What alphabets should a basic history-fag know?
>>

All of them

>>3061244
Many writing systems are not alphabets.
>>
greek, hebrew, sanskrit
>>
>>3061285
I'd say Chinese is more important than Hebrew if you're talking about any kind of script though it's also harder to penetrate. Hebrew is basically a form of imperial Aramaic.
Then there are the Arabic scripts.
>>
>>3061244
I find the English alphabet to be quite useful
>>
>>
>>3061299
isnĀ“t chinese a non-alphabetical script
>>
>>3061303
Yeah it's logographic like the hieroglyphs but a lot of history's knowledge is contained in texts written with it. Any weeb worth their salt should know katakana and hiragana.
>>
>>3061285
Sanskrit is a language, not a script retard

Also "Hebrew Script" is actually Aramaic Script

Norse is easy as fuck though.
>>
>>3062598
good list, though i would add syriac and traditional mongolian script for aesthetic value
>>
>>3061612
That's Sumerian, you fucking dipshit. From Mesopotamia. If you're gonna post unfunny dead memes, at least get your geography right
>>
>>3062598
We're all typing in Latin right now fampai
>>
>>3061244
It's best you start with Linear A. That should help you a lot.
>>
>>3064537
Good, then you only have 3 more to go
>>3061244
Idk but if I were me (I am) I'd focus on Cyrillic and Perso-Arabic. Don't really care too much for East Asian and I already know Latin
