Answer 1

sure..just let me plug in my eqyption hieroglyphic keyboard...it might take awhile

Answer 2

Ah, come on now. English is a much more modern creation than hieroglyphics, and the fact that English has an alphabet of 26 letters is not universal across all languages.

In other words - there is no hieroglyphic version of the English letters A through Z.

Egyptian hieroglyphics consisted of 24 unilaterals - symbols that stood for specific consonant sounds. In modern "usage", those 24 unilaterals are generally represented by 26 "glyphs".

However, hieroglyphic script was more complex than just the 24 basic unilaterals - the "alphabet" also included bilaterals and trilaterals - symbols that represented 2 or 3 consonant sounds.

The wikipedia article linked below presents the unilaterals, bilaterals and trilaterals that are commonly assumed to make up the original Egyptian script.

Answer 3

There are no such letters. Egyptian Hieroglyphics is more similar to Japanese Kanji where each "letter" is a concept, a word, or a name of a ruler. For many years it was undecipherable because it had no one-to-one letter correspondence with ANY language. Hieroglyphics were partially deciphered when the Rosetta Stone was discovered. The stone had a text written in Egyptian Hieroglyphics with a Latin translation below it.

Answer 4

Egyptian Letters A-z

Answer 5

Hieroglyphics represents syllabic sounds, not letters. I don't read hieroglyphics, but I've seen a lot of shows on ancient Egypt.

I believe that it is like the shorthand that secretaries used to use. To write the word 'computer', for example, you might use the symbols that represent 'com', 'pu', and 'ter', rather than symbols for each letter.

Search for the Cairo Museum, they are very active in promoting and studying Egyptology, so they may have what you're looking for.

Answer 6

Hieroglyphics is a picture language. There is no alphabet. The Egyptians culture predate the alphabet which came them the Phoenicians, Hench the world "Phonics"

Answer 7

It dosent work like that the different hieroglyphs represent differnt things and or sounds and dont usually fit in with our English letters and sounds. Blessed be.

Answer 8

They did actually use them as letters. Check some examples out here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hieroglyphics

Answer 9

Well, dear, you won't find them because hieroglyphics are not a phoenetic language (phoenetic = symbols represent sounds). It is pictographic, and each pictogram represents a word or idea. So there really would be no straight-up equivalent.

Answer 10

Egyptian heiroglyphic writing uses a combination of alphabet signs, ideographs, and logographs, so there is not an A-Z equivalent, as such. That being said, there is a nice chart at Wikipedia:

Answer 11

My computer types only in letters. Egyptian
writing was done in "pictographs" One pictograph could mean many words like,
"great Pharaoh of the people in the valley and the deserts of the Nile River in the 14th dynasty"
