I want to understand better the split between logographic and phonemic writing systems. As far as i know logographicnlanguages in the modern world are all asian and of a similar character. So id imagine they all have the same roots.
@freemo Roots of the language and of the writing system are not necessarily the same. There were multiple instances of significant import of "characters" from ~Chinese into Japanese and I had the impression that at least some of them didn't import much past the characters themselves.
@robryk i expect a lot of cross over fornsure. I suspect there was a si gle root of logographic languages that split and remained intertwined despite the splits.
My vague recollection is that there was oneish root of ideograms, but the languages evolved before writing in an unrelated way. I don't know how much adoption of writing affected the languages.
