	Ancient Scripts: Akkadian
		Logograms are written in capitals, often transcribing Sumerian words, but also sometimes Akkadian if the logogram has more meanings in Akkadian than in Sumerian.
		In fact, the logogram KÁ; represents the word babu ("gate"), DINGIR resolves to ilum ("god"), and RA is the genitive case in Sumerian for dingir.
		Note that the logogram for "king", šarrum in Akkadian, is transliterated as LUGAL, which is Sumerian for "king".

		A logogram, or logograph, is a single grapheme which represents a word or a morpheme (a meaningful unit of language).
		Typical Egyptian usage is to augment a logogram, which may potentially represent several words with different pronunciations, with a determinative to narrow down the meaning, and a phonetic component to specify the pronunciation.
		Languages which have imported Chinese logograms, such as Japanese and Korean (which both inflect extensively) cannot accurately describe their languages with logograms alone, and a separate alphabetic or syllabic system is needed anyway.

	Logogram

		Determinatives are logograms themselves and are not read but serve only to indicate the semantic group, such as gods, countries, birds, fish, verbs of motion, verbs of building, objects made of wood, objects made of stone, and so on, to which the logogram belongs.
		In modern alphabetic writing in English, for example, the logogram “2” is read “two.” When the ordinal number is referred to, however, the phonetic complement “d” is attached and the logogram, plus complement “2nd,” is read “second.” In this example, for the first time, signs are used for purely phonetic (or nonlogographic) purposes.
		The use of syllabic writing has the further advantage that the logograms do not have to be interpreted by the reader because the words are written out unambiguously in the phonetic script.

		Logograms are composed of visual elements arranged in a variety of ways, rather than using the segmental phoneme principle of construction used in alphabetic languages.
		Another feature of logograms is that a single logogram may be used by a plurality of languages to represent words with similar meanings.
		There exist various input methods for entering logograms, either by breaking them up into their costituent parts such as with the Cangjie or Wubi method of typing Chinese, or using phonetic systems such as Bopomofo or Pinyin where the word is entered as pronounced and then selected from a list of logograms matching it.

	Pic-Logo: Pictogram-Logogram
		Some writers define logograms as non-phonograms and do not distinguish logograms from ideograms since ideograms are also whole word or concept signs.
		Logograms are not sound signs because they can have as many phonetic interpretations as there are languages.
		The problem with this definition is that some of our logograms such as our number signs and mathematical signs only seem arbitrary.

	What are Logograms?
		Logograms are symbols used in writing language that stand for an entire word or morpheme, a meaningful unit of speech.
		Logograms are characterized by being unrelated to the pronunciation of the word they represent; they cannot be sounded out, as words written with an alphabet may be.
		As logogrammatical writing systems evolve, the logograms often become so reduced or stylized that their meaning is no longer immediately obvious from their appearance.
