Writing is the visible recording of language peculiar to the human species which enables the transmission of ideas over vast distances of time and space and is a prerequisite of complex civilization where and by whom writing was first developed remains unknown but scholars place the beginning of writing at 6000 B.C. The norm of writing is phonemic i.e. it attempts to symbolized all significant sounds of the language and no others. When the goal is established as one letter for one phoneme and vice versa the result is a complete alphabet. Few alphabets attain this phonemic ideal but some ancient ones e.g. Sanskrit and some modern new ones e.g. Finnish have been very successful. (jacket)
