Languages always seemed interesting to me. It's less about communicating with others, and more about encoding information (and something more, maybe ;)) in an organic, elegant, and flexibly interpretable manner. Writing systems are even more interesting in that they are the very first humans designed and used systematically.

I know Chinese and English well and can speak them fluently. I know a fair amount about French, German and Japanese. I know a bit about Latin, Greek, Russian, Arabic, Korean, Turkish, Farsi, Spanish, and Italian.

When it comes to writing systems, I know Chinese characters, Kana, Hangul, Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Perso-Arabic, Square script (used for Hebrew and Aramaic), and Syriac very well. I know a fair amount about Devanagari (and all Brahmic scripts by association), Tibetan, Burmese, and Thai. I know a bit about Armenian, Inuktitut, Cherokee, Georgian, N'ko, and Ge'ez.

I like to play with different writing systems, use them to transcribe and record sounds from other languages.
