The Routledge Handbook of Scripts and Alphabets is a unique reference to the main scripts and alphabets of the world.

    • 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.
