Beautiful, isn't it?

This

Don't say that abortion of a language looks good, let alone beautiful

it looks lovely imo

Armenian

/R/EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

How about our awesome manga language?

Wow, something that's actually nice. Good job, Canada.

Thanks, I'm hooked on its A E S T H E T I C S
#notallcanadians

Mongolian looks pretty neat

Irish written in its own seanchló script looks great imo

>literally designed to be as aesthetic as possible over being easy to read/write

...

It really does, I wish there was a revival of it.

Of the script or the language?

The language isn't dead, but the script is.
You'll see on St signs and old books, nothing other than that.

looks like literal alien script

Yea, I meant the script. I know the language is still spoken, but I guess it wouldn't make sense or be practical to revive the old script.

Looks horrible.

This is the only picture I could find of someone actually using it.

I know that it was how my grandmother was taught how to write in school, but then cursive became common and eventually fell out of use.

Georgian looks like elvish.

Old Church Slavonic

>Japanese as display language
Weeb

this. I love the way Hebrew sounds as well.

Thai alphabet looks pretty aesthetic, the language itself sounds and looks like cancer when transliterated though.

>Umulupqumu umqlupumumup umpquumumpu

You realize it is not actually Latin do you?

anything written with tengwar

I'm really tempted to learn how to write english with it, most people evidently use a system of 1 to 1 alphabet character correspondence but I think it would be a lot cooler to write it phonetically, it would be more original and legitimate that way.

No shit Tomaš

I love the way Georgian looks.

can you post a pic of the language tho

>An obvious approach to writing in Elvish is to map English vowels directly to their tehtar counterparts. The disadvantage of this method is that it ties the Tengwar spelling of a word to the English spelling. The Elvish system then inherits all of the complexities and inconsistencies of English writing. A better approach in my opinion is to represent the English vowel sounds phonetically by assigning a specific tehtar representation to each English sound.

I think I'll try and do this

bottom kek

Original Cyrillic. Especially ligatures.

...

jew lover

kinda surprised nobody said Japanese yet

language of kawaii

The Georgian script

forgot pic

That looks pretty cool

T H I S

blackletter

Japanese print

Are you serious?

That's actually not that long ago. A lot of countries adopted new alphabets in the last 20 years so reviving the old Irish script doesn't seem impossible. Idk how likely it is but I hope it happens tbqh.

Is it still used by the church? I think old Church Slavonic is used for mass but idk about the script.

How do they learn it then? Sure. There are no good translations and nobody wills to touch canonical texts. These books are in every Orthodox shop here.

bump.

Armenian

Tangut, which was an ancient language similar to Tibetan wiped out by the Mongols.

stop this meme, the only cute languages are english and roman languages except spanish, the rest is complete shit

Ancient Tibetan seal script

>English
>cute

If you take a picture of a block of text any language will look like that

>come from Armenian family
>they never spoke a word of Armenian to me

End this please

Noice
Never seen anything like that

I love stylized Arabic script (calligraphy too, but that's kinda departing from the topic at hand)

This one is scary, not even joking...

Börk börk

Bump

Arabic probably has the most range. You can literally draw pictures using it.

this

especially the font they use on their planes

Khmer

Old Cyrillic does have nice aesthetics

Looks kind of similar to Amharic

get the fuck out

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

literally how?

I like how neat and geometric hebrew and japanese look written down. There's something pleasing about how each character is the same size and they're all equally spaced out.

You should get out, i like Hebrew simply because it looks good.

And wew, I don't think there is any Jew in my country.

True 2bh

Looks like arabic had sex with elven

Bad goyim.
Don't forget you are our new allies.

I feel like I'm gonna cop hate for this.
But I love written Vietnamese. I hate how it sounds. By I think the complexities of the orthography to try and keep up with the complexities in phonology.
And cooler still that you can see the influence of European languages where "ph" will make an /f/ sound

This looks like how I imagine alien writing would be.

Tbh that tablet doesn't do glagolic script any justice.
I've seen modern Croatian written in that script by an autist (no sane person would bother learning a dead script), and it actually looked aesthetic af when done neatly.

I'm learning Vietnamese, and dear lord, I wish it were written a different way.

Coptic

forgot pic

Burmese

Korean

I love how futuristic it looks.

Traditional Javanese script

Deseret

Hiragana is probably my favorite script out of all in this thread. Don't care if it makes me a weeb because it's aesthetic as fuck.

Handwritten Oriya/Odia

Aesthetic af

look like moon runes but actually pretty easy

Inuit?

>complexities in phonology
wew, i didn't think that my language has complex phonology.
There are only three ways
>Latin
What is it now
>chữ nôm
Basically Chinese script made 5x more complex.

Different Tibetan writing styles

NEW MOONRUNES PLS

I've been to that page and I would take chữ vòng over Latin any day of the week.

Sinhala

Looks disgusting.

Looks like those unown pokemon from pokemon gold/silver

It's a pretty common font.
