    No no, it's a form of Japanese ;)

OBLANG NOTE:

    I like the Russian Futurist/Konstruktivist movement quite a bit --- the
music, the typographic design, the poetry, etc.. Much more radical than the
proto-Fascistic Italian Futurists. Many of the Russian Futurists were
Anarcho-Communists, Socialist Libertarians or Syndicalists --- and thus many were
slaughtered whole-sale by Stalin (a few survived by recanting or going to ground in
distant rural areas like the Cossack Urals, Azerbaijan * and even the Arctic
territories amongst the aboriginal Yakut people).

    *  intriguingly, the current Azerbaijani Latin alphabet has a very
distinctly odd "Futurist" look to it - very different from the surrounding regions'
Turkish Latin, Arabic or Cyrillic [i.e. it has upside-down 'e' like a schwa,
_X_ like Greek ks sound, _Q_ similar to the Greek chi (ch & kh sounds)]
    The only other alphabet in the world that has the upside-down 'e' is the
IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet, used by lexicographers and linguists).
And the upside-down 'e' is the most common letter and sound /ae/ in the
Azerbaijani language!
    Anar Rzayev, writer and member of Azerbaijani parliament, stated: "What
you call the upside-down 'e' dates back to early in our history. We kept it
even when we had the [Stalin-imposed] Cyrillic alphabet. Maybe it's stubbornness,
but it's a symbol of Azerbaijan.... An alphabet is a symbol of a country just
like a flag. Why do you think different alphabets have appeared in the first
place?"
