The Routledge Handbook of Scripts and Alphabets is a unique
reference to the main scripts and alphabets of the world.
The Handbook presents over 60 alphabets covering an enormous
scope of languages; from Amharic and Chinese to Thai and Cree. Full
script tables are given for every language and each entry is
accompanied by a detailed overview of its historical and linguistic
context.
New to this second edition:
- enhanced introduction discussing the basic principles and
strategies utilized by world writing systems
- expanded to include more writing systems
- improved presentation of non-Roman scripts.
- organised into ancient, contemporary and autochthonous writing
systems
- many new entries on fascinating and lesser-known writing
systems
This handy resource is the ideal reference for all students and
scholars of language and linguistics.
It has been brought to our attention that in some of the copies
of the book there is an alignment error in the tables for Cyrillic
Scripts (pages 88-90) and Roman Scripts (pages 140-44). Please
contact us at [email protected] to receive replacement
copies of the corrected tables, free of charge.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.
