I forgot to include Syriac (which evolved from Aramaic in around 200BC):



Thoughts?

Any love for the Phoenician script (the father of Greek, Latin and Aramaic scripts)?



Amazing how our A is still similar to Phoenician's apostrophe-looking "aleph" (top left). While the Aramaic, Hebrew and Arabic's As/alep's have evolved to look differently. Let's not forget M, N, L, Q, O and T.

The Mongolian script is based on Aramaic. It is pretty interesting, considering the distance between the Middle East and Central Asia.

Meh, the Gothic script is what you'd get if you mix Greek, Latin and Runes letters.
