Why Asian and Middle-Eastern languages have survived for so long using their original scripts, unlike Slavic languages?

665 viewsOther

Slavic languages were written in Cyrillic, but after a while, they started to use the Latin script, and the languages were completely split into separate languages using different scripts, now being known as Eastern and Western Slavic. However, looking at Asian and Middle-Eastern languages, we see that they are not splitting into different languages using different scripts like Slavic languages. Why did that not happen to them?

I think this is better suited for ask historians. Also it’s based on a false assumption. Not all Slavic languages used Cyrillic at all.
