If something is important, we write it down. Yet, approximately eighty-five per cent of the world's writing systems are on the verge of vanishing - not granted official status, not taught in schools, discouraged and dismissed. When a culture is forced to abandon its traditional script, everything it has written for hundreds of years, such as sacred texts, poems, letters, family recipes, legal documents, the collective experience, wisdom and identity of a people - is lost. This Atlas is about these writing systems, and the people who are trying to save them: from the ancient holy alphabets of the Middle East, now used only by tiny sects, to newly created African alphabets designed to keep cultural traditions alive in the twenty-first century, or a secret system used in one corner of China exclusively by women to record the songs and stories of their inner selves. This unique book profiles dozens of scripts and the cultures they encapsulate, offering glimpses of worlds unknown to us - and ways of saving them from vanishing entirely"--Back cover.- Subjects: Language obsolescence.; Writing.; Alphabet.; Graphemics.; Writing systems.;
