Endangered Alphabets

The Endangered Alphabets Project is a really interesting project where one artist is working to bring attention to the fact that not only are there are only 100 written alphabets for the over 6000 spoken languages that exist today, but that as many as half of these spoken languages will be extinct by the end of this century.

His painstaking work to carve these written languages into wood is a testament to their artistry and beauty.
