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. icon_smile.gif It's like comparing apples and oranges.

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

I got it from omniglot.

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. confused.gif confused.gif confused.gif

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:

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

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? icon_confused.gif and korean writing is cool because it's practical and easy to learn.

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


Consonants


Numerals


Western
Vowels


Consonants


Numerals

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.
