Montenegro, Bosnia, Serbia and Kazakhstan use both Latin and Cyrillic, not just one as seen here.
Multiple systems are presented in Japan but not there.
Edit: Added Kazakhstan as the comment reminded me, cool name @MadMaxIsMadAsMax

Maybe use a different pattern for mixed systems. As it stands, it looks like Honshu uses the multiple writing systems in Japanese but the other major islands only use one.

Zhuyin is a phonetic system used to explain how to pronounce a character, or for typing. It’s technically a writing system but it’s not used like a regular script; Taiwan uses traditional Chinese characters.
The equivalent of zhuyin in China is pinyin, which uses Latin letters, so you’d have to include Latin alphabet for China by that logic.

The Urdu abjad is derived from the Persian abjad which in turn is derived from the Arabic abjad. There are enough differences between them that it is debatable whether all three can be described as a single abjad.
