Actually, both titles are correct. Obviously, many European languages use the same Latin script. But some use a slightly different number of letters. When one is referring to the set of Latin letters used for a particular language, it\u2019s ok to refer to that set as the \u201c[language name] alphabet\u201d. However, in the end, in order to be more inclusive, I decided to change the title to simply \u201cEvolution of the Alphabet\u201d and use the row titles to make it clear that it is the evolution of the standard Latin script that is being shown (as opposed to say, the Cyrillic or Hebrew scripts).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kottke.org\/plus\/misc\/images\/evolution-alphabet.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><p><br \/>\n<small>(via <a href=\"https:\/\/kottke.org\/19\/01\/the-evolution-of-the-alphabet\">Kottke<\/a>)<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sehr h\u00fcbsches und sch\u00f6n buntes Diagramm, das Matt Baker f\u00fcr Useful Charts gemacht hat und das dort als limitierter Druck angeboten wird.
