Hidden scripts, hidden stories. In the mountains of southern China, Yao and Puyuan women once recorded their songs, emotions, and ceremonies using unique writing systems - the Babao and Poya Songbook Scripts. Passed through generations by hand, these beautiful forms of literacy now teeter on the edge of extinction. Come join our upcoming meeting on July 6th - links in bio.

Look, @Endangeredalphabets has a new Kickstarter open! I've backed a couple from him before, and they're a treat. This one, centering calligraphy, speaks even more to me, and I can't wait to read it!

My next book will be Endangered Alphabets Calligraphy: The Disappearing Art of Writing. Watch out for the Kickstarter in October! #endangeredalphabets #calligraphy endangeredalphabets.com
I believe I may have suggested before that Endangered Alphabets monograms make great wedding gifts? This is a fairly familiar script, but in a cursive version, which I had never seen before. Anyone want to guess the script, or the wood? #endangeredalphabets
The amazing bubinga table is coming together, folks. Eight repetitions of the chant "Om shanti shanti shanti om" in a Buddhist script that was used in Angkor Wat 1000 years ago. Its legs and base are already made and waiting across the lake in Burlington. Now we need a buyer. Please boost, especially if you have friends who like amazing and unique furniture! #endangeredalphabets
Interesting video about the #Tigalari script, the #Tulu language and #Unicode :Unicode:
Hey, my friends in #Scandinavia: I just heard about Saami muorranamat, and I'd love to do a tribute carving. Does anyone know anything about them or the script? Please RT! #endangeredalphabets

Do you have a publicly available bibliography of material that would enable one to learn #handwriting #copybook in the 350 or so endangered #writingsystemsforindigenouslanguages #endangeredalphabets ?
Most of the languages that utilise those #WritingSystems are also facing #LanguageDeath, and #CultureNegation.
