Nobel is a pictographic language based on some 120 basic signs and many arrows of different shape that are mutually combined It is named after Alfred Nobel 1833 1896 Swedish chemist and industrialist inventor of dynamite who left most of his fortune to a foundation that annually gives awards to individuals whose work is characterized as greatest benefit to mankind known as Nobel Prizes Besides the awards for sciences and literature significantly Alfred Nobel included among others a prize for peace that besides individuals also organizations may obtain Although it would be utopian to believe that human conflicts could be avoided if communication tools would improve the emergence of universal languages certainly cannot make the situation worse Universal languages are a communication tool which makes it possible for people of no common language to communicate They are graphic but they should be distinguished from picture writings which only passively offer information on some event or give messages Universal languages have more similarity with the sign languages that are used for people who lost hearing or the sign language of American Plains Indians who spoke different languages and could communicate by sign language that they developed However written language has some advantages over hand sign languages in that one can communicate at a great distance particularly today in the age of fax and computer communications and that one can leave messages for posterity This is not the place to argue for or against the promise of written sign languages Graphic written sign languages exist today and the best known are Chinese characters used in China and Japan The problem with Chinese characters is that there are too many characters and it is difficult to learn so many It takes years for children in China and Japan to learn so many different characters.
