I'm one of the few who speak East Turkestan's Sibe language (which China now seeks to eliminate). You may write the language in three ways, Old Uyghur alphabet, Latin alphabet and Japanese-style system.
Is there anyone who can read the Uyghur alphabet that is willing to write me the Latin alphabet equivalent of words?
From 1965 to 1982, Uyghurs started to use the Latin alphabet. Today, most independent Turkic nations also use the Latin alphabet.

People whose native language doesn't use the latin alphabet, what's it like for you ?
17 hrs later : Damn, must be a pertinent question. Glad a lot of people care about this too. I was a bit surprised that many of the answers revolve around typing, which wasn't what I planned but great nonetheless. I was a bit more concerned with how you perceive the world around you, since childhood does shape a person a lot. Maybe about how people think and read in a different way having the language they grew up with not using the latin alphabet, hell maybe throw in some synesthesia. Big thanks to everyone, you beautiful bastards

Dear Greek people who have learned Greek Alphabet in elementary school, are you able to read this text as if it's in Latin Alphabet? Or your brain just goes into Greek mode and mixes everything up
Do Russians misuse the Latin alphabet for stylistic purposes?
In American media about Russia, you often see faux Cyrillic spelling of words like replacing 'A' with 'Д', 'R' with 'Я', 'U' with 'Ц', etc. Here are some examples. Do Russians do the same thing but with the Latin alphabet? Can you give me some examples?
If you can read latin alphabet, read this:

Should we learn the Latin alphabet in school?
We have come full circle. From 83 letters at the start from the three extant European alphabets; Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic, has dwindled down to just one letter from each; N, Gamma, and Glagoli. Round 43! Comment the letter you want TO WIN!

ELI5 Is the order of the Latin alphabet completely arbitrary, or are the letters of the alphabet arranged that way for a reason?
I tried making the Armenian alphabet in that (mostly) 3x3 style you can also make the Latin alphabet in in Minecraft. I took a few liberties to make certain letters look more readable, how'd it turn out?

As a beginner, should I include the pronunciation using the latin alphabet or only write the cyrillic letters on my flashcards?
I started learning Russian less than 2 weeks ago. I'm using mainly Pimsleur (up to lesson 20 so far), with AnkiDroid for flashcards and google translate to practice writing.
I started off by writing just the pronunciation using the latin alphabet on my flashcards. After a while I started writing the russian spelling in the cyrillic alphabet too, mainly to practice and learn alphabet. So I'd just have both side-by-side.
But now I'm wondering, should I delete the latin alphabet writing of each word and phrase? And have only the cyrillic one, to train my eye or whatever? Or is it too early to do that, and I can keep writing both side-by-side?
Latin alphabet is actually a very shitty alphabet

How hard is it to tell the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets apart for people that exclusively use an entirely different kind of writing system?
For example, can the average monolingual Arabic or Chinese speaker tell by appearances that Russian and Spanish use totally different alphabets, or is that something only speakers of languages that write with true alphabets naturally pick up on? Sorry if this is a weird question but I'm not really sure what to think. I can tell Hebrew and Arabic scripts apart easily but on the other hand all those scripts from India, at least in my mind, really blend together.
Cyrillic vs Latin Alphabet Focus
Was there a nation in an earlier version of the mod where one of the focuses was to decide if the country would use Latin Script or Cyrillic, and thus lean toward Germany or Russia respectively? I think it may have been Poland or White Ruthenia.
New elimination game: (ISO) Latin VS Greek VS (Russian) Cyrillic. Round 1! Choose the ONE letter you wish to eliminate from here in the comments. Most upvotes = ELIMINATED. For homoglyphs, indicate the alphabet, like so: "a (Latin)" or "а (Cyrillic)".
The Calendar suddenly turned Cyrillic. Client and everything else is as usual, in English, and the Calendar was in English all these days. My country uses Latin, not Cyrillic alphabet. Curios what happened?

Insomnia and boredom got the better of me, and so I thought to make my phone a bit more interesting by replacing the original Latin Alphabet with Aurebesh. Not sure it belonged to r/starwars so I thought I'd better post it here
Belarusians, it it true that the Belarusian language can also be written in the Latin alphabet and not only in Cyrillic?
I heard that recently and wanted to know whether it was true or not
The remaining letters are in the top 21, and one of them will NOT reach the top 20. In other news, Latin is the only alphabet left that hasn't been "abjad-ised". Round 33! Comment the letter(s) you want eliminated.
Where to find non-latin alphabet fonts?(Chinese,Cyrilic,Arabic etc)
I mostly use dafont as a resource for fonts in my game,but couldn't find any font from other writing system. As i'm willing to add some more translations in my game,would be nice to have some other languages that don't use latin alphabet. Are there any sites you can recommend?
Here is my Critanian script. I based it of the Greek and Latin scripts. The first phoneme/romanization if there is multiple listed is the one used for the Critanian language (I use this alphabet for multiple conlangs)! :) I will add the rest of them in the comments

How often do you use the latin alphabet?
At what age are you taught the latin alphabet (to learn English, I guess)? And do you use it very often in the school? For example, in the periodic table to represent the elements (H for Hidrogen, He for Helium...) or in maths (x, y).
And is it common for you to use the latin alphabet (not in Russian, but in other languages as English) in your everyday life? For instance to surf on the Internet.
Thanks! :)
In your opinion, what useful “extra Latin” letters would you add as standard (ISO) to the Latin alphabet?
What letters would be most useful to incorporate as standard into the Latin alphabet, especially based on your experience making conlangs that either use Latin script or that you’ve tried to Romanize?
Preferential caveats:
-
Simply having existing letters with diacritics don’t count, except for historical evolutions like Ç (from tailed Z — Ꝣ) or Ñ (from NN).
-
Diacritic vowels are always useful and outside the scope of this question. (They don’t need to be standard, nor do any diacritics).
-
Historical ligatures & letter variants like ẞ & ʃ are OK. Remember that W was a ligature while J & U were just variants of I & V.
Example: In my opinion, Þ Ð/Θ Ç Ñ Ŋ Ɣ ẞ/ʃ Ʒ for these /θ ð t͡ʃ ɲ ŋ ɣ ʃ ʒ/.
Maybe even throw in Ə for any vowel /ɛ ɨ ə ɯ ɤ ʌ æ/ and Ω for any vowel /ɔ ʉ ø œ ɶ ɒ ɑ/. Add diacritics to those 2 vowel letters and now you have much more options to represent vowels without resorting to multiple different diacritics (Ä+Å+Á) or multigraphs (“ei” & “eau”), or even relying on the position of a vowel like English does (“can” vs. “cane”).
Note: This applies to the entire Latin alphabet and every language that uses it as a whole, not just how it would apply to the English language.
Why did Egyptian Hieroglyphs evolve into the Latin alphabet (and some others) but the same thing didn't happen to the Chinese characters? (Considering both were pictograms)
As said in the post, is there anything that stopped chinese characters going through the same thing as hieroglyphs?
