Wang Alphabet

 

An extremtly difficult to learn pictographic alphabet with aproximitly 300,000 characters. Wang scholars insist that each and every character is a visual expression of the object or concept that the character discribes. To refute this non-wang scholars generally point out that the characters for the words "square" and "circle" look like a guy skiing and a mouse on fire rather then, I don't know, A SQUARE AND A CIRCLE.

 

Oddly enough throughout the ages and realms of Battal it is common knowledge how to write "Where is the libary?" in the wang alphabet.
