Chinese, Japanese and Korean are the most beautiful in my opinion, but I also like Sanskrit and Arabic.
I like Russian too, but I kinda prefer old Slavic Glagolitic script:

I'd also like to add Celtic Ogham script:

Runic alphabet from Scandinavia is nice too:

Don't forget about ancient Mayan script, weird but quite interesting:

And finally, the Inca script also known as Quipu, made out of knotted strings of cotton:

They're all great, but my absolute favorite is Arabic calligraphy. Why? Because of zoomorphic calligraphy.
They're all great, and Sanskrit is my 2nd favorite because of how the letters in one word are connected by one line. One of the reasons why I love the Arabic script is that it's letters are usually connected at well.
Chinese, Arabic and Japanese I guess. Well I'm Chinese myself so I may be biased, but I just like the Chinese language a lot, there's no particular reason why.
I think any alphabet writing can look beautiful depending on the calligraphy 🖋
Greek. I'm so used to seeing Arabic that I'm kinda tired of it lol

I think Japanese or Korean or Arabic
I wanted to go with latin, since latinum is the best language ever, but I decided to go with Greek, since it's largely represented in math and physics, and I have bi boner for them.
I would like to construct my own, though. 32 basic letters, 16 of them with modification. This in normal and capital. Then 12 numbers, since base-12 si superior in every way, so thats 12 numbers and another 12 small, for decimals. That's total 120 symbols, after that anothers like comma, dot, and so on. No decima separator though. No need. :-) Thousand separator would be space, so again, no need.
Chinese is just dreadful. I work in a neuroscience lab with all Chinese people. I’m literally the only non-Chinese person (I’m American).
We usually label our things with Chinese characters, since they’re often easier to fit onto smaller items (e. g. test tubes and pipettes).
For example, when we have to label what time of day a rat is born, we use “早” for “morning,” since the Chinese character is much more space-efficient for tagging purposes.
Though, I do have to say, Chinese characters can look very beautiful if written calligraphically. The complexity is somewhat hypnotic. Lol.
Tibetan's wonderful. Just looking at it is meditation by itself. As to Sanskrit, it looks quite beautiful, but the curves of the Bengali script are what I really adore. I couldn't find a decent picture of it, but you may check out Bengali Wikipedia to catch a glimpse of it.
I like the history of the Hebrew alphabet. I also like that it was pretty much a dead language, and then revitalised in the state of Israel. It can look weird af though. But I'll go for the Hebrew alphabet because of the above reasons.
Greek and Arabic, I think, because of the shapes of the letters. They are less blocky than the others.
Russian? Really? Language is beautiful, but alphabet? Nahh
That's not Arabic language I think it's Urdu and yes the alphabet looks the same but It's not Arabic.
Where’s Japanese? The only one that comes close is Chinese.
I don't really like them that much they seem kinda chunky i like the English alphabet better
These are letters and not words?
Man I'm glad I speak English.
I like how the phoenician alphabet wasn't an option
I love Korean alphabet, I don't know maybe because it look somewhat geometric
I like Korean , chinese, Japanese, Hindi. It looks cool and awesome when someone writes it.
Why no English in this poll🤔
I'll go with greek in this one.
Japanese it seems so elegant especially on my cooking knives
I like the western one, Japanese katakana and Russian.
Im learning Arabic because its so beautiful :)
Georgian alphabet. The letters look like heart shape.
They're all sort of cool. I'm going with Arabic.
