    true, all the shitty languages like fr*nch could keep latin, german could adopt cyrillic, russian can adopt perso-arabic, turkish could use the tibetan script and kurdish can use hangul,

      I know you that you are joking, and that the target is not a marginalised language. But please, linguistic prejudice is not healthy, not even for jokes.

      With that out of the way… why not go the same way Sejong and Sequoyah went? Instead of adopting old scripts, creating new ones.

      turkish could use the tibetan script

      I feel like Turkish did a really good job “wrestling” the Latin alphabet, considering they aren’t even in the same family. It would be nice if it had a script better suited for languages with vowel harmony, though.
