False writing system

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

False writing systems are artificially constructed alphabets or scripts used (sometimes within the context of a false document) to convey a degree of concealed verisimilitude. Examples of this include, most probably, the script in the Codex Seraphinianus and possibly the Voynich manuscript and alien dialogue in comic strips and graphic novels (such as Alan Moore's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and the Valérian and Laureline series).
