Sort of yes, because the character will be different based on the placement in the word and it's meant to be written in one continuous line (more or less). However, Arabic uses infixes to conjugate while Mongolian uses suffixes like Latin languages.
It is indeed vertical Arabic! They took the Uyghur writing system (which is just the Arabic system, adapted slightly), turned the paper left 90°, and went from there 😊

Because at the time when the writing system was used it was a form of irish called primitive irish. Example of Primitive Irish inscription: [a]nm sillann maq vattillogg ("[in the] name of Sílán son of Fáithloga") another example is "maqi cairatini avi ineqaglas" or in modern irish "Mac Caírthinn Uí Enechglaiss" and to round it out with a third example "dovinias" modern "Duibne"
Balin script is an abugida not an alphabet. and it sure looks like Mongolian and Sinhala are also abugidas. You could've covered Cherokee, Armenian, Georgian, Coptic, etc
About Glagolitic scripture you are wrong: it is not the mother of Cyrillic alphabet. Cyrillic alphabet was created in first quarter of 10th century based directly on Greek alphabet. In other words: they took Greek letters and added to them only a few new letters for palatal sounds non-existing in Greek (basic Slavic palatal sounds in Latin alphabet today : č, ć, š, ž, đ, dž). So, actually, Cyrillic alphabet is Greek alphabet. And Glagolitic scripture was created by one Greek monk from Thessaloniki (in Slavic languages: Solun) around 860-ies (9th century). The monk's civil name was Konstantinos and his name as kalugjer in monastery was: Kyrillos. He actually invented the Glagolithic scripture with purpose to translate the entire Bible from Greek into Slavic language. So, he invented completely new scripture. Konstantinos and his brother monk Methodios were sent by Byzantine emperor to mission to state of Moravia in central Europe. Namely, the ruler of Moravia asked Byzantine emperor for learned Christian men to be sent to convert his country's population to Christianity (Duke of Moravia wanted to avoid German missionaries that is way he ask for conversion in Konstantinopolis (today's Istanbul)). So, the Bible translated into Slavic language which is today known as " Old Church Slavonic" or simply as "Old Slavic" and written in Glagolithic scripture first appeared in Moravia in 9th century, what is modern day area of Czech and Slovakia (Moravia today is region split between Czech republic and Slovakia /Slovensko in Slovak language, and the name Moravia or Moravska comes from the name of river Morava). In the end of 9th century politics in Moravia principality had changed and to German bishops and priests was allowed to enter the country and organise the Church under control of papacy from Rome. And Slavic translation of the Bible was banned. Slavic and Greek monks and priests with Glagolitic books had to escape from Moravia. It seems that major part of them came to Croatia, and has done monasteries especially in north Adriatic islands as Krk island, Cres , and in Istria and Vinodol region etc. In Croatia they continued liturgy in Old Slavic language although papacy in Rome was not happy about that. The oldest known stone inscription with long text in Glagolitic scripture in Croatia is dated around the year 1100, so called "Baščanska ploča" (Stone tablet from Baška on island Krk) with the name of Croatian king Zvonimir (Zvonimir kral hrvatski= Zvonimir king Croatian). In Croatia Glagolitic alphabet developed its rectangular shapes (in video we saw round shapes). Glagolitic alphabet was used in Croatia not only in Church but also for legal documents as it is "Vinodolski zakonik" (The Law Codex of Vinodol) in 1288. After the Guttenberg's invention of print in cca. 1455, the first Glagolitic books were printed in Croatia (Glagolitic incunabula).
Konstantinos and Methodius did not make the Cyrilic, the bulgarian Clement of Ohrid did, in Bulgaria on the request of Tsar Simeon and not on a mission to Moravia. The Cyrillic is revisioned glagolitic not Greek because some letters are directly from the glagolitic like Ш Щ Д Ѧ Ь. The letters in Cyrilic have the glagolitic names Aza Buki Vedi Glagoli... Not the greek Alpha Beta Gamma...
Nice, but a bit rushed. And considering that you are promoting an app to learn vocabulary and also posted a video to help you speak with native pronunciation, there's quite some accent in this video. However, I appreciate not using an artificial narrator.
It's bizarre to me that Chinese and Japanese never developed alphabets for their languages.I expect there have been some people in those countries who might have advocated adopting an alphabet already in existence,most likely Latin.Vietnam did that.
The Japanese developed the Kana and the Chinese did come up with a now outdated system. Now the Chinese use pinyin (latin chinese) to teach pronunciation.
hiragana and katakana are NOT abugidas, they are syllabaries as they have separate glyphs for consonant-vowel combinations like kaか kiき kuく keけ koこ japanese basically writes in different forms of chinese characters hiragana is ultra-simplified chinese (加 -> か, 安 -> あ) katakana is parts of chinese characters (久 -> ク, 祢 -> ネ) and of course, kanji, which are the chinese characters itself
Great question! The Wingdings font actually consists of symbols and icons rather than traditional letters. While some may resemble letters, they don't correspond directly to any alphabet.
Speaking of glagolithic system it comes in two varieties: anglular glagolithic alfabet which is older of two and first one to appear and rounded glagolithic alphabet that came later and remin in use till it was replaced by latin alphabet. prior to apearance of glagolithic alphabet croatians used cyrilic alphabet brought to them by cyril and methodius but even we don't know from where. What i said in my comment goes i am croatian after all and among those who know much more of croatian history then we were thought in school.
Angular developed later, the oldest angular example is a stone inscription from 1100. The oldest examples of round glagolitic are from 9th century Moravian documents and 10th century manuscripts like Codex Zographensis. Angular Glagolotic style was made because it's hard to write circles on stone and Croatians didn't have many books at the time. Cyril and Methodius made the glagolotic only. After they died one of their students - the bulgarian Clement of Ohrid revised the glagolotic on the request of Tsar Simeon to create the Cyrillic script which he named after his teacher. He made the Cyrilic in the literally school of Preslav in bulgaria where the oldest Cyrilic texts were found. Cyrillic was made after the glagolotic and after Cyril and Methodius died, they never went to Croatia. The bulgarians gave Cyrilic to Croatia. Croatian school education spreads lies
@@lifestealanimations9438 it's not that Croatian schools lie, we don't learn about glagolithic and cyril systems much in elementary school but i do remeber it from 7th or 8th grade and since i mixed them up i need to refresh my knowledge. Also there was form of cyrlic lettering system used in croatia called in my language bosancica which is another name for croatian cyrilic system. I apreciate you correcting me. What you said in croatia you learn in college if you're getting degree in croatian language as this is part of history of language. Once again thanks for correcting me.
@@raughboy188 I know people get them mixed up because it's called Cyrilic, I just thought textbooks actually say what you said which is inaccurate. I didn't know about the Bosnian version of Cyrilic you mentioned, that's very interesting! Maybe it was made by the Bogomils who were expelled from Bulgaria and moved to Bosnia for having different Christian beliefs.
@@lifestealanimations9438 it's not bosnian version it's just called bosancica because it was mostly used in bosnia by monks who were croatian which is why it's called croatian cyrilic as well and in coastal area of croatia at that time for some things but glagolitic was prevalent. Cyrlic lettering in general comes in several variants so it doesn't belong to one nation as a whole but variants developed to work with native language. You can check out how did bosancica look like and comparison with serbian cyrilic lettering and you'll see while they are both cyrilic letterings they are two different variants. There is whole lot i don't know but i'd like to know.

the cherokee script is also very weird, it has letters from the latin, greek, cyrillic and glagolitic alphabets, but they're pronounced completely differently (for example, the name of the cherokee language in cherokee is "Ꮳꮤꭹ") There's also the inuktitut syllabics, which change the pronunciation depending on the direction that the letter is facing, for example, the Inuktitut language written in Inuktitut syllabics is "ᖃᓂᐅᔮᖅᐸᐃᑦ" (qaniujaaqpait) or "ᑎᑎᕋᐅᓯᖅ ᓄᑖᖅ" (titirausiq nutaaq) The Inuktitut syllabics came from the Cree syllabary, the Cree syllabary is very similar, it's used to write the Cree and Ojibwe languages, "ᐅᔅᑭ ᑎᔅᑌᒥᓐᑦ ᑭ ᑎᐯᓕᒋᑫᒥᓇᐤ ᓀᔥᑕ ᑭ ᐱᒪᒋᐃᐌᒥᓇᐤ ᒋᓴᔅ ᒃᣅᔅᑦ" is the name of the new testament translated into the Cree language

You are close. The Mongolian script was borrowed from Syriac(a dialect of Aramaic) and adapted for writing vertically.
Uyghur script is based on Syriac alphabet, not Arabic.
