Which system is best?

Why did Greek lose such influence?

Many Asia Minor and Balkan languages used Greek script before. Even Turkish used Greek before.

Why did albanian copy language words of Italian and steal their letters?

Because we are in the same IndoEuropean family of language and our language didn't get 85% of its words from Italian, like Japinese from Chinese did. But if I ask, why are you evading the question?
>>

Like most language most of these words are technical and scientific words which require loanwords to build.

Same reason English uses Latin for scientific and complex words. 60% or more of English is Latin.

If you speak Japanese casually it's mostly native Japanese. If you read the newspaper it's most likely mostly Sino-Japanese words.

A Jepanese here selling suchi said "Oraito, ikimashou iea"

Why do also you use a lot of American words when they bombed you twice(certainly not enough)?

>Why did Greek lose such influence?
Retarded writing system, and decline of Greek Culture since late-byzantian times. Turkish Domains and Balkans using Greek Letters were absorbed by Persian-Arabic influenced Ottomans. Those taken into consideration Greek became a meme language that is only spoken by Greeks.
>>
>>75290630
the script of the ottoman state was arabic
people up until the modern era were largely illiterate

greek script only survived through the orthodox church that supervised the christian parts of the ottoman empire

that's also why modern greek didn't diverge from medieval greek as much as other old languages did, the church was quite stringent with the use of the language of the new testament

latin script is best due to high symbol entropy which enables an impressive array of graphic design.
hangul script is arguably better, just needs different symbols
>>
>>75290990

English words actually flow better and sound better in Japanese than Sino-Japanese

I guess we were never chinks afterall
