I see no point in using different alphabets.
For example, khmer alphabet used in Cambodia and nowhere else? A single country using its own alphabet, fucking useless, noone will learn your alphabet.
Chinese? A system that's wrong from its concept. If your writing system is so vast that no-one can fully grasp it then your system is wrong. You do not need 200+ letters, whoever created it like so was a retard. You don't overcomplicate things, you simplify them.
Why doesn't everyone FORMALLY switch to Latin? They learn it anyway since English is taught everywhere around the globe. I'm not going to learn Asian alphabets or the Arab one, they will learn the Latin one.

And before anyone says
>why not abandon your language and just switch to English?
There are things in our languages that have no direct counterpart in English, there's no words for them like romanian "dor" or Finnish "sisu".
They can however be written and spelt using the Latin alphabet

Different scripts provide diversity and also you're under appreciating calligraphy as an art form.

>>216197873 (OP)
i think cyrillic looks cooler than latin

>>216197919
English can just take those as loanwords.

>>216197938
>>216197944
They don't provide diversity, you could write an entire Cyrillic or Chinese text using Latin alphabet and it would make sense.

>muh art
Noone cares, you're not making paintings when signing contracts

>>216197989
it literally wouldnt in the case of chinese because chinese & japanese rely on the pictograms to differentiate between words when context isnt available

>>216197873 (OP)
im chinese ethnically but i agree, pictograms are retarded and caused us to lose A LOT of progress

chinks invented the printing press hundreds of years before (((gutenberg))) but realized that they had 2000 characters and a printing press was unfeasible. the inability to proliferate information may have caused us to lose centuries of advantage over the rest of the world

not to mention, with computers, typewriters and keyboards, the issue continued to get exacerbated. modern day chinks basically use pinyin which is just the sound of the word + a number for the tone. so you'll get something like nei4 ge4

I know/am used to Devanagari so it has lost its mystique for me but the south Indian scripts look cool and alien.

>>216198114
Exactly
>>216198012
It would like the Canadian said

>>216197919
>there's no words for them like romanian "dor" or Finnish "sisu".
Lol fuck off with this pretentiousness that's just "nostalgia" and "resilience"

>>216198195
They're more that that, it's not nostalgia and it's not just resilience for them, it's a resilience specific to finland

>>216198221
This is like when tards started saying English didn't have a word for "umami" and "savory" was right there the whole time.

>>216198256
These are concepts hard for you to grasp since you didn't learn the language but that ain't the point, the point is that you can learn any language using the Latin alphabet

>>216198195
>>216198256
t. retard

Okay, how about "longing". How is it different from longing?

>>216198330
>>216198297
>DUDE IT'S LIKE SO DEEP AND INCOMPREHENSIBLE
Nigga, fuck off.
Most words have an equivalent in English. I'm not going to get lectured by the french about how I can't possibly translate triste and then tristful just exists.

>>216198352
every english "equivalent" that people rattle off never carries the same nuance. im not sure why people like you get so upset over this. do you really take pride in the language you speak?

>>216198335
>>216198352
Check out your fellow Englishman>>216198383
It ain't just "longing" you can't use longing as a noun and refer to it similar to refering to a person

>>216197873 (OP)
You are a tsigan. Which has neither history nor future.
Unlike you, we Asians have millennia old ideologies and history.
We dont care what white/brown/black monkeys think.
We don't need some rootless gypsies to learn our languages.
We are a self sufficient race and dont need to prove anything to anyone.
We're actually planning to soon restore our runes and abandon the slave alphabet.

>>216198505
I don't think that anyone even recognises the existantace of your country. Is that Hong Kong or?

>>216198505
>You are a tsigan
Bodied that brownoid trash

>>216198383
>>216198476
So explain that nuanced meaning using multiple English words.

>>216198383
The only words I've encountered that can't really be translated are esoteric terms like "dukkha" or "wu wei" but even those can be translated with a brief description and explanation as as loanword.

English speakers will never understand the difference between ser and estar.

>>216198561
I can't, you have to learn romanian, which you can using the alphabet

>>216198690
Ser is essential and estar is passing.

>>216198538
I believe race matters and that we have a fundamental difference in how we see the world compared to them.
OP tsigan, judging by his response, probably didnt even understand what I meant.
Unfortunately a two digit IQ makes itself felt, not everyone needs to have a three-digit IQ like us, otherwise there will be no one left to clean the toilets.

>>216198505
I will learn kyrgz if this happens

>>216198533
Idk why you think conserving languages is important but not writing systems, as if writing systems don't also contain massive nuance unique to their specific cultures.
I mean, look picrel, they're trying to get latin letters to do things that were made with a Chinese-inspired script in mind and it would be better if they did it like that from the start.

>>216198012
no, they don't
there are no ideograms in spoken language and yet people understand each other, i'm tired of this garbage argument
ok, the japanese have tonal stress and use ideograms as spaces? then fucking add another diacritic to the syllabaries and use actual spaces, you stupid fucks

>>216197873 (OP)
everything should be written in IPA, languages in formal context should be written according to the most prestigious accent in its current state or according to idiolects in informal context
it's not too hard, asians can learn useless ideograms so they can also learn IPA
