=== Logograms === Ideograms are not to be equated with [[logogram]]s, which represent specific [[morpheme]]s in a language. In a broad sense, ideograms may form part of a writing system otherwise based on other principles, like the examples above in the [[phonetic]] English writing system—while also potentially representing the same idea across several languages, as they do not correspond to a specific spoken word. There may not always be a single way to read a given ideograph. While remaining logograms assigned to morphemes, specific [[Chinese characters]] like ⟨{{zhi|c=中}}⟩ 'middle' may be classified as ideographs in a narrower sense, given their origin and visual structure.
