how did all the alphabets get created?

Question

i mean who invented abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz???

Answer 1

The history of the alphabet starts in ancient Egypt. By 2700 BCE Egyptian writing had a set of some 22 hieroglyphs to represent syllables that begin with a single consonant of their language, plus a vowel (or no vowel) to be supplied by the native speaker. These glyphs were used as pronunciation guides for logograms, to write grammatical inflections, and, later, to transcribe loan words and foreign names.

However, although seemingly alphabetic in nature, the original Egyptian uniliterals were not a system and were never used by themselves to encode Egyptian speech. In the Middle Bronze Age an apparently "alphabetic" system is thought by some to have been developed in central Egypt around 1700 BCE for or by Semitic workers, but we cannot read these early writings and their exact nature remain open to interpretation.

Over the next five centuries this Semitic "alphabet" (really an abjad like Phoenician writing) seems to have spread north. All subsequent alphabets around the world with the sole possible exception of Korean Hangul have eit

Answer 2

Nearly all modern alphabets are descended from an alphabet invented 4000 years ago, probably by a group of people related to the ancient Hebrews, Phoenicians, and Canaanites, living in what is now the Sinai desert. They got the idea from the Egyptians, but used their own simplified pictures to represented consonant sounds. The Phoenicians and others of the region simplified the pictures further and often rotated them, but if you use your imagination, you can still make out where most of the 22 letters came from. If you turn the A with the point down, for example, you can see a representation of an ox head.

All the letters were for consonants, which is reasonable for Semitic languages like Phoenician, Hebrew, Arabic, and even Egyptian. Even aleph and ayin actually represent the glottal sounds that preceded the A's. Greek (and most other languages) desperately need to represent vowels as well, so they took a few of the consonants they didn't need, and turned them into vowels -- aleph being the obvious example. They then added a few symbols of their own to represent extra sounds they needed. Three unused letters were retained in the Greek numbering system.

The Phoenicians, like the Hebrews and Arabs today, wrote from right to left. The Greeks originally did the same, then changed to a system where they changed direction every line, and finally to the present system of left to right. This has passed down to all the modern European alphabets.-

Answer 3

Derived from both the Greek or Phoenician alphabet, which in flip derived from cuneiform writing, which in flip derived from glyphs, which in flip derived from drawings in partitions... and so forth. It's a method over many years, an alphabet is not only created out of skinny air. (Well it may be, however that's a contemporary factor, again then it used to be simply through the years).

Campbells Soup........ then the Post Cereal Co. took notice of it and made them into a breakfast cereal.

Answer 5
