    For reference, check this wikipedia article for a comprehensive list. I didn't utilize all of the scripts listed, and I added one more-- Braille, which I thought was relevant. If perchance you know an alphabet that isn't on the list, please specify.

    carps i also know cryillic during my brief russian-language obsession

    but my most recent addition was hangul, which was surprisingly easy to learn since i spent two days pouring over it and romanizing korean texts and ****

    I was thinking more along the lines of 'able to read,' that's the qualifier. Can you read words in quick succession, no pause or stutter?

    I would like to learn Braille.

    I kind of feel like adding Chinese tot hat list is a bit incorrect. Chinese written language isn't based around an alphabetic system, and the only one it has is based around a reverse engineered Romanised one. Each symbol is more complex than what we would think. Just throwing that out there, because Wiki isn't always reliable.

    Anyway, Latin script is all i'm good for.

    I deciphered a little Nazcäan while playing Ni No Kuni but I wouldn' t count it. Oh and by the way ...

    i can read music lyrics in korean, but you're talking like being able to wholly read/understand the language, which wasn't the case with the other alphabets. i assumed you meant just knowing the alphabet.

    I was referring to Cyrillic, and wondered why you hadn't chosen it in the poll--? Unless you aren't confident in your abilities or something such. Yes, knowing the alphabet/being able to pronounce (not necessarily understand) words is the standard by which the poll functions.[DOUBLEPOST=1394001585][/DOUBLEPOST]
    I was also wondering when the Tolkien linguist geeks would attack...
