The word "alphabetic" is correct and usable in written English
You can use it to refer to something arranged in the order of the alphabet, such as an alphabetic list or alphabetic order. For example, "They sorted the items in alphabetic order" or "The encyclopaedia was arranged in an alphabetic list."
Matthew Blastares composed his Syntagma alphabeticum ("Alphabetical Arrangement"), an alphabetic manual of all imperial and church law, in 1335 from their works.
A third, alphabetic script based on the Latin alphabet was created in 1957.
Before the middle of the 8th century bce, the Phrygians adopted an alphabetic script ultimately derived from the Phoenician alphabet.
Phonemes form a sort of "sound alphabet" from which audible words are built (Appelbaum 1999 critiques the "alphabetic" conception).
Her team's MRI studies showed that dyslexia among users of alphabetic scripts such as English and of logographic ones such as Chinese was associated with different parts of the brain, just as different parts of the brain were involved in reading the two types of language.
One lesson from her study, she adds, is that a dyslexic Chinese reader may not suffer the same problem with an alphabetic language.
The Chinese writing system is non-alphabetic.
While pre-alphabetic systems of writing in the Old World became steadily more phonetic, they were still exceedingly cumbersome, and the syllabic systems that gradually replaced them remained complex and difficult.
The international character of the empire is reflected in the frequently trilingual royal inscriptions with Akkadian and Elamite versions in traditional syllabic cuneiform, and the Old Persian text in its own simplified quasi-alphabetic system of wedge-shaped writing.
Since the Chinese graphs were inherently nonphonetic, they were at best unsatisfactory tools for the transcription of a non-Chinese language, and attempts at creating a new alphabetic-phonetic written language for empire building proved unsuccessful on three separate occasions.
The spoken language, like all others, was undergoing phonetic change much of the time, which the written form could not reflect because of its non-alphabetic nature; hence the rise of the use of phonetic compounds, of which there were already almost 7000 out of the 9350+ graphs recorded in the Shuowen.
