Talk:Logogram

|
I'm removing the following passage.
- The earliest alphabets (like hieroglyphs and cuneiform) are believed to have started as collections of logograms, which only later got a more general meaning.
Problems with this include:
- The writing systems given as examples are not alphabets, as far as I know.
- Are we sure these systems got started as "logograms"? I thought the party line was they started as pictograms and then morphed into ideograms.
- I don't know that anyone characterizes either example as logographic.
