This article does not cite any sources, only one person has contributed to it, and upon googling no online sources independent of Wikipedia were found that could confirm its existence. Either this alleged writing system is too exotic to have any online documentation even in English, or it is a hoax. I strongly believe it is the latter. --ざくら木 17:32, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete A primitive writing system is use before the Christianization of the country, & still in use in the early 20th century? The hoax continues into Moksha language, where among the clever drawings [1] is a glyph for "matches", a well-known prehistoric household stand-by. As none of the other Uralic languages have anything even remotely analogous, this would if real be a widely known linguistic curiosity . I suppose Mokshan numeric system should be added to the Afd. As User:Numulunj pilgae is the only significant contributor to a range of related articles, there is probably more content to be examined. DGG (talk) 02:29, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
