Web development

I want to do something like Jennifer Dewalt but I don't know shit about HTML or CSS or Javascript or whatever. Can you point me to the right direction /prog/?

Yeah, okay, there are characters which signify different things in different contexts. We have those in English spelling too. How do you pronounce "read?" What does it mean when you pronounce it that way? What if you pronounce it the other way?

What you [i]won't[/i] find is characters that have no corresponding sound but can still be used in a sentence. If you were try to invent such a character (like Prince did with his alternate name for a while) you'd find people making up sounds to go with it, because otherwise it would break language.

Latin, but OK.

People call it both "Roman" and "Latin." You know exactly which alphabet I'm talking about, regardless of which name I use.

And you technically mean Indo_European

What? Do you mean to say that "being written in the Roman alphabet" is part of the definition of language in the Indo-European family? Sanskrit, Farsi, and Russian are Indo-European, but they use other writing systems. Vietnamese uses the Roman alphabet. Japanese is not related to Chinese, whereas Tibetan is — but instead of Chinese characters, Tibetan uses a Brahmic script.

Writing systems have nothing to do with language families. They are unrelated concepts in linguistics.
