Learn alphabets, scripts, symbols, and writing systems from around the world in one app.

World of Alphabets helps you recognize and remember letters through flashcards, quizzes, pronunciation hints, and illustrated character forms. Study modern alphabets like Cyrillic, Hangul, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Devanagari, and Thai, or explore ancient and symbolic systems including runes, hieroglyphs, cuneiform, Morse code, Braille, and semaphore.

With 267 writing systems in one place, the app is designed for travelers, language learners, students, linguistics enthusiasts, and anyone curious about how humans represent language visually.

Learn to recognize scripts used across Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and historical civilizations. Train your memory through repetition and active recall instead of passively reading charts or cheat sheets.

WHY START WITH THE SCRIPT?

Learning letters first makes vocabulary and grammar easier later. Once a writing system becomes familiar, reading words stops feeling like decoding symbols and starts feeling natural.
