Welcome to Gaia! ::

I love love love the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems. They're so pretty. It's one of the reasons why I enjoy learning those languages so much.

(btw, I think you should use the term "writing system" instead of alphabet, since for example, Chinese characters aren't alphabets at all)

I don't think the hassle of changing a language's script would be worth the very little improvement (if any) it would cause. I mean, what's in being able to 'read' another language in which you can neither understand much nor pronounce properly? Familiarity factor, is all that comes to my mind--feeling less foreign to another culture (and even that no longer applies really; take a real-world example--there's been no real err...Russophobia, per se, since that's the closest legit word I can find lol, since the end of the Cold War, so it's not like seeing unfamiliar Cyrillic letters is going to freak you out or invoke some sort of unwanted feeling). Personally, taking the effort to learn another script (especially ones like Hanzi (?)) would do a better job at fostering cordial relationships internationally (on both an individual and (inter)national scale).

On that note, however, I don't think it'd be particularly useful or beneficial for every language/most languages to have its/their own script...not trying to sound ignorant here, but what's the plus side to a language having its own script if the language's speakers are either small in number or highly illiterate? To simplify my view, really, just economize lol. (Many Native American languages use the Latin Script; Kachchi uses the Gujarati Script; many Central Asian countries use the Cyrillic alphabet)

And, my favorite scripts in order are: the Gujarati script, the Devanagari/Sanskrit script, the Latin alphabet, and the Perso-Arabic script.

I think Alphabet changing is not a solution and I think changing Persian alphabet to Avestan would be cool ...but by this it'll become a lil hard toread the great poets' works.

Among Alphabets/Writing systems I like Armenian ( not the one used in computers),Georgian, Japanese and Greek!

Well I do really love the asian writing systems, but for example, Chinese's writing system turns me off from wanting to learn it :C If it had an alphabet-like system I think it would be much easier to learn.

I don't think that every language should have the same alphabet/characters. But I just wish that those that don't have phonetic systems would have them, simply because it would be easier to learn.

As I said in the first post there are many languages that have changed their alphabet ,like Turkish and Azeri . they changed it from Perso-Arabic to Latin.
and even before that, they and Persian had used Avestan Alphabet and were changed to Arabic Alphabet after Arab conquer.


PS: Baybayin writing system is cool too!

I think Burmese and Arabic are trippy alphabets.

Hehehe...I think reading Kanji is impossible....

Polish (And of course other languages which have had added some letters to Latin) did this because they were no equivalent for those letters in English ... (Just like how in languages like: Persian,Old Turkish,Urdu,Uyghurche,etc have added letters to Arabic alphabet)..so it's not craziness its wisdom...
