<h4>Latin</h4>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Latin (Roman) is a European bicameral alphabet, written left-to-right. The
|
||
most popular writing system in the world. Used for over 3,000 languages
|
||
including Latin and Romance languages (Italian, French, Portuguese, Spanish
|
||
and Romanian), Germanic languages (English, Dutch, German, Nordic languages),
|
||
Finnish, Malaysian, Indonesian, Filipino, Visayan languages, Turkish,
|
||
Azerbaijani, Polish, Somali, Vietnamese, and many others. Derived from Western
|
||
Greek, attested in Rome in the 7th century BCE. In the common era, numerous
|
||
European languages adopted the Latin script along with Western Christian
|
||
religion, the script disseminated further with European colonization of the
|
||
Americas, Australia, parts of Asia, Africa and the Pacific. New letters,
|
||
ligatures and diacritical marks were gradually added to represent the sounds
|
||
of various languages. Read more on

|
||
(250 million users). Used for various languages across Eurasia and is used as

||
earlier creation of the Glagolitic script. Sometimes attributed to Clement of
|
||
Ohrid, a student of Saint Cyril’s. Initially used for Old Church Slavonic.
|
||
Reformed in 1708 by Russian tsar Peter the Great. Extended by the Soviet Union
|
||
in the 20th century to write over 50 languages throughout Eastern Europe and

<h4>Greek</h4>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Greek (<span class="autonym">Ελληνικά</span>) is a European bicameral
|
||
alphabet, written left-to-right (11 million users). Used to write the Greek
|
||
language since the 8th century BCE. Also used to write other languages like
|
||
Urum, Albanian Tosk, and Balkan Gagauz Turkish. Some symbols are also used in
|
||
scientific notation. Derived from Phoenician. First “true alphabet”, with
|
||
distinct letters for consonants and vowels. Standardized in the 4th century
|
||
BCE by Eucleides. Has 24 letters. Some letter variants (sigma: σ/ς) have
|
||
positional significance in the Greek language, other variants only differ in
|
||
meaning in scientific notation (e.g. pi: π/ϖ). The Greek language used to be
|
||
written in polytonic spelling, with three accents on vowels. In 1982, Greece
|
||
introduced monotonic spelling with a single diacritic. Needs software support
|
||
for complex text layout (shaping). Read more on
