Official script

An official script is a writing system that is specifically designated to be official in the constitutions or other applicable laws of countries, states, and other jurisdictions.

It is used primarily where an official language is in practice written with two or more scripts.

As, in these languages, use of script often has cultural or political connotations, proclamation of an official script is sometimes criticized as having a goal of influencing culture or politics or both.

Desired effects also may include easing education, communication and some other aspects of life.

This list does not cover local variations of international scripts, such as which diacritics are used.
