Hello Robert,

As I recall, Daniels' & Bright's "THE WORLD'S WRITING SYSTEMS " has a really
good section on adaptations of the Hebrew script to various languages.
There is also Allworth's "Languages of the Soviet Union" which has Tat and I
think, Karaim in the Hebrew script. I remember seeing more, but I can't
reacall them off the top of my head.

Best regards
