Love this one - almost completely variations on circles!

Took me a bit to narrow it down, but I got there.

This feels ... weird. I was just working today on slides for a lecture on the writing systems of India (and related scripts in Nepal, Indonesia, and elsewhere that are related to them).

There are so many!

One of the more persistently curly scripts of India - I really like this one!

அகந்தை

Scripts like this work on very different principles to the alphabets I know from Europe. Once I find the right script based on character shapes, it's fun to work out exactly how the pronunciation maps to the written form.

As usual, Omniglot carried the day for me.

First this menu:
