The greek alphabet does not have official status. As in practice no other "alternative" alphabet is in use for the language (in any context other than email), there was probably no incentive for such regulation on behalf of the lawmakers. Note that for most (if not all) of the other languages listed, two or more alphabets have been in use historically. Contributor175
[[File: Example.jpg]]==Russia/Cyrillic==
quote:
In Russia, the designation of the Cyrillic alphabet as an official script also has the consequence that officially recognised minority languages must use it for their script when used officially (which does not necessarily have to be the case; for example, in Serbia and Montenegro minority languages use their own scripts). Some consider this to be harmful, especially in the case of Tatar language.
I think this needs cleaning. As far as I know, republic of Tatarstan, in fact, *do* use Latin script for Tatar language currently. So I don't see how they *must* use Cyrillic?
They seem to oscillate between sctipts for a number of times, but that's it - they can choose.
The listing mentions the latin alphabet as being co-official with the cyrillic alphabet in Serbia. Yet, a mere 5 lines after that, it is asserted that only the cyrillic alphabet is official (which contradicts the previous claim). Until the issue is clarified and a reference is provided by someone, the article should remain flagged as containing contradictions. Contributor175 12:44, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
In Montenegro Serbian language of the iekavian dialect will be the official language. Cyrillic and Latin alphabets shall be deemed to be equal. In the municipalities in which the majority or a substantial number of population consists of the national minorities and ethnic groups, their respective languages and alphabets shall be in the official use.

Could anyone verify whether the Cyrillic alphabet indeed has an official (in the legal sense) status in Bulgaria or not? I am not disputing that Cyrillic is used in virtually all cases; that is exactly my point: for the need to regulate alphabet usage, there would first have to be some observed "deviance" from this standard. Why bother pass a law when Cyrillic is a de facto standard and there are no instances of anyone using any other alphabet for the language? To give another example of this, English is not a de jure official language in either the United Kingdom, Australia or the U.S.A. for the reason that its de facto status is unchallenged.
The list should only include countries for which some alphabet has official status by law. I am weary of the addition of Bulgaria/Cyrillic to the list for the additional reason that it was introduced by an unregistered user (the single edit so far under that IP) and (judging from the misplacement within the wikitext) a relative newcomer who (despite good intentions) might not have had the time to properly understand what the article is about.

Bulgarian shall be the official language of the Republic.

To the invited experts: Please go through the previous discussions first because they are related to the issues in question. Together with the other editors, we have made some efforts to maintain consistency in the listing but it appears we need some guidance:

There is no country like Nubia in modern times, why does this article list it as a country Nubian Christian Alphabet?
Or why does this article say, Lybia uses Lybian Christian Alphabet, if there is no such a thing at all?
I noticed here other horrible mistakes, for example listing Ge'ez Latin Alphabet as Ethiopias official script, whereas it's the Ge'ez script itself?
Pleace look for those mistakes, Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.206.65.181 ( talk) 13:09, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Do no countries which use the latin alphabet (with or without various diaetrics) have it as an official script? - for example English in USA, UK, Canada; French in France; etc. Astronaut ( talk) 13:41, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
The opening paragraph of this article explicitly defines "official" scripts.
There is no need at all then to include in the list of official scripts languages who are explicitly stated to have a "de facto" script. Unless someone has a strong reason why I should not do it, I will remove all references to languages with de facto scripts.
As there seems to be a lot of unofficial scripts listed, I think that there should be a reference for every case of the claim of an official script. — Coroboy ( talk) 09:36, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
