The most beautiful 'alphabet' in the world
Thousands of different languages are used throughout the world. Some of them have unique alphabets. When these are used, not only spelling, vowel manipulation, but even the shape of the letters change. Most of these are languages and alphabets that have broken off from some mother tongue that has passed down from the past.
Different techniques are used in writing letters in a language. When writing sentences belonging to many languages of the world, the method is to write from left to right, but there are languages that write from right to left as well as from top to bottom. A minority of these languages have a writing system with specific and unique forms. This post is about some of the alphabets that have the most beautiful and unique forms among the alphabets of the world's languages.
Burmese alphabet
The Burmese or Myanmar alphabet, consisting of curved shapes that should be drawn clockwise, is indeed a very beautiful one. The reason for this alphabet being curved is that in the past there was a high probability that it would be torn when writing straight strokes or writing on the palms of the hands. Curved shapes do not have such tearing.
The Myanmar language is considered to be threatened to some extent. The reason for this is that it is limited to Myanmar and the current use of Hindi and Latin script is seen in Myanmar. This is often used in present-day Myanmar for literary purposes.
The Balinese alphabet
Made in accordance with the writing system known as 'Abugida', this alphabet belonging to the island of Bali in Indonesia is also a special one. As in the Sinhala language, the letters are sounded by a combination of vowels and consonants. The Balinese people call this alphabet 'Aksara Bali' or 'Hanakaraka'. It is a derivative of the Brahmi script and is used to write Balinese, Old Javanese and Sanskrit.
Today, the Balinese are mostly accustomed to using Latin letters to write their language, but still use these letters for things like religious teachings. In earlier times this alphabet was taught only to select religious people and was considered sacred.
Sinhala alphabet
The Sinhala language and alphabet is the language spoken by the Sinhalese who have made Sri Lanka their homeland. Considered to be a very widespread and mature language, 38 vowels are used in common usage, but more than 50 are contained in the language. Known as an endangered language, it is still well used as the main official language of Sri Lanka. The Sinhala alphabet is also made using the 'Abugida' method
Erzu Shaba alphabet
Another unusual alphabet is the Erzu Shaba alphabet used in Tibet. Here images are used instead of letters. This is usually found in religious texts. The 'rupa', which is also used on ceremonial occasions, was painted in the past with a brush made of bamboo and animal fur. Another specialty here is that the meaning of what is read changes depending on the color used. This is called a symbolic language, not a vocalized language.
This language used by the Ersu tribe, a small group of people in Tibet, is symbolic but can be said very accurately. Currently, there are only ten people in the world who can recite this well.
Georgian alphabet
Located between Turkey and Russia, Georgia also has its own language and alphabet. Over time, due to Russian influence and other political issues, the Cyrillic alphabet is becoming popular here, and the number of Georgians using the Georgian language is gradually decreasing. This is a visual alphabet made up of a combination of the Arabic alphabet and the circular letters found in languages broken from the Brahmi script such as Sinhala.
Java alphabet
The Javanese alphabet is closely related to the Balinese alphabet. This is also a broken Brahmi alphabet. The characters of the Javanese alphabet are black and are used to write several languages used in Indonesia, such as Sanskrit, in addition to the Javanese language. The Balinese alphabet is used to write the Old Javanese language and the Javanese alphabet is used to write the modern Javanese language. Currently, the Latin alphabet (English letters) is becoming popular for writing all languages in Indonesia, but the government is encouraging the teaching of this language and alphabet in schools in order to preserve it from extinction, and things such as name boards in public places have been completed using this alphabet. .
Tagalog alphabet
The Tagalog language and alphabet, which originated from Indo-European languages and scripts, was the predominant language and alphabet used in the Philippines until the Spaniards conquered it. In ancient times this was written from the bottom up and with European influences evolved from left to right writing. Later, Spanish was made the official language of the Philippines, and this bus fell on deaf ears. In 1973 AD, Filipino was named as the official language of the Philippines, a mixture of traditional Filipino and Spanish languages, and written in Latin script. The Tagalog language is still widely spoken among the Filipino people, but it has been identified as a language that is gradually dying out.
Mongolian alphabet
Mongolian is a language with a vertical, top-down alphabet with decorative characters. When writing a sentence, vowels and consonants are written separately (as opposed to adding parts to consonants as in the Sinhalese alphabet), this makes it look like something written in Arabic is written vertically. It is said to be one of the most beautifully scripted languages.
