This is a starting point for understanding the foundations of Writing. The structure for this information section is as follows:

• Terminology (click on headings below).
• Structure, i.e., the alphabets of each language
• Interpretation/Meaning/Perception
• Reading – Pronunciation, tone, and interpretation of imagery (will be linked in later articles focusing deeper on interpretation/meaning/perception)
