Script family groups writing systems by their shared line of descent. Wikipedia describes the Latin script as "based on the letters of the classical Latin alphabet, derived from a form of the Greek alphabet," placing it in the same broad family as Greek, Cyrillic and Coptic. This dimension lets a visitor compare scripts that trace back to the same ancestral writing system.
