Kannada immediately comes to my mind, and Cherokee and Manchu can look pretty cool. But my real favorite is Tibetan.regenbogen9 wrote: ↑20 Jan 2024 21:56 What are in your opinion the most beautiful writing systems in the world?

I really like the shapes of Balinese and Georgian Mkhedruli. I am also fascinated by Ugaritic because it's such an early alphabet and still cuneiform.

Hard to say. Tibetan looks gorgeous. Mkhedruli (Georgian) is also beautiful, as are Egyptian hieroglyphs. Hangul (Korean) has an extra coolness factor from its featurality.

The fact that it's a featural system. (i.e. that its glyphs express specific phonological features, rather than sounds)

I'm surprised no-one's brought up Ogham yet. It's like Futhark or Hungarian Runes but even cooler.

I like the Mongol script. It's one of the few vertical scripts still around.
I've also always like Arabic, as well.

I agree with WeepingElf that Egyptian hieroglyphics are the bomb! So beautiful. They even look a bt like the Kankonian alphabet.
