Here’s an update on nushu, the special script that was used by women from Jiangyong County, in China’s Hunan Province. Efforts are being made to preserve knowledge about the language. Only a few women remain who can write and read the script. A museum is being built to collect and house the language’s artifacts. A publishing house is compiling a nushu dictionary. Researchers continue to look for the origins of the characters, which have been compared to inscriptions that are 3,000 years old. (via provenance: unknown)
