Also nice the calligraphy used in Germany until 1941, the Sütterlinschrift

But one of the best is arabic calligraphy (I think that I can even read it ¬¬)

Hmmm, since when handwriting is called cursive?

Not all handwriting is cursive. Mine, for example.

Yeah, Russian cursive is terrible. It's so bad than on a rare occaion I have to handwrite anything, I don't really expect it to be read by anyone.

Does Russian "chinchilla" begin with a ч? Or a ш?

If it starts with a "ch" sound as in "ч," chinchilla would look like this:

Well yeah, but it's not a calligraphy, it's just bad writing (and cursed word).

This is actually a thing. When learning calligraphy, it was one of the exercises we did. If you have good enough control of your hand and pen, then all strokes should be the same length, slanted the same way, and separated by the same spacing. When you manage this apparent “unreadable” thing, it means you nailed it!

The example below comes from this site (not mine)
