My kid wrote me a message using the Tendrilis script!
Thank You again to @blinry for drawing our attention to this aesthetically pleasing writing system.

🐲 The #ChineseLanguage and its #writingsystem ✍️ represent one of the most enduring and unique linguistic traditions in human history. Rooted in the Sino-Tibetan language family, #Chinese evolved in a completely different cultural and historical context compared to the #IndoEuropeanlanguages. In this post, we briefly explore its origins and development and its linguistic characteristics and significance:
I have been very interested in Tibetan Buddhism as of late and I recently learned how to recite the Seven Line Prayer as well as write it out accurately. I am so captured by the Tibetan script's beauty that I wanted to try my hand at it. This is one of the ume scripts called Tsugtong. I still need to learn to terminate the sentences properly.

I was looking at these posters from the Gutenberg museum as a way to introduce my curious daughter (age 9) to the world's writing systems.
https://www.worldswritingsystems.org/poster.html
However, I wondered if anyone on here knows of any other (age-appropriate) resources in book (prreferred) or poster form that I should consider?
Boosts appreciated.

Cool fact!
But it's not the only writing system specially adapted to an African language. Another example is the Vai syllabary: https://omniglot.com/writing/vaisyllabary.htm
