Some written languages require multiple scripts (for example, Japanese, which requires at least three scripts—the hiragana and katakana syllabaries and the kanji ideographs imported from China). This sense of the word “script” has nothing to do with programming scripts such as Perl or Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript).
