I know this question sounds weird maybe but I hope someone gets me :D
I'm talking about visually pleasing alphabet. Which language has the "best looking" alphabet?
I vote for the Georgian alphabet. It looks like something from the past and from the future at the same time. Idk I just find it really fun to look at even though I don't understand it :D
Woooow it's so alien like and beautiful!! I don't have a favorite, but, I have to admit that I have a thing for asian alphabets.
Georgian is very elegant but I like Cyrillic. Having lived through part of the Cold War, there's just something exotic and seemingly esoteric about things that are worded in "Russian" that use many Latin-looking letters but are completely unrecognizable as words.
There are so many different alphabets

Love the website, thanks! I really like Korean's Hangul. I've heard from friends that it is really easy to learn and they also said the shape of the characters are based on how the mouth looks, very smart!

어 = aw as in dawn (eng), but often gets pronounced like o as in olvida (sp)

I don't have a favorite, but Chinese is the most complicated/interesting imo:
漢字很漂亮。
Thai is also quite beautiful:
การเขียนภาษาไทยสวยมาก

English alphabet for me. Just don't have time to study other alphabet for other purposes except if I'm going to do it for work.

I definitely think it's fun to learn an alphabet with different characters than your native one , I enjoyed learning Arabic script

It's fun and I love the novelty of being able to read the words even if I don't know what they mean most of the time :)

Is there a keypad for this? Or how do you type languages that come shapes?
If you have a Macbook, it's possible to add these languages, then you'll be able to input these languages. I don't know about @leosmith input methods, but I use hanyu pinyin to generate Chinese characters, and for Thai, you can show a Thai keyboard on Macs as well.

Yes I can read anewspaper aloud ... Whether or not I know the words is another matter entirely ,:grin::rolling_on_the_floor_laughing::joy::sweat_smile:
