Looking at
the graph, there are five categories involved in the worldwide writing system namely
logographic, abjad, abjuda, alphabetic and syllabic.
For Logographic, one character will be equal to one word, for example Chinese uses the
Logographic system. Furthermore,a common writing system can be used by languages such as
Chinese and Japanese.
For Logographic, one character will be equal to one word. This system could be used by
languages such as Chinese or Japanese which are different in spoken forms.
In Ajad,1 character resembles a consonant sound sort of Arabic and moreover, first type of
sound-based writing system based on ajad then for ajuda 1 character will be equal to 1
consonant combined with 1 vowel can for example indian and Devanagari.
With the next system, 1 character of Ajad resembles a consonant sound and this is a
first type of sound-based writing system and an obvious example is Arabic.
Additionally, one character equals to one consonant plus one vowel, it is the third main
writing system, Abjuda, and an example of Abjuda is Indian Devanagari.
The final writing system is Syllabic system where each syllable represents a syllable sound
used in languages such as the Japanese Kana.
Around the world, the above are the main writing systems, common in many countries.
Task 2
As society develops, languages are gradually formed to reach common goals. Popular
languages such as English, Spanish, German, and many others are gradually becoming
more widely used. This also causes fear among many people about the decline in the
use of lesser spoken languages, and countries are also developing policies to protect
those languages. My opinion will be expressed in the following essay.
I would suggest that the issue merits but also it is a careful decision. My opinion
With historical value, the protection of minority languages prevents people in this
country to forget their origin. For an obvious instance, Han ideogram is a
historical writing system of Vietnamese in the past and now is replaced by
Vietnamese, but it still represents the history in Vietnam and being noted in
educational books for Vietnamese.
On the other hand, there are certain limitation when it comes to over-protection of minority
languages. Obviously, being too protective of the language will make that country unable to
integrate with other countries and being difficult to communicate to develop the country;
therefore, then the country will lose the opportunity to develop, integrate and gradually fall into
difficulties because of the lack of trade, economy, tourism, diplomacy, and negotiations that
bring benefits. multiculturalism will gradually disappear, difficult to develop common culture and
difficult to expand labor resources for that country
On the other hand, there is a certain limitation when it comes to the over-protection of
minority languages. Obviously, being too protective of the language will make that
country unable to integrate with other countries and communicate to develop the
country; therefore, the country will lose the opportunity to develop and globalize in the
world. This comes down to the fact that countries should promulgate policies that
balance major languages and minor languages. This might result in an optimistic
scenario for countries.
In conclusion, the protection of a minority language of countries is extremely important for the
cultural history of each country, and it should be a careful decision due to the fact that
overprotection also causes economic and cultural barriers to integration in the modern era.
