You know, like Cyrillic, or Inuit, or Tamil, or Chinese.

If you could write in one of these super cool writing systems, which would you choose?

A lot of people seem to write in Sanskrit & not even know it.

Off that list it's a toss up betwixt Cyrillic & Chinese.

Oh haha, I meant in general, not off of the list! All sorts of other writing systems I didn't put in.

I already pretty much know Cyrillic, though I don't really have any use for it since I don't know any of the languages that use it. I just learned it one day out of boredom. Of the ones I don't know I guess Japanese.

Chinese because it's so interesting!! :bigsmile:

For example: 人 <--- this character "human" represent a human figure with two legs spread wide open as though it is ready to take a dump! :bigsmile:

But I can already write in Chinese though. :quina:

I'm a big fan of how Persian/Farsi looks, so probably that based on aesthetics.

.من فکر می کنم فارسی زبان زیبا است
But I'd like to learn Japanese for practicality's sake.

Japanese, Chinese, and Korean Hangul are fun to write in.

I watched my friend write in the Devanagari script and I thought it was pretty cool.


Someday I want to learn how to write in Thai, Balinese, and possibly one of those ancient Philippine scripts like Baybayin.
