This book was published to enrich readers' understanding for diverse writing systems and broaden their respect for the values presented within them. It seeks to share stories on the writing systems of Asia, explaining how they use diverse letters such as Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Latin, and many others. This publication covers nine Asian languages which were selected with consideration for geographical balance and linguistic affiliation: Hindi, Arabic, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Mongolian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. The writing systems of these nine languages are introduced in terms of their developmental process, unique forms, and calligraphy. Originally published in Korean in 2013 as a product of collaboration with the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea, the Korean edition has been widely recognized by Korean readers. Encouraged by the ever increasing global demand to learn about Asian culture and languages, Hollym and APCEIU released this book to hope that the book will stimulate more interest towards cultural diversity and global citizenship which become the basis of mutual respect.
