my study group invited a Toronto professor to our town to talk to us about Asian religions ... I searched on the internet for the words Rain & Lake in Chinese depictions ... then I graphed them out to stitch them.

I am curious as to what you are planning to stitch.

You might want to try looking for
CROSS STITCH LETTERS BIBLE by Valerie Lejeune
ISBN # 978-2756503059

It is over 700 pages
There are 844 alphabet charts in different fonts
It includes some foreign languages -- Hebrew, Greek, Russian, etc
I have only seen pictures of the book and some of the pages.

This book is from France. Since it is patterns you don't need to understand the language.
Unfortunately, the book is out of print. I saw a copy on eBay recently that sold for $35.00. I keep hoping I am going to find one at a garage sale.

Hope this information helps

The Hebrew language was what G d had use to talk to Adam, Eve and Moses. It is the mother of all the languages Until Sodom and Gomorrah.

Actually, it was the language used until the Tower of Babel. Sodom and Gomorrha was an illustration of God punishing sinners.

That's the correct answer about Hebrew, which has nothing to do wwith the information requested for a site/info/books of many foreign alphabets.

Anyhow, the original topic was regarding cross stitch alphabet patterns

Have we helped the original poster?

Not sure what language the Lord spoke thousands of years ago. He's been around a long time. If he actually spoke to someone he or she probably used words that individual would understand.

The written word did not evolve until much later. I am curious about the order of alphabet letters came about. There is a lot of similarities between the Greek alphabet names and the Hebrew alphabet names.

This is a link to a Greek alphabet if you are interested

The Cross Stitch Bible that I described is back on eBay.

Is the original poster still here?

I sure would like one of those alphabet bibles! Sounds interesting and useful!

Marlene -- wish it had been available when I first started stitching.

Do you want the eBay link? I could look it up for you.
