Ancient Alphabet

[Michael Kenmore]

I've seen a lot of people using this alphabet:



Exactly how many FT nations use it?

[Old Beringia]

No. We've never used that, let alone seen it. We've used this.

[Solar Communes]

/\/0 \/\/3 |_|53 13375|>34|<

Translation: "No, we use Leetspeak"

[Ta-Mehu]

[Kreanoltha]

Yes, we use a slight variation of it. We modified the glyph for "U" to prevent mixing it up with "F".



See?

[Greater Rhodes]

Being discovered in 1482 by both North African and European explorers, Greater Rhodes has always and still uses both the Latin and Arabic alphabets.

[Apaelas]

Yes, we use a slight variation of it. We modified the glyph for "U" to prevent mixing it up with "F".



See?

Mmm, we do use the orginal version at the top for computers. Readers can tell U from F by the context, and it's easier to use due some peculiar matter of digits a crystal can store. There is a difference in letters when writing by hand though.

Our data crystals have no limitations as to what they can store. Do you read it top to bottom or side to side?

[New Heliopolis]

Most Heliopolites use ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.

Side to side. Top to bottom's a kind of for fancy monuments, but extremely uncommon.

Our data crystals can store plenty of information, it's just that a crystal's molecular structure can only be rewritten to a certain extent, so we have a set-digit amount for easy access on all computer systems and for rewriting.

*nods* We typically read from top to bottom, but for "Kreanolthan-Latin as a Second Alphabet-Language" we let the newcomers read it from side to side -- not that it makes sense to us that way. Your crystal problem is interesting. We've never had that problem in the 800 plus years we've used our crystal matrix processors/memory units.

Well, we have computers thousands of years old still in common use alongside more recent models. It helps to have a common language they can all process. So all data crystals are formatted the same way, however archaic.
