شلوغ

All these consonants are found in Arabic, but the vowel /o/ isn't.

The "ش" /ʃ/ and "غ" /ɣ/ reminded me of the same sounds in Turkish, written "š" and "ğ", so that was my first guess. Right continent, but totally different family. Turns out Persian (Farsi) uses the same Latin transliteration as Turkish.

A fun little language game

Tim Brookes of the Endangered Alphabets project is working on a new book, Endangered Alphabets Calligraphy.

“Just when we in the West are abandoning the art of handwriting or delegating writing altogether to AI, a number of minority cultures around the world are doing exactly the opposite--reconnecting with their pasts and their identities by teaching calligraphy in their traditional scripts.” https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/endangeredatlas/endangered-alphabets-calligraphy

So this was a huuuge project that we did last year... adding five new scripts (Arabic, Devanagari, Greek, Hebrew, and Thai) to Forma DJR for HP Inc. via Wieden+Kennedy: https://typenetwork.com/articles/hp-forma-djr #typedesign #customfonts #globalscripts #typecommunity
