Tocharian scriptThe Tocharian script, also known as Central Asian slanting Gupta script or North Turkestan Brāhmī, is an abugida which uses a system of diacritical marks to associate vowels with consonant symbols. Part of the Brahmic scripts, it is a version of the Indian Brahmi script. It is used to write the Central Asian Indo-European Tocharian languages, mostly from the 8th century (with a few earlier ones, probably as early as 300 CE) that were written on palm leaves, wooden tablets and Chinese paper, preserved by the extremely dry climate of the Tarim Basin.
Laṇḍā scriptsThe Laṇḍā scripts (from the term laṇḍā meaning "without a tail"), is a Punjabi word used to refer to writing systems used in Punjab and nearby parts of North India. In Sindhi, it was known as 'Waniko' or 'Baniyañ'. It is distinct from the Lahnda language varieties, which used to be called Western Punjabi. Laṇḍā is a script that evolved from the Śāradā during the 10th century. It was widely used in the northern and north-western part of India in the area comprising Punjab, Sindh, Kashmir and some parts of Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
NandinagariNandināgarī is a Brahmic script derived from the Nāgarī script which appeared in the 7th century AD. This script and its variants were used in the central Deccan region and south India, and an abundance of Sanskrit manuscripts in Nandināgarī have been discovered but remain untransliterated. Some of the discovered manuscripts of Madhvacharya of the Dvaita Vedanta school of Hinduism are in Nandināgarī script. It is a sister script to Devanāgarī, which is common in other parts of India. Nāgarī comes from नगर (), which means city.
VisargaVisarga (विसर्गः) means "sending forth, discharge". In Sanskrit phonology (), (also called, equivalently, by earlier grammarians) is the name of the voiceless glottal fricative, [h], written as 'ः'. Visarga is an allophone of /r/ and /s/ in pausa (at the end of an utterance). Since /-s/ is a common inflectional suffix (of nominative singular, second person singular, etc.), visarga appears frequently in Sanskrit texts. In the traditional order of Sanskrit sounds, visarga and anusvāra appear between vowels and stop consonants.
Cham scriptThe Cham script is a Brahmic abugida used to write Cham, an Austronesian language spoken by some 245,000 Chams in Vietnam and Cambodia. It is written horizontally left to right, just like other Brahmic abugidas. The Cham script is a descendant of the Brahmi script of India. Cham was one of the first scripts to develop from a script called the Pallava script some time around 200 CE. It came to Southeast Asia as part of the expansion of Hinduism and Buddhism.
Écriture birmaneL'écriture birmane (birman : မြန်မာအက္ခရာ, [mjàNmà ɛʔkhəjà], mranma akkha.ra) est un alphasyllabaire aux formes arrondies, utilisé en Birmanie pour l'écriture du birman. Quelques autres langues utilisent une partie des aspects et des lettres de l'écriture birmane, comme le môn, le shan, plusieurs langues karens comme le karen s'gaw, le karen pwo occidental et oriental, ou le karen pa'o, quelques langues taï comme l’aiton, le khamti, ou le tai phake, et elle a aussi été utilisée pour la transcription des langues pali et sanskrit.
Makasar scriptThe Makasar script, also known as Ukiri' Jangang-jangang (bird's script) or Old Makasar script, is a historical Indonesian Writing system that was used in South Sulawesi to write the Makassarese language between the 17th and 19th centuries until it was supplanted by the Lontara Bugis script. The Makasar script is an abugida which consists of 18 basic characters. Like other Brahmic scripts, each letter represents a syllable with an inherent vowel /a/, which can be changed with diacritics.
Tigré (langue)Le tigré (autonyme : ትግረ, tigre ou ትግሬ, tigrē) est une langue éthiosémitique parlée en Érythrée et au Soudan. Cette langue est assez proche du tigrigna, langue parlée en Érythrée et en Éthiopie, de sortes qu'il peut y avoir inter-compréhension entre les deux langues. Souvent, les locuteurs du tigré sont bilingues tigré/tigrigna. Cependant, le tigré a diverses variantes dialectales entre l'Érythrée et le Soudan.

Scriptio continuaLa scriptio continua (expression latine pour « écriture continue »), également nommée scriptura continua, est un type d'écriture ininterrompue utilisé couramment dans la civilisation étrusque comme dans l'Antiquité gréco-romaine. La scriptio continua se caractérise par son absence de ponctuation, d'espaces et de séparation entre les mots ou les phrases. Elle ne comporte pas non plus de point médian ni de signes diacritiques et les lettres sont toutes de même format, à l'inverse du système bicaméral.
