The armenian alphabet is delicious beautifoul, followed by classical greek in second and the arabic in third:

Armenian:

Ա Բ Գ Դ Ե Զ Է Ը Թ Ժ Ի Լ Խ Ծ Կ Հ Ձ Ղ Ճ Մ Յ Ն Շ Ո Չ Պ Ջ Ռ Ս Վ Տ Ր Ց Ւ Փ Ք Օ Ֆ

The indian ones are beautifouls too:

Some linguists have pointed out that the Korean Hangul alphabet is arguably the world's most "efficient" one when it comes to near-perfect grapheme-phoneme correspondence.
 

Hangul consists of 24 letters 14 consonants and 10 vowels that are written in syllabic blocks of 2 to 5 components. Below is a chart of the Korean alphabet's symbols and their canonical IPA values:

Consonants
IPA p t ʨ k ʨ͈ ʨʰ s h m n ŋ w r j
Hangul    
Vowels

Arabic is the most calligraphical alefbeh, and the artwork done with it would have to be some of the best.

Beauty of alphabet is not really something Europeans excelled at. The Latin & Greek scripts (which most other Euro-scripts are based on) are rather boring.

The one used by Bengali's is also quite nice (not sure what the script is called though).

I agree, some artistic forms of Arabic calligraphy are simply exquisite, there is no way one could imitate that with latin characters.

I'm going to put in a good word for the Czech alphabet, I don't know why.  There's always that just seems humble and jovial about it ;)

The Hellenic alphabet (Attic version)




From the latin alphabets I like the Irish alot.

The Armenian is a mystery for me and that's why it fascinates me.

Arabic is beautiful as well.

Oh flipper, flipper I thought u wore a smart intelectual... ccc man u really disapoint me i kinda liked you style of propaganda, but BUT as u can see some of the Macedonian letters look diferent visually but also the sixth letter of the Serbian alphabeth is more of a "Dj" (eng. the "d" in "Dew or the "J" in Jew) and in Macedonian its "Gj" (look up the macedonian border town of Gevgelija(greek. Gevgeli) Macedonian features "Dz"(i dont have Macedonian Supp. on this comp), it is located between "Z" and "I" (between the 9th and 11th Macedonian letters, meaning its the 10th Macedonian letter). The 23rd letter thats in the Serb alphabeth does not exist in the Macedonian one, and the Macedonian languege has "Kj" (as a Q as in "Suzie Q)...and further more the Serb alfabeth is 1 letter short...
SO... this mean not only YOU are VERY wrong, BUT you also sliped up and showed you nationalistic views rather than YOU been here for "HISTORICAL" reasons. Clap
 
sorry mate u f*up this time. Dead

Watch your language. I was not ironic and certainly didn't do any propaganda by pointing out something. So, please do not try to accuse me for something I didn't do. Look again at this forum and see your comments like "I've head that"-style you've made in serious discussions before accusing me for anything.

Now tell me something. Did the sequence you posted become official in 1944? If yes, was the Serbian or the Bulgarian alphabet the official one? And I am serious about that question, so please don't start all over again.

Ok I understand YOU we all feel bad when we make mistakes. But never mind that u made it u face it (I do the same). But anyways yes its true that this form of Macedonian was actually established in 1944. But I don't know why everyone forgets that the first slavic based Alphabeth was designed on the dialect that was spoken in the Macedonia Reageon. So doesnt this make macedonian a much older language? Doesnt a language have the freedom to evolve and better it self (for eg. your native Greek has evolved through the ages). I mean we Macedonians used a form that was much closer to the modern Bulgarian(but only visualy) not structualy, all through the ages we had a non-specified form, which was not all that different from today (only a few letters that have no sound have been thrown out). But the language was basicly the same (keeping in mind that it evolved to a certan degree, it got standerdised(no more dialect forms) but it still keeps its main core basis).

...and for the "I've heard that", style of comments... just politics. Figure it out. If u havent noticed we Macedonians are very peceful and don't like arguments all that much, and trust me I will do almost anything to avoid a usless confrontation. So if I need to say something I feel in a way so I don't spark a "war" but still retain the information on where you stand on a question, then YES i make comments like that.

The slavonic alphabet was designed indeed in Thessaloniki by the brothers Cyril and Methodius and was targeting the slavonic populations in the Balcans and above. I didn't comment the language, i wanted to verify a document that contains that year. So thanks for that. Unfortunately (by my opinion) the Greek alphabet became more simplyfied which was not good.

Now, if you don't mind I refer to that alphabet as slavonic macedonian alphabet. I'm from the region and do not connect to that alphabet.

This depends from person to person. I didn't accuse you for being hostile but not everyone is like that. Remember i was one of the first to welcome you here with a PM.

My reaction was based on accusation of propaganda towards me when all I did was an observation based on an official Monotype document.
