Coptic language is an Afro-Asiatic language. Spoken in Egypt from about the 2nd century CE, it represents the final stage of the ancient Egyptian language. In contrast to earlier stages of Egyptian, which used hieroglyphic writing, hieratic script, or demotic script, Coptic was written in the Greek alphabet, supplemented by seven letters borrowed from demotic writing.
Coptic also replaced the religious terms and expressions of earlier Egyptian with words borrowed from Greek.

The Lycian alphabet was used during 500-330 BC, to write the Lycian language of the Asia Minor region of Lycia. It was one of the ancient Anatolian languages.
Evidence for Lycian consists of more than 150 inscriptions on stone, some 200 on coins, and a handful on other objects. An extension of the Greek alphabet, with half a dozen additional letters for sounds not found in Greek, it was largely similar to the Lydian and the Phrygian alphabets.

Introduced in the 20th century, Neo-Tifinagh is a modern alphabetical derivative of the traditional script. It is an abjad script used to write the Berber languages. Tifinagh is believed to be a descendant of the ancient Libyan script.
The Tifinagh alphabet (โLybico-berberโ) has been used by the Berber speaking people in North Africa and the Canary Islands at least from the third century B.C. up to the third century A.D.
Modern standard writing direction is left-to-right, however earlier inscriptions are known to be from right-to-left, and sometimes vertically from bottom-to-top. The letters illustrated here are the IRCAM version of Neo-Tifinagh.
