Meanwhile, Russian Cursive:
Not fair, that is a medical document.
hahaha true
Latin cursive can be just as bad: https://imgur.com/WKPaFYf
It usually looks like this, with the dotted i’s, which is a lot more legible.
!Clearly that’s mimimum
Is that “minimum”?
Yes. And we can read that because we’ve a passing familiarity with Latin cursive. I assume Cyrillic readers can make sense of the Russian example, even if we’re clueless.
Now, an exercise for you guys. Answer which script this is without peeking at the table:
မင်္ဂလာပါ၊ တွေ့ရတာ ဝမ်းသာပါတယ်။
Burmese or elvish.
Dravidian?
Butts
Where cyrillic or georgian script
Cyrilllic is bulgarian in origin, but I think this picture describes eastern asian scripts (there are other cool ones among those, like tamil).
Which asian language uses those?
Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan
I thought Kazakhstan switched to Latin script
The transition is still undergoing. Takes a while to switch.
Stay tuned for the sequel!
