Talk:Written language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Written language is a language whose words and sentences are written in paper instead of being spoken: strange thing, makes the distinction written/spoken appear as strong as the difference between spoken languages, which doesn't look right. So IMO this article should be reworked (and renamed) or deleted. --FvdP 20:50 14 Jul 2003 (UTC)
I think I fixed your concern. I made a (too?) strong statement about the absence of purely written languages. If anyone has any credible source to discount please let me know.

Isn't using ASL as an example of a language with a written complement a bit misleading? Is there a standard written form of ASL? If no-one objects I'll delete this from the page. thefamouseccles 07:41, 10 Mar 2006 (UTC)
Most Efficient Writing Style
Does anyone know what the most efficient/advanced writing system/language is?
If you mean pen and ink writing on paper with the fewest number of strokes, then shorthand is the most efficient. If you broaden it to mean any method of printing human speech on paper, then a computer speech recognition system that prints out what you say in a microphone is the most efficient, although the error rate is high.
