This table summarizes all Hebrew scripts relevant to those who wants to learn
the language. In fact, you will probably only need the Square Script and
the Cursive (handwriting.)
Besides those present in the table, there is also a Samaritan script, which
is a variation of the ancient script, and is only used by a small Samaritan
community in Israel (about 600 community members.)
