What reading level is In the Path of the Alphabet An Historical Account of the Ancient Beginnings And book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The tendency in polysyllabic languages after reaching the phonetic stage, was to greater complexity and an increase of explanatory signs in systems of writing. Sometimes the trans- missions of these primitive systems from one race to another, led to simpler methods.
It, however, not infrequently happened that these transmissions led to greater complexity. This depended somewhat upon the diversity between the languages spoken by the authors of the primitive system of writing and those who adopte...d it.
While speech and mode of writing are dis- tinct and independent, the one of the other, the influence of language structure in the evo- lution of graphic systems is conspicuous. Thus a sentence of English speech might be express- ed by Chinese characters or Egyptian hiero- glyphics. In the Tel Armana tablets, more than one language appears in the cuneiform. We have seen how the so called Hittite charac- ters were found on occasion yielding Greek words, and the use of the Roman alphabet for French, German, Italian and other languages, are every day examples.
