I dunno if these are living > or dead scripts. Aegean and Ugaritic are extinct. Scholars wanting to include sections of a document using those scripts are not :-) But I never saw a list numbered in Ugaritic on a tablet or anything else. Apparently, Ugaritic numbers were usually written as words (3 = "three"). Aegean is more problematic since it does have glyphs for numbers and those appeared in artifacts. Shavian is a recently constructed script for English. I have never ever seen a live example of shavian script nor have I ever met anyone able to write/read it. PS: Ugaritic is the very first alphabet of human history. The order of the letters in that alphabet still influence a large part of the world. </Daniel>
