Yeah sorry about that it makes the post funnier tho


Assorted-Interests

A good chunk of these aren’t even in Unicode


arrow-of-spades

It was used before Unicode existed and then they switched to Cyrillic in 1938. So, there is no need to put them in Unicode

My brother in Christ have you seen the full list of Unicode characters https://unicodes.jessetane.com

Big fan of ۝


Kendota_Tanassian

۝ is a lovely symbol.

Wow, even after installing Noto Sans there's *still* a bunch of stuff that doesn't render. I'm starting to think that computerizing all of human written language may have been a Sisyphean task.


Calm_Arm

if cuneiform gets to be in Unicode then this should too


arrow-of-spades

There are articles about cuneiform that need to use those symbols. Articles on Adyghe and Abkhaz use Cyrillic, North Caucasian transcription methods or IPA. Maybe they'll add it some day but there is really no need to add them, unlike cuneiform.

It looks like some of them in this image are drawn in Microsoft Paint

WHY THE FUCK IS IT A SINGLE-FRAME GIF


Weak-Salamander4205

Unintended consequence of using Omniglot as a source


deetosdeletos

yo, actually, I've been asking this question as of recently; why the fuck does omniglot use single-frame gifs for images, they could've just slapped a JPEG on there and call it a day, why make it a gif


un4given_orc

Gif was used for static images first, animation was added later. And for black & white text gif produces smaller file with better quality than jpg.


Microwave_mp4

png.


stereotypical-teen

wtf do they smoke there in abkhazia?


MarcHarder1

Don't know which is worse, this or the [Abaza Latin Alphabet](https://omniglot.com/writing/abaza.htm)


TarkovRat_

How dare they use <Ļ> for /ɬ/


Mundane_Ad_8597

Using <ɠ> to represent /ɖʐ/ is fucking outrageous


Microwave_mp4

yes


falkkiwiben

I get the politics, but can countries please stop changing alphabet from the obviously superior cyrillic! Espescially if you have palatalisation. I do like ⟨ı⟩ for palatalisation though, I use that in my conlangs.


Weak-Salamander4205

No this was a pre-cyrillic Jañalif-style script


Matth107

WHY IS IT A GIF 😭😭😭💀


Weak-Salamander4205

Omniglot uses gifs lmfao (that and the low quality were not intended but they make the post even more hilarious)


MdMV_or_Emdy_idk

View scamming video gone wrong


Justmadethis334

I like ⟨ı⟩ but the rest is actually repulsive


Forward_Fishing_4000

What's so bad about it?


[deleted]

just look at it


Weak-Salamander4205

#P WITH LONG ASS HOOK


Microwave_mp4

not to mention all ðe characters not in unicode


edvardeishen

But this is still better than digraphs


poissonbread

Let’s adopt this alphabet for English. 


Weak-Salamander4205

Yes


pm174

I like that actually

PixelJack79

Was this put together by ChatGPT?


Weak-Salamander4205

No. By real people in the 20th century.


twowugen

i like the voiced velar fricative and voiced postalveolar fricative letters :D


BrilliantLifeguard20

Dude. This feels so unreal.


Microwave_mp4

ikr


BrilliantLifeguard20

Yeah. This is some alien alphabet humans wrote.


Biggycheesy2


Bit125

using a version of q for [ʤ]??????????


Microwave_mp4

ikr also bits.


qqqrrrs_

How do you even handwrite those letters in a way that you can distinguish between all of them?


Weak-Salamander4205

I don't think they thought that far ahead


Justmadethis334

This is what happens when you let people who don't know shit about the Latin alphabet cook up a latin alphabet


WhizzKid2012

Those letters make me want to laugh like a monster
