In the past, not many people were literate. Books were handwritten by penmen and thus, they were very expensive. Invention of the printing machine made it affordable for everyone to get a book and this encouraged them to learn how to read and write. Classical printing machines use discrete letters. The Arabic script is a longhand style and the form of a letter varies at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of a word. Therefore, a typographic house needs more than 700 different characters. Today, computer systems can solve this problem easily. In some cases, the current alphabet may not be suitable for the language of the nation. Turkish language and the Arabic alphabet is a good example for this case. Although Turkish has 13 vowels, the Arabic alphabet has only three vowels. On the contrary, the Arabic alphabet has many consonants, but Turkish does not have as many. In the second half of the 19th century, the telegraph system was used for military and commercial purposes. The telegraph system uses the Morse alphabet, which is designed for the 31 Latin alphabet. During the First World War and the War of Liberation of Turkey, the Turkish army and diplomats used the Latin alphabet for telegraph messages. Nowadays, we have a similar problem in the field of information systems. Most of the international standards, such as the character set, the Internet, the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), etc., are developed for the Latin alphabet. жүктеу/скачать 8,57 Mb.
