As spoken, signed, and invented languages move from discourse to being physically recorded, many decisions are made. Additionally, over time, writing systems can change drastically for a variety of reasons, including technological innovations, material of choice,
outside influence, and underlying language changes. Regardless of the fluctuation of a writing script, it does systematize certain cultural aspects, including education, access to literacy, and transmission of knowledge. </div>
