<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 4939817, member: 74968&quot;]It is fairly rudimentary though well done. It goes through the basics in a rather generalist approach. That is fitting because I am guessing they wanted to reach as many people as possible without descending too far into the technical specifics. In particular the move from a logographic system to an alphabet was not as straightforward as the presenters implied. I am guessing that this was because most of the viewers do not have an advanced degree in linguistics and have no interest in pursuing one.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to dig deeper after viewing the program just let me know and I can send you a reading list. First on the list would be a book entitled &quot;A is for Ox&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
