	Latin alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is generally held that the Latins adopted the western variant of the Greek alphabet in the 7th century BC from Cumae, a Greek colony in southern Italy.
		The Latin alphabet spread from Italy, along with the Latin language, to the lands surrounding the Mediterranean Sea with the expansion of the Roman Empire.
		As late as 1492, the Latin alphabet was limited primarily to the languages spoken in western, northern and central Europe.

	Writing Mongol in Uighur Script
		Script is written in a continuous pen stroke for the length of a word, with accents added after the word is complete, and requires that each letter accommodate the letters before and after it.
		This is a script alphabet, which means the pen should write a continuous line, for the most part, from the beginning to the end of the word.
		The Mongol Script was adopted from Uighur in 1204.

	W3C I18N FAQ: Script direction and languages
		Script: A collection of characters for displaying written text, all of which have a common characteristic that justifies their consideration as a distinct set.
		Knowing the directionality of text, based on the script(s) to be used, is important to web designers and authors, because right-to-left text can be more complicated (for beginners) to work with and the organization and directionality of the page layout are affected.
		Scripts have a writing direction, and so languages written in a particular script, will be written with the direction of that script.

	UAX #24: Script Names
		This facilitates the use of the Script property for common tasks such as regular expressions, but means that some characters that are definite members of a given script by their graphology nevertheless are assigned one of the generic values.
		The script property is useful in regular expression syntax for easy specification of spans of text that consist of a single script or mixture of scripts.
		Although Braille is not a script in the same sense as Latin or Greek, it is given a script value in [Data24].

	Script Mixing
		That this was not the rationale for the "Latin soft sign" being included in Latin script is proven by the fact that there is no corresponding crossover for the hard sign into Latin: Zhuang borrowed the Cyrillic soft sign into its Latin-based script, but not the Cyrillic hard sign.
		Mixed script sorting is in any case highly variable: while historically Greek and Latin script words have been kept separate, the recent trend in Greek scholarship is to weave the Greek words into the Latin sorting order via implicit transliteration.
		Latin letters are used to transliterate phones which the linguist feels the Greek script cannot handle.

	Ancient Scripts: Latin
		Consequently, Western European nations all wrote using the Latin alphabet, and with European imperialism in the last 500 years, the Latin alphabet (with local modifications) is probably the most ubiquitous writing system in the world.
		As Latium (the region where Latin is spoken and Rome is located) and Etruria (the region where Etruscan is spoken) are adjacent to each other, the very first examples of the Latin alphabet resemble the Etruscan alphabet.
		Similarly, the Latins "resurrected" the letters O and D, which were not used in Etruscan but kept for tradition.

		Script Transliteration is the general process of converting characters from one script to another.
		For example, given a script that converts lowercase ASCII characters from Latin script to Katakana script, it is convenient to first (1) separate input base characters and accents, and then (2) convert uppercase to lowercase.
		For the general script transforms, a common technique for reversibility is to use extra accents to distinguish between letters that may not be otherwise distinguished.

	Roman Script
		It is doubtless that the alphabet derives from the Greek script (either via Etruscan or not), particularly to its Western varieties, which were used by Greek colonists in Italy.

	The Baseline Table
		If a Latin script of a particular size is specified as the dominant run, then all Latin glyphs of all sizes will be aligned on the roman baseline, and all Kanji glyphs will be aligned on the lower ideographic baseline defined for use with Latin text.
		The hanging baseline is the default for Devanagari, the ideographic baseline is the default for Han, and the roman baseline is the default for both Latin and Cyrillic.
		The roman baseline is the default for both the Latin and Cyrillic scripts, and its position lies between the hanging and ideographic baselines.

	Pravapis.org - Belarusian language - Belarusian Latin Script (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Although the first known book in Latin appears within the present Belarusian borders in the beginning of the 11th century, writing in Belarus remains predominantly in the Cyrillic script until mid-16th century.
		Due to the domination of the Greek Orthodox church in Belarus in early Middle ages, the writing standards remained strongly influenced by the sacred Old Church Slavonic language -- the language of the Bible and liturgy in the Slavonic Greek Orthodox tradition.
		Hence, as far as the modern Belarusian language and literature are concerned, they certainly originated in the Latin script.

	Special thoughts for special scripts
		Many Latin script fonts would like to use 'init', 'medi', 'calt', etc. but none of these features is turned on by Uniscribe for Latin.
		Thus if a font supports latin, greek or cyrillic then digits and punctuation might find themselves in any of those three scripts and all features which apply to any such character should be present in all scripts.
		Latin fonts can generally fit in a single byte encoding with no (or few) font tables.

	Modified Isaac's Transliteration
		Any Script of any language is a form of transliteration in the context of : that there is a shift from the language as heared to be converted into visual symbols to symbolize the meaning and/or the pronounciation of the word.
		Thus, the Coptic script perse could be named as a transliteration to Egyptian Language.The Coptic script is known as a strange development of Egyptian language that has emerged due to several factors.
		Isaac confirms that the language is never the script it is the grammar then the vocubulary, so introduction of a new transliteration is not a harm it is an addition that proves the elasticity and capability of a Egyptian to cope with time changes.

		This Kurrent was accepted as the "primary" script in all Prussian schools in 1915.
		After all, German children had to learn eight different alphabets (Fraktur, Kurrent, Antiqua and Latin Script, upper and lower case each) and after 1941 this was reduced to four, thus making learning much easier on the children.

		The fact of the matter is that the difficulties of the current script prevent the majority of Persian speaking people from studying the treasures of their own Persian literature.
		We have to keep reminding ourselves that the highest priority for a script is to facilitate communication among people, and to make written material readily available to all with as little effort as possible expended in learning how to read.
		The Latin alphabet is already familiar to most residents of Persian-speaking countries and the whole planet in general.

	UTN #26: On the Encoding of Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and Han
		Mere historic relatedness is insufficient reason to unify scripts, however, as Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic can ultimately all trace their roots back to Phoenician, and Phoenician itself is then related to Aramaic and all its descendants, from Hebrew and Arabic to farflung outliers like Sogdian, Uighur, and even Mongolian.
		And rather than simply adopting the script at one point and then evolving it off in some independent direction, the typical pattern for each of these cultures was over the centuries to keep adding to the store of Han ideographs they used by continued borrowing of large new sets of them directly from China.
		Unlike the case for Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic, there is a longstanding cultural tradition in Japan, China, and Vietnam, of viewing "Chinese characters" as being of shared identity throughout the region.

	Croatian Glagolitic Script
		It is important to emphasize that the earliest known texts of Croatian literature written in the Latin script (14th century) have traces of Church-slavonic influences.
		As is well known, the Latin had been the privileged language in religious ceremonies in the Catholic Church until the 2nd Vatican Synod held in 1962-1965, when it was decided to allow vernacular national languages to be used in the Catholic liturgy instead of Latin.
		Investigations of the oldest forms of the Glagolitic Script performed by Dr. Marica Cuncic in her Ph.D. thesis (1985) have led to the discovery of triangular form of the Glagolitic (with triangular shapes occurring in most of the letters), dating from the 9th and 10th century.

		What followed was two years as exciting as painful of a few very late nights each month spent head down on dictionary and grammar, driven by the translator’s passion for classics and a desire to complete a challenging and deeply satisfying personal project.
