Description

Deutsch: Schriftsysteme der Welt
Die Karte zeigt die geographische Verbreitung der heute noch benutzen Schriftsysteme auf. Da sich diese meist nicht an politische Grenzen halten, wurde auch hier davon abgewichen, eine der üblichen Darstellungen auf Basis einer politischen Weltkarte zu erzeugen. Um gleichzeitig einen Eindruck von den jeweiligen Schriftsystemen zu vermitteln, wurde - was liegt näher - der Begriff "Wikipedia" in die diversen Systeme transkribiert.

English: Writing Systems of the World

Español: Sistemas de escritura del mundo.

Français : Systèmes d'écriture dans le monde
La carte mondiale montre la répartition géographique des systèmes d‘écriture toujours en usage aujourd‘hui. Comme ces systèmes ne s‘arrêtent pour la plupart pas aux frontières politiques, la carte ci-dessus s‘éloigne des représentations politiques habituelles. La mention «Wikipedia» a été transcrite dans les différents groupes d‘écriture afin de les visualiser.
