Wikipedia:WikiProject Writing systems

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Writing systems. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; whilst by no means mandatory, it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page, register your name on the Participants list and review this Project page. All contributions to articles and ideas for further development of this project are welcome. See this subpage for information about quality assessment of articles in this project.

This article is a child project of WikiProject Linguistics. For more information on WikiProjects, please see WikiProjects and WikiProject best practices.

Title
WikiProject – Writing systems

This WikiProject aims primarily to provide Wikipedia (en) with a consistent treatment for each writing system and general information relating to the study of writing systems. Many writing systems already have extensive pages, and the systematic information on those pages is not presented in a consistent way. A main purpose of this WikiProject is to present that information consistently, that many notable writing systems are documented, and to ensure that each of the major subject areas relevant to each is covered, at least briefly.

Note: the abbreviation WS may be used on this project page as a shorthand way to mean "writing system".

Scope
This project covers all articles describing writing systems, their individual symbols, their relationships with language, culture, and art, as well as their development in these areas.

 * 28) Irtapil I'm fascinated phonetic writing systems. I don't know if this is fitting or ironic given I always hated spelling as a kid. It still feels like English uses vowels and double letters at random. I know it's not true mathematical randomness; there's a history behind it. So, "chaotic" is the more exact term for why i cannot predict what i need to do to make the angry red squiggle under the word go away.) I like that Arabic expresses all of the hard bits from English spelling as optional diacritics. If they'd tried to teach me Australian English symaltaniously simultaneously in Arabic, Devanagari, and Latin scripts, i think i might have learnt more of English. (talk) 10:49, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Example Article structure and format
The appropriate infoboxes should be included (see template section)


 * Introduction: Cover the type of writing system (Alphabet, Syllabary, Abjad, etc.), which languages it transcribes, and its time period. Also cover information which is needed in order to understand further information in the article (i.e. something is not always the case, or the writing system has different names).
 * History: Cover the previous writing system(s) that it descended from and how it happened. Alternatively, if it is artificial, describe the creator(s) and how they made it.
 * Description: A chart of the writing system is given, as well as specifics about how it is written (printed and handwritten styles, whether it goes left to right or right or left, etc.)
 * Usage: When and where it is used, political situation, etc.
 * Unicode Specify any ranges the writing system possesses in unicode.

Classification and hierarchy schemes
Writing systems can be discussed in a classified hierarchy.
 * Typology. With this we may describe whether a writing system is an abjad or an alphabet or an abugida or a syllabary.
 * Identity. With this we may distinguish one script from another: Devanagari script is different from Arabic script and Bengali script and Latin script.
 * Subsidiarity. With this we may look at alphabets as subsets of a script. The Urdu alphabet, the Persian alphabet, the Arwi alphabet, and the Sindhi alphabet are all subsets of the Arabic script. Note that the word "alphabet" is typological (distinct from "abjad" in that it writes vowels) as well as subsidiary.
 * Constituency. With this we may describe the individual letters and diacritical marks and characters that make up an alphabet or other type of writing system.

Goals
Common goals and protocols suggested for the project to be documented here.
 * 1) Standardise all writing system articles, utilize Infobox Writing system
 * 2) Improve the general quality of writng systems articles...bring a few to good and featured status
 * 3) Start a portal
 * 4) Include complimentary visual images of each writing system in its article (at least one per article)

Project Tasklists
Here is an organized list of current projects, jobs, etc. which this project aims to accomplish, or at least aid in the success thereof.

To-Do list

 * Rate and assess the importance of all articles pertaining to writing systems. The progress is recorded and centralized at WikiProject Writing systems/Assessment.
 * Tag every article about a writing system with WikiProject Writing systems, and fill in the appropriate variables.
 * Hello Project members, I just created Category:Buddhism articles needing non-English scripting support & specialist attention and List:Buddhism articles needing non-English scripting support & specialist attention as a tentative rally to centralize this function. I would appreciate any advice on how I may improve it or ensure that the appropriate forums are aware of it so that it is workable and realises is functionality.  B9 hummingbird hovering (talk • contribs) 12:04, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I apologize if this is not appropriate, I am a fairly new member and have a good deal of interest in furthering scientific inquiry into the Wadi el-Hol Script. I keep having cited edits reverted because of a potentially overzealous editor, and I would like to solicit any qualified persons to either help justify or help debunk my citations/his vandalism.  Please join us on the convoluted discussion page if you are qualified in Ancient Semitic languages or Arabic . Msheflin (talk) 15:00, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Article naming convention
The term 'script' is used with four meanings: 'Alphabet' is used for national instantiations of a segmental script, usually with a defined sorting order: The terms abjad and abugida, though often used in the text, are considered jargon and inappropriate for a title.
 * Script
 * 1) A general segmental writing system, as opposed to its local instantiations:
 * 2) *Latin script (or Roman script; cf. Latin alphabet, roman type)
 * 3) *Arabic script (cross-linguistic; cf. Arabic alphabet)
 * 4) *Georgian scripts
 * 5) In the plural for a family or geographic group of such scripts. 'Writing systems' conveys the same idea:
 * 6) *Brahmic scripts
 * 7) *Mesoamerican writing systems
 * 8) A calligraphic style. In many cases 'hand' may be used instead, and this may avoid confusion with other uses of the term 'script':
 * 9) *Nastaliq script or Nastaliq hand
 * 10) *Insular script
 * 11) *Seal script
 * 12) *Italic script (or Italic hand: cf. Chancery hand, italic type)
 * 13) A non-segmental writing system, especially one which is logographic, mixed, or of unknown character:
 * 14) *Maya script ('hieroglyphs' is widely considered a misnomer)
 * 15) *Khitan small script
 * 16) *Yi script (syllabic and logographic variants)
 * Alphabet
 * Latin alphabet (for Latin)
 * English alphabet
 * Arabic alphabet (for Arabic)
 * Urdu alphabet
 * Russian alphabet
 * Thai alphabet

Exceptions may be made where a unambiguous conventional name exists, and thus 'script', 'alphabet', or 'syllabary' is not necessary:
 * Syllabary
 * Cherokee syllabary
 * Vai syllabary
 * Exceptions
 * Cyrillic
 * Hangul
 * Hiragana
 * Fraktur
 * Devanagari
 * Cuneiform
 * Rongorongo
 * Egyptian hieroglyphs
 * Note: "hieroglyphics" is deprecated.

Exceptions may also occur where a different technical term is widely used: Modifiers may be used for subtypes or other cases of disambiguation:
 * Canadian Aboriginal syllabics
 * Chinese characters
 * Carolingian minuscule
 * Pitman shorthand
 * Modifiers
 * Classical Mongolian alphabet
 * Romanian Cyrillic alphabet
 * Taiwanese kana
 * Cree syllabics

Names should include some indication that the article concerns a character, letter, or grapheme and not a word.
 * Characters
 * Kra (letter) – 'Latin' is generally understood
 * Pi (letter) – like most Greek letters, pi is used in conjunction with the Latin script
 * Pe (Cyrillic) – 'Cyrillic' cannot be a language, and so is unambiguous
 * Pe (Persian letter) – 'Pe (Persian)' could be about a Persian word pe
 * Ka (kana) – as opposed to Ka (Cyrillic)
 * Zeta – the Greek letter is the WP:primary topic, as any word zeta derives from the letter
 * Radical (Chinese character)
