View attachment 518657
Similarly to religion, the usage of writing systems tells us much of cultural connections in the world, it tells us also of civilizational divides. While Europe is divided mainly into Latin, Cyrillic and Greek-writing regions, Africa shows also a variety of local scripts such as Tifinagh, Mande, Songhai, Coptic, Nubian and Geez; Himiaritic script is spread along much of Yemen and Zanj as well as the Horn of Africa. The Middle East sees two main scripts, Syriac and Pahlavi, while Central Asia sees Sgodian (Blue), Manichean, Turkic (gold-brown) and Mongol.
Of course, India has many writing systems, as does SE Asia
