Pictographic Writing Systems
|
When pictures come to represent ideas or concepts in a consistent way. For example, a picture of the sun would represent the sun. Pictograms can be language independent, because they do not represent words or sounds in a particular language.

Logographich Writing Systems
|
Are not language independent. Pictures stop being pictographic and start being logographic when the symbol becomes more arbitrary and starts to mean a single word rather than an idea. When symbols come to be used to represent words in a language they become logograms.

Syllabic Writing Systems
|
A set of symbols which represent the pronunciation of syllables rather than words. Like rebus except with single syllables instead of whole words. No purely syllabic writing systems exist today, thought Japanese can be written with a set of single symbols which represent spoken syllables.
