Some scripts have better looking font fasces that could have been used (reffering to the Khmer one :P).

This is a hard pick for me. I like the look of them all. (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/icon_smile.gif) It's like comparing apples and oranges.

1. chinese
2. japanese

the korean script looks kinda primitive no offense (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/cool30.gif)

it looks very feminine, very round-ish (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/embarassedlaugh.gif) 2

i wonder if you made this thread just to share the message in different languages
b/c i think they are all the same (from reading the viet one and checking out the chinese one)
its a good message in the theme of universal humanity

Nope, that wasn't my intention... but the message is rather nice.. All of these apart from Burmese (i think) say:

Where did you get the Hmong script. I thought Hmong didn't really have a script writing??? Just wondering where you got it ?? I just want to see it, never have seen before.

http://www.omniglot.com/writing/hmong.htm

It's not a very old script, having been invented in 1959 by a Hmong illiterate farmer Shong Lue Yang who lived in Laos. He was assinated by government troops in 1971.

The rest is in the link.

Tagalog used to have it's own script too:
(IMG:http://www.omniglot.com/images/langsamples/smp_tagalog.gif)
which reads: Ang lahat ng tao'y isinilang na malaya at pantay-pantay sa karangalan at mga karapatan. Sila'y pinagkalooban ng katwiran at budhi at dapat magpalagayan ang isa't isa sa diwa ng pagkakapatiran.

obviously khmer. it looks so fuccking sexy. lol. but i thinki've said that a good 100 times on this forum.

1. khmer
2. thai
3. chinese
4. tibetan

(IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/icon_redface.gif)

i'd say lao looks sexy too but it's too curly looking IMO. lao can be written with more straight or rectangular looking characters, right? (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/icon_confused.gif) and korean writing is cool because it's practical and easy to learn.
