[Wellington]

Good = Amharic, Aramaic, English, Korean, Egyptian Hieroglyphics

Bad = Mandarin Chinese, Sumerian, Morse Code, Braille

 

[Deleted member 35428]

Worst: Cyrillic

Best: Anything with Latin script. I think Arabic looks cool though.

 

[Deleted member 34160]

Looks like a written diarrea

 

[Rotmwrt]

Most writing systems look good to me. I have a special appreciation for those of Ancient Greek, Arabic, and Korean.

If I had to single out some ugly scripts: definitely Vietnamese, Thai and Khmer, because they're full of tiny marks that make them hard to read at low font sizes. Vietnamese uses the Latin script as a base, and the result is just:

Ugly: Finnish.
Long sentences because grammar is in the words, not seperate words like in English. Hard to read.

Good looking:
Chinese and Japanese.
Really compact sentences because those languages use characters for words.
Hard to learn to read but easy to read once you know the characters

 

[AbsolutelyBrutal]

Spanish looks bad ngl

What does look bad from spanish language? Accentuations?

idk it sounds bad compared to other languages

 

[Deleted member 17883]

English. Zero competition.

Anything else is shit tier

French is gay as fuck

Fair enough, but the thread was talking about the letters and words of the language

 

[Deleted member 35245]

Best: German
Worst: German

Hard to explain why

 

[SlutLiberationFront]

Funny that everyone missed this. Ancient Mongolian. It's read from top to bottom. Looks both terrible and really cool at the same time.

 

[unuser]

Aesthetic alphabets: Arabic, Japanese, Korean and Cyrillic.

Flags with things written in these alphabets get me wet basically.

Sounds cooler: German

Best: Portuguese

 

[andinocel]

Best looking - Mongolian script looks badass tbh. Cyrillic a close second

Worst looking- French. It looks like a lazily written Italian

I can't stand the sound of most Indian languages, Gujarati being the worst sounding of all. Seriously, it makes me almost sick when i hear it

[ControlledInsanity]

I think squiggle writing systems look nice and flowy. They just translate poorly to the grid of a digital screen. If you use Windows it probably just looks worse due to shitty font rendering.

 

[nice_try]

best looking: japanese
worst looking: arab

Also, shitting on the Finnish writing system is uncalled for. Finnish orthography is extremely straightforward, so that children can learn to read and write in only about a year:

They seem rare in transparent orthography nations such as Finland, which use highly regular spelling and few spelling rules beyond letter sounds, and most children read and write with impressive accuracy by the end of Year 1 (Holopainen et al., J Learn Disabil 34(5):401–413, 2001; Seymour et al., Br J Psychol 94:143–174, 2003; Spencer and Hanley, Br J Psychol 94(1):1–29, 2003; J Res Read 27(1):1–14, 2004). Orthographic complexity has strong and diverse impacts on reading, writing and academic development

Compare this to Chinese or Japanese, where every schoolchild spends twelve years learning to read and write, and the results are still subpar.

Yes, finnish is pronounced as it is written.
But the grammar makes it have long words.

English is way easier to read for me (I'm native Finnish speaker and learned English as a second language)

I suppose that makes sense. Shorter words have more distinct distinct shapes, which expedites speed-reading.

The phenomenon of "grammar in the words" is called agglutination, and it's present in a lot of languages. Japanese is an agglutinative language:

"Korondeshimaimashita". Say that ten times really fast.

It sounds weird, do you have dyslexia as it is harder for you to read in English than in your native one? Just asking...

 

[Caesercel]

Loled straight minute at this thread.

Anyway arabic looks aesthetic to me. Korean on the other hand is kind of ugly

 

[nagisa]

English is an easy language, Chinese is a hard language and Middle East languages have weird alphabet system

I might have. Never tested.
I said Finnish is harder to read because of long words, not easier

Yes, finnish is agglutinative too.
Syöt = you eat
Syönet = you might eat
Syötkö = will you eat?

Nouns too:
Talo = house
Talossa = in the house
Talossasi = in your house
Talossasiko = in your house?
Talossasikohan (I wonder if) in your house?

French is the most beautiful language, of course, it's sweet.

Bon temps 'mi!

 

[JuicyAnimeTitties]

best: Arabic or Georgian
worst: Greek maybe

Personal preference ofc. They can both all look good or bad depending on who is writing.
