Scriptsource

Are you interested in the many different writing systems of the world? Then this post is for you!

Scriptsource is “a dynamic, collaborative reference to the writing systems of the world, with detailed information on scripts, characters, languages – and the remaining needs for supporting them in the computing realm”. The homepage has links to featured scripts and writing systems, as well as the opportunity to learn about a language and find a character.

Today’s featured character is shown in the picture to the left. It is the “Latin Small Letter Eng”, used in African languages such as Masai and European language like Northern Sami, as well as Finnish (when written with a Latin script). Read more about the character here.

Scriptsource needs collaborators to help them grow the website; if you’re interested take a look!
