I vote Greek. It's very pretty and not-so intimidating, due to it's proximity to Roman script.

I like the Japanese script a lot. I love the hiragana, the kanji almost as much and the katakana is alright. I suppose I will get used to them but right now I don't feel they fit in as much. That's sort of the point though. ;p

Still, the Japanese script is really beautiful!

As an engineer/mathematician, I love the Greek alphabet.

I would also vote for Arabic, Korean, Mandarin, Japanese, Georgian, and the Bengali script (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengali_script).

Arabic, Runic and Tengwar (if it counts)

To me the most beautiful script is Arabic. Its gracefully flowing form on the page is art and I like the art that has been made from the script itself.

Obviously these are just gorgeous, but could even a native speaker actually read these? Is the pear the Shahada?

Sorry, Gamauyun, I couldn't tell you of the Shahadah. I know the Arabic script only from studying Farsi years ago. I'm sure many Arabic speakers could tell you what they say.
