Ajami: The Kanji of Africa YouTube video by From Nothing

I'm posting this one too just because I enjoyed it and the idea of a hidden literary cannon of scribed books is a romantic notion for anyone working in indie print media.

The si5 site is permanently down. I can find fragments of si5 but nothing substantial. Symbol font has a singular page, and I can't find ASL-phabet or ASLJot at all other than references. These aren't the only ones, gone or barely there.

I was researching signing systems for a Tumblr post & it made me feel so strongly the danger to a writing system being a) spearheaded by only one or two people b) having a writing systems materials only up on one or two sites.

I recently watched a #Arte documentary exploring whether all humans once shared a single ancestral #language. I decided to recap its key points as a follow-up to my series on the origins of languages and #WritingSystems from last year:

Do we all agree that there's an implicit badass ranking amongst letters? And that these are remarkably similar across alphabet systems?

Roman
1. Z
2. X
3. Q

Arabic
1. ق
2. ظ
3. ك

Purely here to ruffle feathers on this #SnowDay

Dear Duolingo: How did writing systems evolve? Learn how writing systems around the world evolved, including which ones are related and some that were invented recently!

Fantastic article about different written scripts around the world and their history! I knew a lot of it already from research I did for a novel I’ve been working on, but some of it was new, and it’s one of the best overviews I’ve come across.

Wow! And is that the Ge'ez script in the exhibit description? I'm not familiar with Ethiopian writing systems but excited/encouraged to see what looks like text in the indigenous language! #museums #lingsky #Ethiopia #Lucy #WritingSystems #LanguagePolicy

Unraveling the Secrets of the Inca Empire For hundreds of years, Andean people recorded information by tying knots into long cords. Will we ever be able to read them?

Enjoy an incredibly fascinating piece on the ongoing attempts to decipher the khipus - the lost Inca (proto) writing system based on knots tied on cords.

First writing session in a month. Thought I’d be rusty.

Turns out I was just holding pressure.

STRIDE didn’t punish the pause. It held the space.

I came back when I was ready.

Still surprised how good it feels.
