minus-squareshoebum@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-27 days agoA lot of excellent observations. But you did answer your question when you mentioned most older scripts were illiterate (in the academic sense). Illiterate scripts inherently carry a lot of information whose priority is to convey the message independent of the listener (I’m guessing) I think languages that can convey tone are awesome.
