    I opened this to say that it wasn’t really a cool guide, just an alphabet, but I don’t think it was trying to claim you could produce the language by knowing some letters. In fact, knowing any language’s alphabet alone doesn’t confer the ability to communicate in that language. You could vaguely make a go of it with languages that rely heavily on logographs like Chinese, but even that won’t really get you very far.
