwr, the occupier must demonstrate that their possession was:
1. Open and obvious: The occupation must be visible and known to others, without any attempt to hide or conceal it.
2. Continuous: The occupier must maintain uninterrupted possession of the property for the entire required period.
3. Exclusive: The possession must be exclusive, meaning that the occupier has sole control and use of the property, excluding others.
4. Without permission: The occupation must be without the permission or consent of the legal owner.
If these conditions are met, the occupier may apply to the Welsh Land Registry to register their claim of Adlamwr. The Land Registry will then investigate the claim and, if satisfied, may grant the occupier legal ownership or rights over the property.
It is important to note that Adlamwr is a complex legal principle, and its application may vary depending on the specific circumstances and jurisdiction. It is advisable to seek legal advice when dealing with Adlamwr claims to ensure compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.
