Tyrian writing systems
Throughout the lands of Tyria, there are letters of various kinds used in road signs, statutes, banners, or other surfaces. One alphabet, resebling runic alphabets and phoenician alphabet, can often be translineated into English.

Canthan writing systems
Writing which resembles (and may be) chinese characters can be seen in Cantha.

Elonian writing systems
Writing which appears to be egyptian hieroglyphs can be found on buildings in Istan and The Desolation, and on the sails of the "swan ships" in Kourna. Writing in a second script, resembling Arabic and Hebrew alphabet script, as well as the various Sanskrit scripts, can be found in Istan, Vabbi and the Realm of Torment. It is currently not known if any Elonian writing can be translineated.
