"Just drop your language's writing system in favor of the latin alphabet!" "It's a hard problem (and doesn't affect me) so let's ignore it altogether!" Must be easy to make remarks like this when your native language happens to use the latin alphabet... How about we use our knowledge to build computer systems that respect different writing systems, even if it's hard, instead of enforcing a latin hegemony upon the rest of the world. Comparing scripts to numeral notation is comparing apples to oranges. The latin syllabary does not work for languages that have more sounds than are represented by 26 characters!
