I would definitely side with the Greek alphabet myself, followed closely by Egyptian hieroglyphs and Chinese pictorial writing... such beauties!

I was tempted to cite Cyrillic, but in the end it was nudged out of the top three. I work with some Latvians, and we've never discussed the Cyrillic alphabet. Shocking and blasphemous, I know, but it's true. We have discussed Dostoyevsky, and Vitalijs is going to bring me back a Dostoyevsky in Russian from Latvia when he returns on January 6th.

Gotta go with Cyrillic as well, but I like the look of Cherokee and Tengwar too. Klingon looks as harsh as it sounds :)

Cyrillic. The Vostok synth is weak for the money, but I'd like one just for the aesthetics of it (it uses a stylised Cyrillic font).
