Logograph used in a sentence

Logograph in a sentence as a noun

English's primary strength over other European languages is its use of logography.

My immediate thought is this could help out Mayan orthography, which is notably “computer proof”, even though it’s a mixed logography.

If you look at the history of writing systems, we have seen at least three instances of logographic systems developing into syllabries.

China can't just adopt a simple to compute writing system any more easily than English Speakers could adopt a complex logography.

The point is that if they really were logographs, and not just a complicated syllabary, you would get a lot more than the equivalent of two or three letters out of them.

Hieroglyphs more commonly refer to the Ancient Egyptian writing system, whereas logogram and logograph are more general terms.

Hieroglyphics are a mixed phonetic-logographic system in the same way that English is a mixed phonetic-logographic system, where the second person pronoun can be represented by "you" or by the logograph u. How much is that hurting our literacy rate?

I think the reasons are complex and largely have to do with strong cultural biases towards logographs and a cultural comfort with education being the same as memorization, but other, more practical reasons may have contributed.

A prominent example would be 觉, pronounced jué in 觉得 but jiào in 睡觉Hanzi are logographs, not a syllabary.> and complicated rules about which to use for writing common wordsMaybe if you have some need to believe in the bizarre fiction that Chinese characters only provide phonetic information.

As far as we can tell, all writing systems with independent origins started out as logographs that where stylized representations of the words, and then they started to change by adapting the rebus principle--basically, puns based on homonyms rather than their abstract representation.
