i wonder how does cyrillic look to japanese people, it's probably as alien looking as it is to everyone else who aren't slavic
-
@lina The same as the Greek looks to you, I suppose. Some shapes and letters are familiar but not quite.

@lina Oh, and since lots of legacy software add more space for multibyte characters to properly fit hieroglyphs, Cyrillic text often looks with huge gaps between letters, в о т к а к -т о т а к.

@mint ya but greek doesn't really look alien to me personally, it looks like a mix of cyrillic and like armenian or georgian alphabets, letters are too wavy

Aren't the kana in Japanese kinda unique in that words cannot be easily recognized by their shape at a glance and that is the reason they use a mixture of phonetic kana and Chinese ideograms?
There's also the matter of no spaces. (Greeks also didn't use spaces but Romans did)
That could imply that other scripts might look a lot more different to native Japanese.
