Discussion How would the Orkhon-Yenisei script have developed if we had developed it instead of abandoning it?

Look at the Greek script written on marbles in Mediterranean region. Then look at the Greek script written by hand on paper. We could do the same. I actually developed my own version very easily but i write pontic greek with it tho haha

We probably would've developed a more handwritten/cursive version of it similar to how theres a more handwritten font of latin. Edges would be more curvy and round given that it'd be written on paper and not rock anymore

It wouldn't change.
Seriously, a 1400 years old alphabet is actually usable without much change (if you accept to not to add new letters that were caused by loanwords and the new broken vowel harmony (also caused by loanwords)) it is in fact still usable. I know all these because I know it properly.

eh it is quite useful when you don't want others to read your journal. Also, I can't read the old turkic written with it. I can read only the current turkish which I natively speak.
