1485: Scripts for Multiple Languages Jan 5, 2019

Some writing systems, such as the Georgian Script or the Hebrew Script are often talked about only as they relate to the languages that bear the same name, but this is often misleading. For instance, all Kartvelian languages use the Georgian Script, and while sometimes this is just because of external political factors—such as in this case how most speakers of Kartvelian languages live in Georgia—often the scripts themselves are better for representing certain sounds. It is rare for a script to be used for only one language, but this too does happen, such as with Armenian Script, (excluding historical uses) pictured below.
