 # Writing
+
+DjanZi writing system is logographic. Simple words are purely pictograms, but
+more complex or abstract words are expressed with ideograms and phonograms,
+based on the pictograms, similar to how it's done in Chinese.
+
+## Pictograms
+
+Pictograms are characters representing an object or idea by how it's
+visualized.
+
+## Ideograms
+
+Ideograms are characters composing two or three pictograms to suggest a
+concept, usually hard to visualize.  Each pictogram is called a radical.
+
+The radicals are placed horizontally in ideograms with ratio 1:1, 1:2, or
+1:1:2.
+
+## Phonograms
+
+Phonograms are characters based on its synonyms.  All phonograms are indicated
+with the character (mouth) on the left, with ratio 1:2.
+
+Some phonograms also consists of semantic component.  This semantic component
+occupy the top of the right part of the character (if this semantic component
+has one radical) or the bottom of the character (if this semantic component has
+two or more radicals)
