This is great, I love languages and writing systems. My own heritage is Irish so I can see how language and culture are linked so strongly to writing the words to speak the language of that culture.
It's amazing how dismissive we can be too. A friend of mine who is Mi'kmaq (pronounced mig-maw) a First Nations/Native American was showing me ancient glyph symbols of his language. I had been telling him about languages I liked and that's why he showed me the Mi'kmaq alphabet/syllabary for their writing system. They aren't used Latin letters are used but it shows how even me as a fan of languages assumed First Nations peoples in the Americas did not develop writing systems. https://www.omniglot.com/writing/mikmaq.htm https://www.omniglot.com/writing/mikmaq.htm
I can spend hours looking at Omniglot.com I strongly recommend it.
