Without the alphabet Review by Bryan"....we all need the alphabet. Without the alphabet there can be no education. Whether you communicate in Sign Language or any other language, the alphabet is the base. Parents, you will wonder why I stress this so much. It is the key to success. The alphabet rules the world of words. It does not matter what language you speak, for the Alphabet is the beginning of wisdom."
We don't all need the alphabet.
I haven't read this book, but your title is misleading: Chinese doesn't use an alphabet, so go figure. You can't assume that if people don't use an alphabet that others can't learn! The alphabet doesn't rule the world of words [only if you're writing in an alphabetic language.] The letters of the alphabet has no meaning on it's own [don't argue and say that in Phoenician the letters have a meaning. That's true only of Phoenician, not the modern Latin/Roman alphabet, or any language that uses it! Same with Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic, Hebrew, or other languages which uses an alphabet.], so therefore it's useless! It's only the combination of phonetic sound values that gives it a specific meaning when you map it to a word in a certain language. The only meaning that's attached to the letters are the numeric value given to them by Greeks, Arabs and "Hebrews" [Don't know what to call them: the people who used to use and speak Hebrew: ancestors of modern Jewish people.]
