Which alphabet is better latin or ideogram? And why.

Japanese because I like anime.

Really though ideograms have a more diverse vocabulary, although this may be a result of age rather than format.

The latter isn't an alphabet.

Alphabet = Alpha + Beta

Ideograms are useful for the chinese because they can all understand them, even if they don't speak the same sino-tibetan language

Alphabets are way easier but ideograms can make for more colorful/poetic writing.

gee I fucking wonder

Alphabets are far easier to learn, it takes a Western child only a few ears to achieve total literacy, it takes decades to master Chinese glyphs. On the other hand, ideograms are language-neutral and can be used and read by speakers of any language, this makes them potentially far more useful in a global society. With advances in machine intelligence and instant translation, it could well be the glyphs that follow us to the stars, rather than the letters.

But this isn't true, you can read anything WRITTEN IN YOUR OWN LANGUAGE in a latin script, but with chink glyphs you can read anything written by anyone else, who spoke any language, written in glyphs.

AYOOO HOL UP!
So yuz sayin that, if all nations agree on a set of pictures which mean the same thing, we can all understand each other?

Because otherwise, I don't know what ther FUCK are you talking about, when Japanese kanji is literally stolen Chinese and the same glyphs already mean totally different things in them.

He means logographic/ideograms impart information in a way that is divorced from phonetics.

For example
The Japanese word for mountain is "Yama"
The Chinese world for mountain is "Shan"
The Chink Character for mountain is 山

Since both Japan and China uses the logogram, they both agree that 山 means "mountain" even if they don't speak the same language.

There's a reason why Chinkdom is Japan's most common tourists: just show them a Kanji sign and they'll understand it.

Most existing alphabets are derived from a much reduced set of characters. This democratized writing but also reduced its vibrant diversity.

>People who use Chinkscratch agree on the meanings of characters.
>People who use the Latin Alphabet can't even agree how individual letters are used.

Shit like "C is S" in "Caesar" or "Cessation." Common in the English/French language.
Or how French words like "encore" forces E in the role of "O".
Or how in Hungary S stands for "Sh" sound while Sz stands for "S" sound.

The fuck is up with that shit.

I come from a country where the colonizers forced the alphabet on us (Malaysia), but fuck me does our language use it more sensibly than Euronigs ever did.

Uh. they fucking do?
For example: the Chinese word for computer is "Diannao." Which means "Electrical Mind." Literally.
