        Can’t think of a single benefit

        Multiple languages can use the same alphabet logographic system to mean, roughly, the same thing. Mandarin and Cantonese are not really interintelligible and Wu is not interintelligible, but they use the same writing system.

        Still, I don't think that's as useful in modern times as it was in centuries past.
