Your favourite alphabet

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).
