Here's a new quest. What are the aplhabets for the various major races? Is there a set for Ganglic other that the Terran English alphabet?

We see in several illustrations an arabic-looking script on imperial currency (TTA), and several other places. We can make the assumption that that is probably either sylean, vilani, or galanglic.

Aslan canonically has two scripts: male and female.

Zhdantl has a written script, but we have no examples in canon that I am aware of.

Hiver written script has characters that fit in hexagons... and it is ideographic; there is no hiver spoken language. (But there is a sign language. (Illustrations of hiver tech in both hiver AM's, ct and tne)

K'Kree have a written language, but again no examples are shown. Judging from the scribe holding the brush in one photo, I suspect it to bbe a somewhat flowing script. Or something similar to japanese/chinese.

Solomani use the romman alphabet, as well as japanese and chinese ideographic and syllabaric sets.
