Writing systems are more than just tools for communication—they’re windows into culture, history, and human creativity. Across the globe, people have developed remarkably diverse scripts to record their languages. Here are some of the most captivating ones:

1. Hangul (Korea)
Created in the 15th century, Hangul is one of the most logical writing systems in the world. Each character reflects the shape your mouth makes when producing the sound—making it intuitive and efficient.

2. Arabic Script
Elegant and flowing, Arabic is written from right to left. Letters change form based on their position in a word, giving the script a beautiful, calligraphic quality.

3. Devanagari (India)
Used for Hindi, Sanskrit, and several other languages, Devanagari is known for its distinctive horizontal line that connects letters. Its roots stretch back centuries, and it carries deep spiritual and literary significance.

4. Chinese Characters
One of the oldest continuous writing systems, Chinese uses thousands of logographic characters. Each symbol can represent a word, idea, or sound, blending art and meaning in every stroke.

5. Ge’ez (Ethiopia)
Also called Ethiopic, Ge’ez is used in Ethiopia and Eritrea. It’s one of the few writing systems where each character represents a consonant-vowel combination—rich in history and unique in form.

Studying how people write helps us understand how they think, live, and express themselves. Each script is a story in itself—a record of culture, innovation, and identity.
