Only 9 days of my moving sale left! I've reduced prices still more, and added tables that are the best Alphabets work I've done. Find them at endangeredalphabets.com/2025/08/25/mov… . Please take advantage of this opportunity--and also make it easier for me to downsize and move! Thanks so much.

Check out the ambitions and activities of our new Script Keepers Network at endangeredalphabets.com/2025/02/26/lau…

The Tibetan script is more than writing - it’s a sacred art form. As its daily use declines, efforts to preserve it are more vital than ever. If you're interested, join the Script Keepers Network or go to our interactive Atlas - links in bio #tibetanscript #scriptkeepersnetwork

Just got this notification that academia.edu has used AI to make a podcast of an essay I wrote 45 years ago. They do NOT have my permission. Cease and desist, academic.edu. Cease and desist, blast you.

When I started the Endangered Alphabets Project, the first book I read was Amalia Gnanadesikan’s The Writing Revolution, and it was the most valuable thing I could have read. The second edition is now out, and I advise everyone interested in language and writing to order it .
