    Description
    English: A map of the writing systems in use today around the world. Many minor scripts have been omitted from India and Southeast Asia, otherwise the map is reasonably complete. In a couple cases (Japan, Mongolia), biscriptal areas are shown by filling the country in one color and outlining it in the other.
