The Old Uyghur alphabet was used for writing the Old Uyghur language, a variety of Old Turkic spoken in Turfan and Gansu that is an ancestor of the modern Yugur language.
 The term "Old Uyghur" used for this alphabet is misleading because the Kingdom of Qocho used the Old Turkic alphabet and only adopted this script used by the local inhabitants when they migrated into Turfan after 840.
 It was an adaptation of the Aramaic alphabet used for texts with Buddhist, Manichaean and Christian content for 700–800 years in Turpan.

The Sogdian alphabet was originally used for the Sogdian language, a language in the Iranian family used by the people of Sogdia.
 The alphabet is derived from Syriac, the descendant script of the Aramaic alphabet.
 The Sogdian alphabet is one of three scripts used to write the Sogdian language, the others being the Manichaean alphabet and the Syriac alphabet.

The history of the Arabic alphabet concerns the origins and the evolution of the Arabic script.
 It is thought that the Arabic alphabet is a derivative of the Nabataean variation of the Aramaic alphabet, which descended from the Phoenician alphabet, which, among others, gave rise to the Hebrew alphabet and the Greek alphabet (and therefore the Cyrillic and Roman alphabets).
Manichaean script is an abjad-based writing system rooted in the Semitic family of alphabets and associated with the spread of Manichaean religion from southwest to central Asia and beyond, beginning in the 3rd century CE.
 It bears a sibling relationship to early forms of the Pahlavi script, both systems having developed from the Imperial Aramaic alphabet, in which the Achaemenid court rendered its particular, official dialect of the Aramaic language.
 Unlike Pahlavi, Manichaean script reveals influences from Sogdian script, which in turn descends from the Syriac branch of Aramaic.
 Manichaean script is so named because Manichaean texts attribute its design to Mani himself.
 Middle Persian is written with this alphabet.
The ancient Aramaic alphabet is adapted from the Phoenician alphabet and became distinctive from it by the 8th century BCE.
 It was used to write the Aramaic language and had displaced the Paleo-Hebrew alphabet, itself a derivative of the Phoenician alphabet, for the writing of Hebrew.

The Edomite language was a Canaanite language, very similar to Hebrew, spoken by the Edomites in southwestern Jordan and parts of Israel in the first millennium BC.
 It is known only from a very small corpus.
 In early times, it seems to have been written with a Phoenician alphabet; like the Moabite language, it retained feminine "-t".
 However, in the 6th century BC, it adopted the Aramaic alphabet.
 Meanwhile, Aramaic or Arabic features such as "whb" ("gave") and "tgr" "merchant" entered the language, with "whb" becoming especially common in proper names.

Aramaic (אַרָמָיָא "Arāmāyā", Syriac: ܐܪܡܝܐ‎ , Arabic: آرامية‎ ‎ ) is a language or group of languages belonging to the Semitic subfamily of the Afroasiatic language family.
 More specifically, it is part of the Northwest Semitic group, which also includes the Canaanite languages such as Hebrew and Phoenician.
 The Aramaic alphabet was widely adopted for other languages and is ancestral to the Hebrew, Syriac and Arabic alphabets.
The Hebrew alphabet (Hebrew: אָלֶף־בֵּית עִבְרִי‎ , "Alefbet Ivri "), known variously by scholars as the Jewish script, square script and block script, is an abjad script used in the writing of the Hebrew language, also adapted as an alphabet script in the writing of other Jewish languages, most notably in Yiddish (lit.
 "Jewish" for Judeo-German), Djudío (lit.
 "Jewish" for Judeo-Spanish), and Judeo-Arabic.
 Historically, there have been two separate abjad scripts to write Hebrew.
 The original, old Hebrew script, is known as the paleo-Hebrew alphabet (which has been largely preserved, in an altered form, in the Samaritan alphabet), while the present "Jewish script" or "square script" to write Hebrew is a stylized form of the Aramaic alphabet and was known by Jewish sages as the Ashuri alphabet (lit.
 "Assyrian"), since its origins were alleged to be from Assyria.
 Various "styles" (in current terms, "fonts") of representation of the Jewish script letters described in this article also exist, as well as a cursive form which has also varied over time and place, and today is referred to as cursive Hebrew.
 In the remainder of this article, the term "Hebrew alphabet" refers to the Jewish square script unless otherwise indicated.
