POLL: Most beautiful written language?

[Schadenfreude]

I think Arabic's absolutely beautiful, and I hope one day to be able to learn the language!

I can't possibly put in all the choices for the written alphabet around the world, so I'm going to put in an "other" option. Then you can expound . . ..

 

[Rage187]

old hebrew.

 

[Orsorum]

Japanese, by far. IMO Latin or French are the most beautiful spoken languages.

ATOTese. jk

persian is prettier than arabic imho. but then again they're very similar.

 

[IEatChildren]

How about gibberish?

Or Tolkien Elvish is a very nice looking written language (Yes, there is such a thing, it's not a joke)

I love the way Russian cryllic looks.

 

[JonTheBaller]

I vote for jibber-jabber to be added to the list.

Yep. I took Russian mainly for that reason. I needed a language in college, and the other options sucked.

how did korean get in there. its like chinese written with a T square. 😉

 

[Miramonti]

arabic is to the written what french is to the spoken, awesome.

 

[EvilYoda]

methinks you should provide writing samples for the uninformed. As for me, regardless of what I might really think, I'll just chalk one up for Chinese since I'm...Chinese. 🙂

Meh, I like it a whole lot more than most of the languages I've seen.

 

[AndyHui]

Traditional Chinese (not Simplified Chinese).

 

[geckojohn]

Italian

 

[Piano Man]

arabic

 

[grrl]

I'd say Chinese calligraphy or one of the cursive scripts like Khmer, Arabic or Thai.

And, yes, how did Korean get on the list?

 

[DaWhim]

what the heck..........
where is my choice? BINARY!!!

 

[SuperTool]

Russian. It's a very elaborate and descriptive language with many variations on words in various prefixes and endings.
