Who made hieroglyphics?

Answer 1

The ancient Egyptian heiroglyphs are the most well-known and also were the first to be labeled as such. However, there are heiroglyphs (logographic writing systems) from other cultures, including Mayan, Anatolian, Cretan, etc.

'Heiroglyphs,' an ancient pictographic writing system that survives in stone carvings, comes from the Greek words 'heirós' (sacred) and 'glúphein' (to carve or write).

Who Made Hieroglyphics

Answer 3

English is based on 26 characters--letters. Letters that are combined into words...and then into sentences...which tell a story.

Ancient Egyptian writing uses more than 2,000 hieroglyphic characters. Each hieroglyph represents a common object in ancient Egypt. Hieroglyphs could represent the sound of the object or they could represent an idea associated with the object.

A modern type of hieroglyphic writings would be a rebus. A rebus is a picture puzzle that can be "sounded out" by reading the sounds symbolized by the pictures. When these sounds are read aloud together, the statements often becomes obvious.

Answer 6

I assume this is a hypothetical rather than a call for advice, so I will try to answer this in terms of logistics, rather than smother it with opinion. In many developed and developing nations denying a child literacy is considered a form of child abuse, which harms the child's Integration into a society heavily reliant on "scripted communications" based on universally accepted semiotics regardless of how contaminated they've become (with bad literature), you can survive without literacy but it cannot improve your autonomy in the times we live in. One "solution" to this problem is to move to a country with a low literacy rate and perhaps where implementing such a law is not always practical, if you go to a federal country like India or Pakistan, you may have to check regional laws. Then again as was suggested earlier, English doesn't come in just it's "Latin alphabet form", it could be written in Cyrillic, Greek, Georgian or Armenian alphabets, as well as the "Abjads" of Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi and other Modern Semitic Languages, or the "Abugidas" of Indic, Ethiopic,Thaana languages as well as Canadian aboriginal languages. Most other languages use either a syllabary or logography written language form which represents how the words are spoken. The most common logographic languages are in China (hanzi) , Japan (kanji) and Korea (hanga) based on Han Characters which represent what they symbolise rather than the phonetics of saying the word. The Syllabary "writing systems" include the likes of Cherokee, Kpelle, and other dialects without an origional scripted syllabary as well as Japanese Katakana and Hirogana, Korean Hangul, and the Standard Written Chinese forms of Cantonese, Shanghainese and Taiwanese that were based on Han Characters, This serves as a phonetic means to express a symbols and logograms. Modern Vietnamese uses a variant of the Latin alphabet, even though it's language is based from Ancient Chinese languages but the Latin alphabet has come into common usage, but Japanese katakana for example is an adapted form of the Han Characters used specifically to communicate "barrow words" from influential "foreign" languages on Japan such as English German, French and Dutch. The problem is of course that these writing systems are just that "writing systems" as is heiroglyphics too technically, you have to understand what each symbol means in order to read and to write the language. I mean heiroglyphs were not translated by accident, if the Rossetta Stone didn't have a Classical Greek element, modern archeologists and linguists would have no idea how to decipher hieroglyphs and the Demotic language. The problem with "English" is that it's too young a language to have something similar, the closest variant perhaps is ancient Celtic writings The short answer to your question is ... "Pictogram"
