This book explores a range of alphabet systems. Although this book attempts to have as wide as possible coverage, the reality is that it only touches a proportion of the available language systems. The book considers the distinctions between different types of alphabet systems and syllabaries. Additionally, the book highlights the cultural significance of particular language elements which are often overlooked when studying linguistics. Readers are exposed to the multicultural facets of language and language systems across the globe.
