Show Notes

More than 85% of the world's writing systems are threatened and with them the entire written record of their culture of origin. How does script loss affect a people--and why are so many cultures working to revive their traditional scripts or create new ones? These are the subjects covered in a new book by Tim Brookes titled “An Atlas of Endangered Alphabets,” a global exploration of the many writing systems that are on the verge of vanishing, and the stories and cultures they carry with them.

Tim Brookes is the founder and executive director of the Endangered Alphabets Project. Since 2010 he has given talks/exhibitions about script endangerment at over 150 venues including Harvard, Yale, Cambridge, the Smithsonian, and the Library of Congress.
