It started with pictography. Script evolved gradually and consisted initially of whole words. Later those were broken into alphabets. Still, in many languages, one has to memorise the word shapes in the Mandarin or Chinese, for example. We too don’t analyse the spellings but pronounce the whole words as we recognise them without breaking them into alphabets.
Various scripts have been adopted and developed over the centuries in different parts of the world. Many ancient languages have died, yet the scholars have managed to decipher some of them just as the cuneiform script and, later, with the help of Rosetta stone the Egyptian script were deciphered. It is hoped that the pictographic script from Indus Valley steatite seals too will be decoded one day.

Colin Trevorrow Wrote Jurassic World: Dominion With the Help of the Cast
The upcoming
Jurassic World: Dominion is set to unite various stars from the franchise s entire run, so to ensure that the entire cast of characters was providing experiences that were authentic to the events they endured, director and co-writer Colin Trevorrow would invite the stars to collaborate with him when writing the script. The implication from Trevorrow was that, rather than helping devise the overall trajectory of the adventure, he would want their input when it came to interpersonal exchanges, especially given that stars like Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum first brought these characters to life nearly three decades ago.
