chinese looks most elegant n sophisticated
japanese looks most cute

This is biased.... the Korean and Japanese are computer font while the Chinese is stylized... if you want an accurate comparison... don't mix apples with oranges

Chinese: 你好我的名字是约瑟夫

the chinese one is also a computer font do you think is someone's hand writting??Even some of the words in japanese and chinese are the same just different font thats al.l i have all kinds fonts installed in my computer including that japanese font you are talking about. When i type chinese in japanese font,it still looks good .same for japanese character in chinese font because they both shares same indentical words.

At the request of my dear friend dalawapo, I'm putting up pictures of the Cham alphabet. Actually there are two, the Eastern (Vietnamese) version and the Western (Cambodian) version. There were no examples, so I just used the picture of the alphabets.

Eastern
Vowels

Chinese.

I go for the original and the best Chinese though I can understand the Korean alphabet. All the others including Arabic which I believe has Chinese influence are too small and hard to read.
