Bonda script, also known as the Suwawa script or Suwawa-Gorontalo script, is a writing system originating from the Suwawa region in the province of Gorontalo, Indonesia.2
This script was traditionally used by the Suwawa people to write in the Suwawa language and Gorontalo language.3
The Bonda script is no longer in active use and is now only known by some members of the inland Suwawa community (Al-Idrus, 2019).1

Similarity
The Bonda script shows remarkable similarity with pigpen cypher, making it's alleged Sumawa origins highly suspect, although no Indonesian media seems to have noticed.
