I am learning to speak Hittite, or more accurately Nesite. It is quite similar to German, English and other major European languages. I like Hittite. I am originally from Turkey, and believe that I originate from the Hittites and that I should learn my ancestor's language. Mek asmi lalan Nesli= translation= I like much the Nesite language. Memami ya hatrami Nesli= I speak and write Nesite.
Prof. Johnson (Epigraphic Survey) here uses a brush to render glyphs in "linear" style. Many of the really interesting examples of the Book of the Dead also utilize "semi-cursive" style, evidently (to me) written with a carved rush that must have behaved rather like a Zig or Itoya felt calligraphy marker. Taking up the challenge by Dr. Fischer to explore semi-cursive, please let me ask that if any others are doing so, please consider comparing notes, as I have been investigating it for decades.
