The diagram gives information about the five major writing systems applied throughout the world: the Logographic, Abjad, Abjuda, Alphabetic and Syllabic.
Overall, most writing systems are based on sounds.
The Abjad is the first type of sound-based writing system to be used in the world. Each character of this system represents a consonant sound, Arabic, for example. The second system is the Abjuda which is utilized in Indian Devanagari. In this one, a character represents a consonant and a vowel. Another is the Alphabetic, used in English, each character stands for one sound (vowel or consonant). Noticeably, the exact match of spelling and pronunciation is not inevitably manageable. Finally, the Syllabic, used in Japanese Kana, for example, characters symbolize syllables.
As well as those writing systems emanated from sounds, there is another system which is orginated from words, the Logographic. Each character represents a word, Chinese, for example. Because of its work, languages different in spoken form, such as: Chinese and Japanese, can share the same system.
