If you’re a language geek, you can probably have hours of fun browsing AncientScripts.com, which is full of alphabets, ancient and modern, organized according to geography and language families. Personal favorites include Malayalam, which looks how it sounds, and Cherokee, a syllabary invented by Sequoia, who was illiterate but grasped the concept of an alphabet while working in a printer’s shop.
