Re: intrinsic advantage of Latin alphabet over bopomofo (for Chinese)??

I do not know about other languages; certainly Chinese,
Babylonian, and Maya seem not to have developed an
alphabetic form, and there is at least one cuneiform
alphabet, Ugaritic.

there are a lot of alphabetic forms of chinese like chinese braille
writing for the blind and some historical ones , yes , and there
are books in pinyin (does not matter how frequent they are used)

.
