Languages by Writing System

802 languages with script mappings from Unicode CLDR

Languages and writing systems don't have a one-to-one relationship. A single script — like Latin — is used to write hundreds of languages. And some languages, like Serbian or Japanese, can be written in more than one script. This index maps all 802 languages to their writing systems using data from the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR). Use the script filter to see every language that uses a particular writing system.
