Writing systems - website

[trochee]

This website provides a guide to over 160 different alphabets, syllabaries and other writing systems. It also contains details of many of the languages written with those writing systems and links to a wide range of language-related resources, such as fonts, online dictionaries and online language courses.

Y'all who know me know I think this stuff is great. I love the "alternative writing systems" page.

Omniglot is pretty damned cool. One of my dorkier hobbies is to try to write texts in one language using a historically unrelated writing system, e.g., Modern Greek written with Yiddish orthography. Omniglot makes even more esoteric combinations possible.
