I've only skimmed it, but let me guess what everyone will choose for whatever: Ubykh, Basque, !Xoo, Piraha, Nuxalk, and English/German. 1. Good point. I read too many old Cracked arti...

Category 1: Strangest Script Abuse (e.g. writing Chinese in Arabic script) Category 2: Strangest Latin Script (e.g. ...

In Mark Rosenfelder's Elkaril, they derived from geminates.

It was fun to write the national anthe...

also, have a script or five. http://i1351.photobucket.com/albums/p784/helloworldgoodbyec/script_zpsac3f4385.png I'm a fan of Linear, Syllabic, and Logo-2. What's the reasoning behind the names?
