False writing systems
False writing systems are artificially constructed alphabets or scripts used (sometimes within the context of a false document) to convey a degree of verisimilitude. Examples of this include alien dialogue in comic strips, animated cartoons, graphic novels (such as Alan Moore's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and the Valérian and Laureline series), and video games.
