Answer 4

There are about 20 pure alphabets in common use, 30 if you include alphabets used only for religious purposes.

This number doesn't include other writing systems, like syllabaries (Japanese) alphasyllabies (Hindi), or Logographic writing (Chinese), but does include consonant-based alaphabets, called Abjads with optional vowels such as Hebrew and Arabic.

The most common pure alphabets used in the world are (in no particular order):

• Latin
  
• Greek
  
• Cyrillic
  
• Korean
  
• Georgian
  
• Armenian
  
• Hebrew
  
• Arabic

If you are talking only about pure alphabets with both consonants and vowels (not abjads or syllabaries), then there are about 20. If you include extinct alphabets and those used only for religion or decoration, there are about 40.

The most commonly used pure alphabets are:

• Latin
• Greek
• Cyrillic
• Armenian
• Georgian
• Korean
• Hebrew (when written with vowel marks)
• Arabic (when written with vowel marks)

Answer 6

It depends on your definition of the word alphabet, but in the broadest sense, there are 4 types of alphabets:

1. Pure alphabets, which have letters for all of the sounds of a language, such as Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic.
   
2. Abjads, which only have letters for the consonants of a language, such as Arabic and Hebrew (although when Arabic and Hebrew are written with vowel markings, they become pure alphabets).
3. Abugidas, which are segmental writing systems in which consonant–vowel sequences are written as a unit: each unit is based on a consonant letter, and vowel notation is secondary, such as Hindi and Punjabi.
4. Syllabaries, which represent whole syllables of a language, such as Japanese Katakana and Cherokee.

The Ancient Egyptian system is unique, and could be considered a 5th type because it uses a mixture of phonetic symbols and picture writing.

Answer 7

If you count each version of an alphabet as unique (for example, the English version of the Latin alphabet and the Spanish version of the Latin alphabet would be counted separately), then there are more than 100,000 alphabets. That number also includes alphabets of extinct languages.

If you are referring only to base alphabets, such as the Latin alphabet, the Cyrillic, Alphabet, etc, and you only include pure alphabets that represent both vowels and consonants, there are about 20. Notable examples are:

1. Latin
2. Greek
3. Cyrillic
4. Armenian
5. Hangul (Korean)
6. Armenian
7. Georgian
8. Hebrew, when written with vowel marks
9. Arabic, when written with vowel marks

If you are talking about all currently used writing systems, there are about 100.
