-A writing system, or script is not a language; it is a means of conveying information through written language.They can be classified as follows.
-===Script Type===
-'''Alphabetic''':
-Individual units  for writing are composed of consonants, and in some cases vowels. When combined they spell out words phonetically. Eg: Indic, Arabic, Latic, Greek etc.
-'''Syllabic''':
-The individual units for writing are composed of syllables. Eg: Japanese kana and Korean Hangul
-'''Ideographic''':
-A writing system which uses pictures or symbols to represent words. Eg: Chinese
-===Context dependent Glyph Shaping===
-'''Positional''':
-The shape of the character changes depending on the position in the word. Eg: Arabic greek.
-'''Ligatures''':
-Characters combine to form a different shape when they appear next to one another. In Indic scripts ligatures are mandatory.
-'''Cursive''':
-The letters are joined while writing.
-Arabic is an example.But English is not of this kind.
-===Text Direction===
-'''Left to right''':
-Text is written left to right horizontally. Eg: Indic, English
-'''Bidirectional''':
-Examples are Arabic and Hebrew.Text is written right to left while numbers and latin words are written left to right.
-'''Vertical''':
-In Chinese and Japanese text is written vertically
-===Other Characteristics===
-'''Diacritics''':
-Special marks used for accents, tones, and vowels, or to uniquely identify a character. In some writing   systems such as Indic and Thai, diacritics can span multiple characters.
-'''Word seperator''':
-Most of the languages use space as word separator. Exceptions are Chinese, Thai , and Japanese
-'''Punctuation''':
-Marks are inconsistent across writing systems
-'''A detailed description of above writing systems can be found at [[wikipedia:writing system|Wikipedia page on Writing Systems]]'''
