"ee" and "oo" around the world
Glyphs for /i/ and /u/ in 56 Ancient and Unfamiliar writing systems. Green shows the “ee” vowel, Blue shows the “oo” vowel. Glyphs are ranked left-to-right then top-to-bottom by decreasing complexity, as measured using Spatial Frequency.
Glyphs drawn from a systematic review of Daniels, PT & Bright W (Eds). (1996). The World's Writing Systems. Oxford: Oxford University Press. Glyph Guessing experiments and full Spatial Frequency analyses are reported in Turoman N & Styles SJ (2017 forthcoming). ‘Glyph Guessing for 'ee' and 'oo': Spatial frequency information and sound symbolic matching in ancient and unfamiliar scripts’. Royal Society Open Science. Glyphs and Glyph Guessing Norms available in Turoman N & Styles SJ (2017). ‘Ancient & Unfamiliar Letter-Pairs for /i/ and /u/ with norms for letter guessing’. Open Science Framework. doi:10.17605/OSF.IO/XUFMD.
