It would be nice if Typedia <http://typedia.com/> covered this 
information. At present, however, it doesn't seem to.

I imagine a useful way to present the information would be to list 
"languages covered", segmented by script type. (And quite easy, albeit 
tedious, to automate.) It would be quite interesting to see (if a 
comprehendive listing could ever be created) the comparisons between 
languages.
