English term or phrase: alphabet scripts
“You can see how traditional alphabet scripts have been struggling to meet the rapid-fire, visually focused demands of 21st century communication,” Casper Grathwohl, president of Oxford Dictionaries, is quoted as saying in the release.

“It’s not surprising that a pictographic script like emoji has stepped in to fill those gaps—it’s flexible, immediate, and infuses tone beautifully. As a result emoji are becoming an increasingly rich form of communication, one that transcends linguistic borders,” he added. “They can serve as insightful windows through which to view our cultural preoccupations, so it seemed appropriate to reflect this emoji obsession by selecting one as this year’s ‘word’ of the year.”

agree  Chema Nieto Castañón: Sí; "cómo los sistemas tradicionales de escritura alfabética han...". Tal vez también,, "cómo la escritura alfabética tradicional ha...", versus pictographic script (escritura pictográfica).

  -> Sí, queda más fluido así; se pierde la pluralidad de "scripts", pero tal vez no importe eso. Gracias y saludos, Saltasebes :)

agree  Carlos Siu: with "sistema de escritura". "Alfabéticos" presupposes there is one, many eastern languages don't have one, neither does the emoji.
