I thought this would be an interesting, novel question.

I've selected 10 different common Asian scripts from various languages in Asia.

Arabic Alphabet (Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Sindh.etc)
Arabic alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Devanagari (Hindi, Marathi, Sanskrit)

Tamil Script (Tamil)

Sinhala Alphabet (Sinhala/Sinhalese)

Burmese brahmic script (Burmese)

Thai alphabet and related scripts (Thai, Khmer, Lao)
Thai alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Written Chinese (Mandarin, Sinitic languages, Japanese, Korean, minority languages of China)
Written Chinese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Japanese writing systems - Hiragana/Katakana (Japanese)
Hiragana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Katakana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hangul/Chosongul (Korean)
Hangul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tibetan Alphabet (Tibetan languages)
Tibetan alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


My choice would be out of Arabic or Chinese, even though they're so different. Arabic is graceful and flowing, while Chinese looks so complex and interesting and packed with meaning, although I won't pretend I'll ever master it.
