| | For the most important, extraordinary fact about alphabets is that, as David Sacks puts it, they have "routinely jumped from language to language". | | | Coincidentally, the language on which the new Azeri alphabet is closely modelled, modern Turkish, itself switched from Arabic to Roman letters in the 1920s, under Kemal Atatürk's westernising influence. | | | Many of our letters, like B or E, are mirror images of early Greek originals, for this, like other ancient languages, could be written alternately left-to-right and right-to-left: boustrophedon, "as the plow-ox turns". |
