I suppose so…I mean it wouldn’t be comprehended but sure I guess it’s “read”. Looking at an alphabet of another language is like looking at a piece of art. You don’t understand what it means but you can give it your interpretation of meaning.

I definitely cannot read “texts” of ancient languages or Russian, Arabic, etc, but I can look at it. I’d rephrase this to, “You can’t look at text and not read it for languages you know”.
