I am a hyperpolyglot gigachad alpha male who is so attractive. I speak so many languages that it isn't even fathomable by the average monolingual beta. If you are a monolingual beta, you should be looking forward to my book.

These are the craziest alphabets in the whole universe.

    This video was filmed and edited 95% before I went to the hospital. Still taking it relatively easy, but I'm already doing so much better. It is wild how some people actually thought I was joking about having medical issues lol. Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement to those who believed me! I'm working hard to finish The Hyperpolyglot Handbook which will be the ultimate language learning guide that will change human history forever. Stay tuned.

    I'm surprised you never mentioned the Cherokee alphabet, which was created by a man who had seen the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets but could read neither.

    What really amazes me that Russian "ю" and Japanese "ゆ" make the same sound. It's an absolutely crazy coincindence

    The american alphabet is very popular, it even used in ancient roman empire as its standard alphabet for the official language.

    As a Georgian, I’m glad that Georgian Alphabet is also mentioned here, I can confirm how weird and scribbly it looks and guess what, it’s not our only Alphabet, we LITERALLY have like 3 Alphabets, Asomtavruli (ႠႱႭႫႧႠႥႰႳႪႨ), Nuskhuri and Mkhedruli (მხედრული) but we only use Mkhedruli currently now, we also have removed letters that we used to have in Georgian language like ჱ, ჲ, ჳ, ჴ and ჵ, these letters are still used in other Kartvelian languages like ჲ in Mingrelian, Svan and Laz, there are also additions like the F sound letter (ჶ), the Georgian Schwa (ჷ) and glottal stop which looks like a reversed Georgian y looking letter ყ (ჸ)… 🇬🇪

    I always thought that " д " from Cyrillic looked the craziest but after open-mindedly watching this video, I still think that " д " looks the craziest AND creepiest.

    @Language Simp Linear B (of Bronze Age Greece) is a pretty wild one: They have jerry cans, ankhs, undermined skyscrapers, undermined birdhouses, people, people, who’ve stuck a fork in an electrical outlet, and a bunch of American letters; to name just a few. I seriously recommend checking it out. 😮

    "the American alphabet" alternate title: "The US plagiarizes the Latin alphabet" (I get the joke but still)

    Traditional Mongolian. It's written up to down unlike all languages. And letters look AMAZING as heck. And doesn't have too much circles.

    Fun fact: The Vai syllabary was invented in about 1833 in Liberia by Mɔmɔlu Duwalu Bukɛlɛ, who was inspired by a dream to create a writing system for the Vai language. In 1854 a German philologist, S. W. Koelle, met Duwalu Bukele while researching the Vai language. He was told that in Bukele's dream a tall, venerable-looking white man in a long coat appeared and said "I am sent to you by other white men ... I bring you a book." Bukɛlɛ was then shown many signs, but couldn't remeber them when he woke up, so he made new signs with some friends. Another theory is that the Vai syllabary was inspired by the Cherokee syllabary. A number of Cherokee emigrated to West Africa in the early 19th century. One of them, Austin Curtis, married a Vai woman from an influential family and became a Vai chief. It is possible that he was involved in some ways with the creation of the Vai syllabary. The syllabary proved popular with the Vai and by the end of the 19th century most of them were using it. In 1962 the Standardization Committee at the University of Liberia standardized the syllabary. A Vai version of the New Testament in the Vai script was published in 2003.

    In France they have more accented letters unless the string is capitalized, and they magically turn into regular letters. The A-ring-above letter is a Stargåte. That's a strange lowercase Beta in a more-or-less Times typeface. The Psy looks like a candle holder. Most of these foreign alphabets recycle similar shapes for different letters that are hard to tell apart. The Indian alphabet looks like the letters have been hung to dry on a clothes line.
