Abstract
This paper explores the relationship between the structure of orthographies and the way they are laid out spatially. Following Robert Lafont (1984) and Geoffrey Sampson (1985), it is argued that orthographies are strongly correlated with specific linguistic features of the languages they represent. The Greek alphabet developed in the high-density area of different Mediterranean cultures combines features of the Sumerian and the Egyptian scripts, adapted to the specific properties of the Greek language.
