Latin script, or Mandarin Romanization, is used mostly in the Catholic world.
Han-i and related scripts are used in all the area of influence of the Chinese, including Japan and Korea.
Arabic is the official script of Islam. However in Indonesia, Arabic is only used to write Arabian, and many non semitic languages have alternate writtings in other scripts. For example, Urdu is usually written in Devangari, and Turkish is usually written in Cyrilic.
Devangari is used in India for most languages spoken there.

In countries like Pakistan it is common to see together Cyrilic, Han-i ideograms, Arabic and Devangari, all of them to write Urdu.
