Phoenician based conscripts?
Did anyone try to create some conscripts based on Phoenician script or proto Sinaitic even?

Anyone can imagine what Greek script may look like if it evolved in a similar manner to Arabic script (joined, curly characters) instead of keeping most characteristics of Phoenician?

You would be looking for the Bactrian cursive.Otto Kretschmer wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 11:19 am Anyone can imagine what Greek script may look like if it evolved in a similar manner to Arabic script (joined, curly characters) instead of keeping most characteristics of Phoenician?

The latest attestations of the Bactrian language is written in a script that is so dissimilar to its progenitor that it can hardly be considered as anything but separate from the latter. (For the matter, even the Coptic script, which is as distinct from the Greek as modern Roman types are to the uncial, is widely considered one of its own.) If there is a substantial corpus of the latest specimens of the script online (and I sure there is, though has anyone got a link to the same), a conscript projecting the script to a development 1000 years longer would even seem workable -- why, one can even construct a 'Bactrian Nastaliq'!

the Phoenician being at the origin of the Greek alphabet, itself at the origin of the Latin alphabet...

Re: Phoenician based conscripts?
Did anyone try an independent evolution from proto sinatic script?
That one would be interesting.
