Language scripts are the writing systems that have been able to form the written languages that we have in the world today. It is believed that there are around 3,800 different language scripts. The various scripts and eras that they evolve from have always been tagged with the languages that they helped create. For example, a syllabased logography shaped the Mayan language where consonant based is what is believed to give heiroglyphics its staying power. All of these ways of communicating have meticiously been recorded and kept track of.

A lot of studies have been done in being able to determine which language was actually related to a particular script. All of these language scripts have contributed to what the alphabet has become and that is a universal communication tool. Linguists and scientists from all over the world have spent hours upon hours making sure that there is an updated list of scripts from all around the world.
