Every writing system, on the table
Letters are not sounds — they are each culture's compression scheme for sound (or, in Chinese, for meaning). Here is each system laid out in full: every sign, its IPA value linked into the shared sound registry, the combinations it loves, and the ones it forbids.
Latin · A B C …
The 26 letters six of our languages share — and the least honest alphabet on this site: the same letter can mean utterly different sounds per language (j = English /d͡ʒ/, French /ʒ/, Spanish /x/, German /j/; c, g, r, u all shift).
Greek · ελληνικό αλφάβητο
24 letters, and you half-know them already from maths and physics — the trap is that MODERN Greek reads differently from the classroom values: β is v (not b), η υ ι all say /i/, δ is th-in-this, γ is a soft gargle.
Georgian (Mkhedruli) · ქართული ანბანი
33 letters, 33 sounds, no capitals, nothing silent.
Arabic · الأبجدية العربية
28 letters, written right to left, always cursive — there is no 'print' vs 'handwriting': letters CONNECT, and each has up to four shapes depending on position (alone, initial, medial, final).
Chinese keys (214 radicals) · 部首
Chinese is not written with an alphabet: each character is a picture-built sign, and the 214 keys (radicals, 部首) are the parts it is built FROM.
