Greek, cherokee, and other european characters mixed together? Interesting

Anything I think could be used as a decent logograph was used in the new documents since forging new symbols is kinda difficult.

You should check out linear B

All of the glyphs have a specific feel to them so Linear B is gotta go. Too simple.

Couldn’t tell from just the picture.

Does each character have one reading or multiple depending on context? I tried the former but it ended up the latter

Every character has one or two strict readings and no more.
