What happens when we get to the end of the Greek alphabet? Do we adopt a spreadsheet type notation AA-AZ? Generation Alpha Alpha?
That's something for Gen Φ or Χ to worry about, sometime in the year 2420. If humanity makes it that far, it feels like a very minor concern.
More likely we just won't be using this archaic technology for generational cohorts by then, because we'll be using Esperanto or Universal Standard Hindi or Mandarin.
Reminder that esperanto is a bad IAL due to being based almost entirely on European languages, having a phoneme Inventory based off one of the languages Zamenhof happened to speak and having an agglutinative grammar that would be unfamiliar and difficult to many people
You clearly know much more than I do about it but yeah I always heard Esperanto was a poor attempt.
It's great as a European communal language for this reason.
As a bridge to an IAL it's significantly easier to train and maintain than the current standard of English.
That is true, but it should be branded as such, not as an international language, localized auxillary languages can be great, see Interslavic as an example
we started at X, so we could go back and do A-W
Then they get named after corporate sponsors.
Generation Mountain Dew® Baja Blast™
Generation Rockstar and Generation Monster will probably be at odds with each other... and themselves.
Don't worry.
We won't get that far.
Personally I vote for using Mkhedruli letters (for writing the Georgian language) solely because that script looks cool
How you gonna not provide an example?
I vote for cuneiform:
An avid cunnilinguist i see
They can switch to Cyrillic: az, buki, vedi, glagol', dobro... Then Futhark, and so on, there's no lack of alphabet systems out there. The preference for Greek is kind of lazy.
Actually there are greek numerals, which are basically the greek letters(with some weird additions)

So you can go up to any number you want.
probably hebrew
