Abstract:

Now in paperback, "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.
