Most children across the world learn to read and write in non-alphabetic orthographies such as abjads (e.g., Arabic), abugidas (e.g., Ethiopic Ge'ez), and morphosyllabaries (e.g., Chinese).

David Roberts; Ginger Boyd; Johannes Merz; Valentin Vydrin – Language Documentation & Conservation, 2020
Whether tone should be represented in writing, and if so how much, is one of the most formidable challenges facing those developing orthographies for tone languages.

Amoakohene, Benjamin – International Journal of Higher Education, 2017
Writing is considered as a daunting task in second language learning.
