Journal 2 - Alphabet system

As always, I am always impressed with how an alphabet system might evolve from its inception. Knowing how other culture and languages influence each other and their writing system, which in turn affects their alphabet system design is incredible. There is always so much power to uncover from these kind of influences.

There is always room for improvement and I strongly believe even now our own system will continue to evolve. Particularly, I hope that the refining process can be more open and democratized again and be spread throughout the nation's wealth of knowledge.

For example, the cursive writing system Naskhi that eventually evolved into scripts is reminiscent of what I have learned in the past about Japanese. Japanese's Katakana, an alphabet usually to represent foreign words, was derived from cursive history as well.

And there is a calligraphy where each word can symbolize many different meanings. Calligraphy can be essentially in any form, even Hangul. Due to their beautiful strokes, I cannot help but always notice the fine detail in the calligrapher's work.
