Lao and Sinhala are my new favorites.
I've always been a fan of symbols and making my own. I actually have created 5 distinct alphabets myself. It's a weird hobby I've had since I was young. My first two alphabets was inspired by Japanese and Greek letters. The third had Arabic influences. The fourth was a combination of Mayan and Egytian styles. And my latest and most used one is inspired by a number of African scripts primarily Bamum.
Are there any types of scripts that you find amazing? Please share it.

Woah, I like how round Sinhala looks.., like bubbles, or fruit.
I always really liked the original alchemical symbols!
They're strange, right? They don't really have any sort of connection to what they represent, and most of the old alchemical elements have multiple symbols. I don't know how they were ever useful to others at all.

Those are really cool! I remember hearing about alchemical symbols but never actually looked at a whole list of them before. Thanks for sharing.
I also really enjoy the Akan's Adinkra symbols. They're from Ghana in West Africa. I actually utilize these types of symbols in my games. Here are a few examples.
These symbols are most commonly used on fabrics but have many other applications such as being used in architecture and pottery.

Though I can't read a lick of it, I've always loved Arabic for its calligraphy. I'm pretty big on calligraphy, and I think Arabic by and far has the most developed and beautiful of them all:

I believe that sort of imagery developed because the religion prohibits depictions of living things so certain artists used calligraphy as a loop hole.
Besides that though I also love the fluid motion of Arabic's symbols.

Are there a lot of butts in Sinhala, or is it just me?
lol. can't say I noticed that before.

Perhaps not the most beautiful script, but I consider Hebrew to be quite elegant.
I like Hebrew too it's blocky forms remind me of Hylian ... you know from Zelda. I know that's a nerdy comparison but oh well lol.

What about tamil?
http://www.omniglot.com/writing/tamil.htm
Or Telugu?
http://www.omniglot.com/writing/telugu.htm
Or Myanmar (Burmese)?
http://www.omniglot.com/writing/burmese.htm
Or Thai?
http://www.omniglot.com/writing/thai.htm
Or Gujarati?
http://www.omniglot.com/writing/gujarati.htm
Or Irish/Gaelic. Well, it may use the latin alphabet, but it's pretty to read:
Ag feis nó dáil níl bean le fáil
Chomh sciamhach le mo Mháire
Tá aice cneas bog bán a 's deas
Do chuirfeadh lil' faoi náire;
'san domhan seo, níl aon chroí chomh díl
Nó cailín tá níos fíre -
'measc óg nó sean 'sí plúr na mban
Is ise bród na tíre.
Tá gruaig mo stóir mar fháinni óir
A'titim síos go talamh;
Thar muinéal ban a 's guaille lán
A cuma 'tá mar dhealbh.
Gí glan soiléar gach réalt 'san spéir
Tá súil mo ghrá níos glaine
's binne glór mo chailín óig
Ná cláirsí ciúin na cruinne.
'Measc aos óg i leathar bróg
Ar urlár, cúirt nó pairliúin
Níor sheas le taobh aon fhear ariamh
Bean-rinceoir leath chomh hálainn
Má bhris sí croí aon óganiagh
Gan bréag do bhris si céadta
'gus tá na mná fáil bháis gach lá
Le troim'is neart a n-éada.
Ag feis nó dáil níl bean le fáil
Chomh sciamhach le mo Mháire
Tá aice cneas bog bán a 's deas
Do chuirfeadh lil' faoi náire;
'san domhan seo, níl aon chroí chomh díl
Nó cailín tá níos fíre -
'measc óg nó sean 'sí plúr na mban
