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.

This script was traditionally used by the Suwawa people [id] to write in the Suwawa language and Gorontalo language.

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).
