Communication is an important aspect of the lives of humans. Ever since humans have learnt to communicate through writing, the world of scripting has evolved like no other. Every hook and corner of the world has its own unique script, and that is what makes communicating through written texts and symbols even more prestigious. There was a time when the caveman learnt to draw symbols and write words and ever since then, we humans have got intoxicated by the beautiful magic of scripting. Today, we have come up with an interesting listicle blog that puts forward the top traditional scripts of the world. It is important to note that while we have tried our best to handpick the maximum number of traditional scripts, the list is not exhaustive, and there are many more scripts that are not mentioned in the list but deserve equal attention and applause.
Now that we have explained the gist of the blog, it is time for us to introduce you with the very first one in the list.
Devanagari
The very first one in the list is the Devanagari script. This script is made to use to write not one but a myriad of languages, including Marathi, Hindi, Nepali, and Sanskrit. For thousands of years, the characters and ligatures of the script have evolved, thereby demonstrating the cultural diversity of South Asia.
Arabic Script
The Arabic Script from the Middle east made up to our list. This script is unique as it is not only used for the Arabic language but is also used to express various languages of the North Africa and the Middle East. The script is popular for its lines and curves. The calligraphy has been made to transcribe the Holy Quran. The script is actually symbolic to the cultural identity of the Arab world.
Hangul
The third one in our list is the Hangul script from Korea. This script has been created in the 15th century by King Sejong the Great to enhance literacy among the Korean masses. The phonetic alphabet of the script is enough to make the script one of the most efficient writing systems across the globe.
Kanji
The Kanji is the Japanese script but is actually derived from the Chinese characters. It is one of the three scripts that are made to use in the Japanese writing system. Every character of the script holds different and multiple interpretations. Moreover, every character can be easily read in more than one ways. The script is symbolic of the historical ties of Japan with China.
