Ancient Egypt didn't spoke Egyptian, it's like saying Chinese spoke Chinese There was more than 35 seperate languages spoke in ancient Egypt with many forms of writing, with 3 to 4 forms of heigrolyph and it wasn't used by all Egyptians
@@ahmadal_shanqeety802 Dude's not wrong though. 'Egyptian' in this case doesn't have to mean a single language; it could mean a FAMILY of languages instead, just like the case with Chinese.

This makes me even more proud of the egyptian people who carved hieroglyphs into temples. It was already hard with carving the stone and with how high up the words reach - but with letters like these, it must've taken forever. Lotsa patience and skill they had
When I was about 8 years old we had an Encycloped set I used to look through all the time. I came across an image of the Rosetta stone. I didn't know what it was but when I seen the hieroglyphs I was fascinated. With a magnifying glass I copied into a notebook every glyph line for line. I self figured out it reads top to bottom. Spent hours.
I had the World Book Encyclopedia set at my house growing up. This was in the early to mid 1990s. The set was fairly old. The US Presidents ended with Carter still in office so it had to be the 1980/81 edition, lol. In the beginning of every book the was the English letter as well as the Greek and Egyptian glyph. I remember memorizing most of the letters as well as the periodic table of elements. 🤓
These are not just snakes and birds, each of these letters carries stories, sermons and authority, we are talking about letters since more than 5 thousand years BC, the drawing did not exist then.

It might not be too far of a coincidence. Egyptian Alphabet was an evolution from Egyptian Geroglyphs, which later influenced Greek Alphabet, which later influenced Latin Alphabet.
For everyone who is confused, these phonograms roughly correspond to how our letters sound. They are not the where our characters are derived from.

The hieroglyphs maker was too eiger at making A that it took too much time, he made the next ones simpler. But the supervisor came in to check when he made M.
as someone who's obsessed with ancient Egypt, some of these aren't exactly accurate;; if you're trying to write actual ancient symbols used in stuff like artifacts and organ jars, then this isn't the right alphabet. the most obvious thing that tells me this is the symbol for L, which should be a lion laying down, not. that. I don't know how to describe it. it's kinda like modern Japan in a way, that multiple alphabets are used at once, the difference being that they were exclusive to some social castes.
I was about to comment the same thing! I too am obsessed with Egypt. One thing to keep in mind when writing their alphabet is that there are multiple symbols for some of the letters. This is because their alphabet is based on sounds rather than just symbols. Take “a” for example. I know of 2 symbols that work for “a”. One is the symbol depicted in this video. Another is an arm. The one in this video would represent a tall “a” while the arm represents the flat “a”. Does this make sense? I would like to see a corrected version of this video if possible…
I was just about to say the samething. I took a whole gifted and talented summer course on Ancient Egypt. While you did a great job just do a bit more research to get the correct pictures for the letters.
Noticed the "L" thing too (because I remembered that "Cleopatra" had a lion for an "L"). But most of the consonants seem to be in the right ballpark. Not sure about tricky ones like x, q, or c, but simple ones like b,d,f,k,m,n,p,r,s,t seem to be right.
Damn, finally I know now! I never realized they had an alphabet system. I used to think it was all pure characters, like Chinese. But this does make more sense, alphabet system + characters. More like Japanese, they utilize Kanji characters, and the hirigana and katakana alphabets. Does ancient Egypt, alongside the characters, have just one alphabet? Or more? Cheers btw for the info, learn something new everyday
For daily use, they used a very cursive and more standardized form called Hieratic which is much more reasonable (and eventually an even more cursive form, Demotic, which reduced the number of glyphs a lot)...
FF: U, V, and W /were/ basically the same letter back in the days, V was a consonant U in ancient greece, and W stands for V in german and probably other germanic languages
In Egyptian Hieroglyphics, there are no vowels, so, If you want to write U then u write W (Quail chick) because it is the nearest hieroglyph. Same thing happens to I and E that uses Y and YY
Fun fact: The Ancient Egyptian written language (Heiroglyphs) had no Vowels. It was mostly consonants. So names and words such as as Tutankhamun were actually written as Ttnkhmn. Linguists just filled in random vowels as place holders, so we don't really know how words were actually pronounced
linguistics student here: to say that linguists just filled in "random" vowels would do injustice to their research. based on dialects, reconstruction and vowel properties linguists can determine some of the vowels, or at least limit it to a front or a back vowel etc. what ancient and old Egyptian sounded like is still very uncertain but vowel properties sometimes influence the consonants and the other way around. when looked at cognates of the words in other languages, an educated estimation or the vowel can also be made
@@tyouking3449 Sorry, but are you crazy or something? *ARABIC IS THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF EGYPT* and most egyptians don't even know anything about hieroglyphics. Don't be stupid , *please!!*

There is no difference It maybe that pronouncing that bird: v, w or u is ok in the word Or, the language itself got a totally different system from regular alphabet we are used to but nowadays guys try to make it like what we use Not sure
@@kekake The thing is, Egyptians didn't mark vowels in their writing. Lots of writing systems originating in the Fertile Crescent omit them. Hebrew, Arabic and Tifinagh (berber writing system) still don't use it. What is represented here as vowels are either approximations or guesswork. The glyphs for "a" and "o" are actually glottal stops (the thing you do between vowels in "Uh-oh" in English for example), the quail that represents UVW - is just a "w" sound. the double diagonal line is "j" as in "Johann", as is a reed leaf used for "I" and "y". But since when discussing Ancient Egyptian and their names and stuff we can't really say "jmhtp 'mnhtp", "wsrkf", jpt-swt" we came up with arbitrary rules that state that we will use "A" after the glottal stop, "u" after the "w" sound, "ee" after the "j" and so these clusters of consonants became "Imhotep", "amenhotep", "userkaf", "Ipet-Sut" etc. It's almost certainly not the way ancient egyptians pronounced it. "Tutankhamun" may have been pronounced "Twet-onkh-yemeni" or "Tweet-on-khu-yo-man", but we have to use something. Call it an educated guess. All we know that it's something with "Twt'nkh'mn" and some vowels sprinkled in-between. There are SOME glimpses of what vowels were used in certain words, when certain names are being transcribed from one language to another (e.g. ancient greek or babylonian), and for example we can say that god Amun's name almost certainly starts with an "A", but it could be "Amun", "Amon" or "Amen". But that doesn't mean that the sound of glottal stop is always followed by "A" sound in every word.
Heres something to help you remember the symbols in alphabets: A - is a bird B - is a leg C - is a headset D - is a piece of log or a stick E - is for a path F - is a slug G - is a furnace or a mouth or a plane wing H - is a start of a maze but ends in a dead end I - is a flag or a knife J - is a snake K - is a tea cup a pan or an upside down turtle looking outside its shell L - is an oblong M - is an owl N - is literally a squiggly line O - is rope tied to a balloon P - is a square Q - is a mountain R - a bigger oblong S - a rope T - is a small hill U - is a baby bird V - is also a baby bird but with a flat head W - is a smaller baby bird X - is a ball Y are two knifes or flags Z - is an eye There are a lot of birds in their alphabets its a little hard to differentiate lol
@@momyma Yes, but it's not because of that. The hieroglyph for L and R were the same too, the pronounciation of it varied between TT as in "letter", L as in "link", Y as in "yellow" or even mute (that is, in middle egyptian, in old egyptian it is kinda unclear, but possibly TT as in "letter" and dialectally L as in "link").
Very nice. It is frustrating to write hieroglyph when you look at your horrible tilted and like trembling results. My teacher taught us some stilized 'shortcut' version of the most difficult....for the ssake of our classes. The alphabetical series of eg. hieroglyph though it is not an alphabet but an abjad. The vulture is not the vowel 'a' but the consonant glottal stop...
Yes and no. The egyptian language was written with an alphabetic script but it didn't have a lot of vowels, so they'd often substitute consonants like w, h and j to represent letters like o, u, i, etc. For examples Osiris is spelled as wsjr.
Fun stuff, some inaccuracies or clarifications needed. The L hieroglyph should have been a lion in the sphinx pose, not the same mouth glyph used for the R sound. The Y and E glyphs represent the same sound with the double Reed or for short, double hash mark. I don't believe they have a distinct V so I think we use F interchangeably. There's also a second A sound for the "ah" sound which looks like a bent arm with a hand faced up.
Me to. I've connected so much from the ancient tablets and what they tried telling us thru symbolism -hence why the speak with such manner" and religious beliefs and tribal beliefs as well. Crazy world
Yes that is true, however they transformed into an alphabet over time and in that transition they could use a pictogramm as a sign for its dominant sound similar to an alphabet
Like japanese today, at one point hieroglyph character can represent a phonetic sound, a syllable, or a whole word (ideograms) all together depending on context.
In Japanese (also happened at a point in Korean, Vietnamese), certain original borrowed Chinese characters were used to represent the sound they make instead. Also, as a matter of fact in Japanese, they went even further and simplified those phonetic characters: Chinese characters -> manyogana -> hiragana/katagana.
@@bulletsfordinner8307 You're totally right. Modern Occident created that alphabet for the main public, but there wasn't anythimg like that. Ancient Egypt scripture is far more difficult😅😅
If you've never heard the story about traders from Canaan (Lebanon) who went to ancient Egypt (Kemet) you should it's amazing. The gist of it is words were bad puns island would be a picture of an eye plus a picture of land. The Canaanites saw the hieroglyphs and had an epiphany that the hieroglyphs making a B sound could be used as that sound not the meaning of the hieroglyph.

I was just about to say the samething. I took a whole gifted and talented summer course on Ancient Egypt. While you did a great job just do a bit more research to get the correct pictures for the letters.
Noticed the "L" thing too (because I remembered that "Cleopatra" had a lion for an "L"). But most of the consonants seem to be in the right ballpark. Not sure about tricky ones like x, q, or c, but simple ones like b,d,f,k,m,n,p,r,s,t seem to be right.
Damn, finally I know now! I never realized they had an alphabet system. I used to think it was all pure characters, like Chinese. But this does make more sense, alphabet system + characters. More like Japanese, they utilize Kanji characters, and the hirigana and katakana alphabets. Does ancient Egypt, alongside the characters, have just one alphabet? Or more?
Cheers btw for the info, learn something new everyday
Yeah I remembered there being a lion for L but when they didn’t write it I was confused

Imagine how long it took to etch this into stone.. Let alone write it. I mean even the process of making papyrus itself is pretty tedious.

For daily use, they used a very cursive and more standardized form called Hieratic which is much more reasonable (and eventually an even more cursive form, Demotic, which reduced the number of glyphs a lot)...

u, v, w:
“Corporate wants you to find the difference between these pictures.”
“They’re the same picture.”
FF: U, V, and W /were/ basically the same letter back in the days, V was a consonant U in ancient greece, and W stands for V in german and probably other germanic languages
@@accuratejaney8140 i think the W = V thing applies to slavic languages too
Teacher: Tell the difference between these two pictures (v & w)
Me: They're the same picture
In Egyptian Hieroglyphics, there are no vowels, so, If you want to write U then u write W (Quail chick) because it is the nearest hieroglyph. Same thing happens to I and E that uses Y and YY
@@plasmoasis Yea, mostly. The czech and the russian language for example don't use W at all.
書き方ではなく、描き方です。
Fun fact: The Ancient Egyptian written language (Heiroglyphs) had no Vowels. It was mostly consonants. So names and words such as as Tutankhamun were actually written as Ttnkhmn. Linguists just filled in random vowels as place holders, so we don't really know how words were actually pronounced
linguistics student here: to say that linguists just filled in "random" vowels would do injustice to their research. based on dialects, reconstruction and vowel properties linguists can determine some of the vowels, or at least limit it to a front or a back vowel etc. what ancient and old Egyptian sounded like is still very uncertain but vowel properties sometimes influence the consonants and the other way around. when looked at cognates of the words in other languages, an educated estimation or the vowel can also be made

I adore the differences between u, v, and w. It would be very confusing to others who will think we just couldn’t draw the beaks the same.
*not me trying to figure out the difference, but realises that back then there wasn't much to differentiate between v, u and w, also l and r*
I am unable to see any difference between them,can you please tell me the differences.
There is no difference
It maybe that pronouncing that bird: v, w or u is ok in the word
Or, the language itself got a totally different system from regular alphabet we are used to but nowadays guys try to make it like what we use
Not sure
@@kekake The thing is, Egyptians didn't mark vowels in their writing. Lots of writing systems originating in the Fertile Crescent omit them. Hebrew, Arabic and Tifinagh (berber writing system) still don't use it. What is represented here as vowels are either approximations or guesswork. The glyphs for "a" and "o" are actually glottal stops (the thing you do between vowels in "Uh-oh" in English for example), the quail that represents UVW - is just a "w" sound. the double diagonal line is "j" as in "Johann", as is a reed leaf used for "I" and "y".
But since when discussing Ancient Egyptian and their names and stuff we can't really say "jmhtp 'mnhtp", "wsrkf", jpt-swt" we came up with arbitrary rules that state that we will use "A" after the glottal stop, "u" after the "w" sound, "ee" after the "j" and so these clusters of consonants became "Imhotep", "amenhotep", "userkaf", "Ipet-Sut" etc.
It's almost certainly not the way ancient egyptians pronounced it. "Tutankhamun" may have been pronounced "Twet-onkh-yemeni" or "Tweet-on-khu-yo-man", but we have to use something. Call it an educated guess. All we know that it's something with "Twt'nkh'mn" and some vowels sprinkled in-between.
There are SOME glimpses of what vowels were used in certain words, when certain names are being transcribed from one language to another (e.g. ancient greek or babylonian), and for example we can say that god Amun's name almost certainly starts with an "A", but it could be "Amun", "Amon" or "Amen". But that doesn't mean that the sound of glottal stop is always followed by "A" sound in every word.

Heres something to help you remember the symbols in alphabets:
A - is a bird
B - is a leg
C - is a headset
D - is a piece of log or a stick
E - is for a path
F - is a slug
G - is a furnace or a mouth or a plane wing
H - is a start of a maze but ends in a dead end
I - is a flag or a knife
J - is a snake
K - is a tea cup a pan or an upside down turtle looking outside its shell
L - is an oblong
M - is an owl
N - is literally a squiggly line
O - is rope tied to a balloon
P - is a square
Q - is a mountain
R - a bigger oblong
S - a rope
T - is a small hill
U - is a baby bird
V - is also a baby bird but with a flat head
W - is a smaller baby bird
X - is a ball
Y are two knifes or flags
Z - is an eye
There are a lot of birds in their alphabets its a little hard to differentiate lol
D is a hand and I a feather
Y is two reeds, according to Only Connect

D is more like a...

No one gonna mention the bird that represents "A" makes an A with its legs?
No one

You'll never know
The bird makes an A with its legs. There, I mentioned it.
They went all out on the letters A M U V W
Well, when the language saw use, U V and W were all pronounced the same
L and R use the same letter
Similar to korean and japanese
@@momyma Yes, but it's not because of that. The hieroglyph for L and R were the same too, the pronounciation of it varied between TT as in "letter", L as in "link", Y as in "yellow" or even mute (that is, in middle egyptian, in old egyptian it is kinda unclear, but possibly TT as in "letter" and dialectally L as in "link").

Very nice. It is frustrating to write hieroglyph when you look at your horrible tilted and like trembling results. My teacher taught us some stilized 'shortcut' version of the most difficult....for the ssake of our classes.
The alphabetical series of eg. hieroglyph though it is not an alphabet but an abjad. The vulture is not the vowel 'a' but the consonant glottal stop...

Yes and no. The egyptian language was written with an alphabetic script but it didn't have a lot of vowels, so they'd often substitute consonants like w, h and j to represent letters like o, u, i, etc. For examples Osiris is spelled as wsjr.
@@kennyaustin429 they just didn't use vowels at all. They used pure abjad.

Dude, this guy saved my history grade. I need to do a mind map on this and he just saved me.
Fun stuff, some inaccuracies or clarifications needed. The L hieroglyph should have been a lion in the sphinx pose, not the same mouth glyph used for the R sound. The Y and E glyphs represent the same sound with the double Reed or for short, double hash mark. I don't believe they have a distinct V so I think we use F interchangeably. There's also a second A sound for the "ah" sound which looks like a bent arm with a hand faced up.

I’ve loved learning about Ancient Egypt ever since I was a little girl. The hieroglyphics are wonders to me.
Me to. I've connected so much from the ancient tablets and what they tried telling us thru symbolism -hence why the speak with such manner" and religious beliefs and tribal beliefs as well. Crazy world

@@brain0068 the x is a scam, its just z
didn't they like use pictograms that signify something kinda like kanji and did not have an alphabet?
Yes that is true, however they transformed into an alphabet over time and in that transition they could use a pictogramm as a sign for its dominant sound similar to an alphabet
Like japanese today, at one point hieroglyph character can represent a phonetic sound, a syllable, or a whole word (ideograms) all together depending on context.
In Japanese (also happened at a point in Korean, Vietnamese), certain original borrowed Chinese characters were used to represent the sound they make instead. Also, as a matter of fact in Japanese, they went even further and simplified those phonetic characters: Chinese characters -> manyogana -> hiragana/katagana.
Yes it was not an alphabet at all. The creator just wanted to show how it is phonetically I believe
@@bulletsfordinner8307 You're totally right. Modern Occident created that alphabet for the main public, but there wasn't anythimg like that. Ancient Egypt scripture is far more difficult😅😅
If you've never heard the story about traders from Canaan (Lebanon) who went to ancient Egypt (Kemet) you should it's amazing. The gist of it is words were bad puns island would be a picture of an eye plus a picture of land. The Canaanites saw the hieroglyphs and had an epiphany that the hieroglyphs making a B sound could be used as that sound not the meaning of the hieroglyph.
