Writing Systems Quiz
Writing Systems Quiz is an invitation to look into the fascinating origins of world alphabets and scripts of the world. Long before smartphones, ancient Sumerians created cuneiform by pressing wedge shapes into clay tablets, making it the world’s oldest writing system. Imagine using a stylus made from reeds found near the river to keep track of sheep or grains. The trivia doesn’t stop there; cuneiform was so flexible that it could spell words in a dozen languages without ever having true alphabet letters. Today, tracing the evolution from pictographs to scripts stretches all over the globe, from logographic script inventors to the creators of Korean Hangul script. The quiz celebrates this journey through symbols, syllables, and alphabets of every kind.
