What is a "defective script"?
A defective script is a writing system that lacks characters or symbols to represent all the sounds or phonemes of a language. This limitation means that certain sounds cannot be accurately represented, leading to potential gaps in written communication. For example, in the Latin script used for English, there is no distinct character for the sound /ŋ/, which appears in words like "sing." Instead, it is represented by the combination of letters "ng." Defective scripts can create challenges for literacy and learning, as they may not fully capture the phonetic diversity of a language, leading to variations in spelling and pronunciation.
