The Osage are a Midwestern Native American Siouan-speaking tribe of the Great Plains who originated in the Ohio River valley in the area of present day Arkansas and Missouri.

Osage /ˈoʊseɪdʒ/[2] is a Siouan language spoken by the Osage people of Oklahoma. The last native speaker, Lucille Roubedeaux, died ca. 2005.[3]

In February 2014 a conference was held by the script's creator, Herman Mongrain Lookout, and the staff at the Osage Nation Language Department, along with UCS expert Michael Everson. They settled on a more detailed representation of the sounds in Osage and accounted for and documented changes in the Osage language. The result of the conference was a script reform; this included introduction of lower case, abolition of two ligatures, and the addition of at least one new character. The reformed alphabet is phonemic.[2]

The rarely seen Bhaikṣukī (or Bhaikshuki) script was used in Odantapuri, North India, to write Buddhist texts around 11th–12th century AD. It is clearly Brahmic, and has a calligraphic charm coming from the use of a thick nibbed pen, with distinct “arrowheads” upon many letters. Indirect source for this information is Anshuman Pandey’s Unicode proposal. At this stage I am just presenting the manuscript letters; later I shall develop a font and/or revision based on the essentials of this script.

The Zhang Zhung culture (pronounced shang shung in the modern Lhasa dialect) is an ancient culture that flourished in the western and northern parts of Tibet before the introduction of Buddhism into the country during the 7th century. For a long time there was little concrete evidence of the existence of the Zhang Zhang kingdom described in Tibetan sources, and it was regarded as semi-legendary by some Western scholars, but in recent years archaeological investigation has confirmed the existence of an extensive early Tibetan culture that has been identified with that of the Zhang Zhung.

The Tangut script (Chinese: 西夏文 xī xià wén) was a logographic writing system, used for writing the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia Dynasty

According to the latest count, 5863 Tangut characters are known, excluding variants

According to the History of Song (1346), the script was designed by the high-ranking official Yeli Renrong under Western Xia Emperor Li Yuanhao's supervision in 1036

Government schools were founded to teach the script. Official documents were written in the script (with diplomatic ones written bilingually). A great number of Buddhist scriptures were translated from Tibetan and Chinese, and block printed in the script
