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

This is true and there are more forms of hieroglyphs that were native to africa not just Egypt.

@@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. Regardless, those ancient & now mostly dead languages were related to each other somehow, yet modern Egyptians speak something else entirely different altogether & of foreign origin. By the way, thanks for informing that there were more than one variety of Egyptian back then.

[@al_scheep]

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.

[@axil424]

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…

[@moneteherring6095]

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.

[@K1z0ku]

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.

[@rikjamesguitare]

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?

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

[@K1z0ku]

@@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.

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.

[@danielled8665]

@@mud213 so kinda like “C” in English can be Cereal or Caught, completely different sounds for the same letter?

[@mud213]

@@danielled8665 The storied past of the letter c is an interesting one, but actually pretty different. From Greek into Latin it was used to represent /k/. Once Latin evolved into Vulgar Latin, in some dialects (namely French) it was pronounced more like /ts/ like in the word "lance." Over time this drifted further to just be provided as /s/ in certain context. ;) The r-l merger has to do with both being pronounced the same. You can see this in various Eastern Asian dialects. Like most rhotic sounds, the sound of English is rather difficult for a non-native speaker as it requires your tongue to be in a rather specific place to sound right. Many languages (including this version of Ancient Egyptian) do not have both sounds in their inventory. I'm fact, doing an Egyptian "Alphabet" in general is a bit misleading since there are sounds in the language not expressed in the 26 letter Latin alphabet. There are 4 adjacent sounds, and a single character for and . With only 3 vowels of two lengths, the 5 vowel system doesn't quite map on either.

I went to a private school where you write your own textbooks whilst having the lectures. So at the end of three weeks, you would have to basically give the teacher your self-made version of a textbook which they would grade. I can remember that in like fourth grade we had three weeks of Egyptian history and for some reason, I decided to write my whole textbook in hieroglyphs. I don't think I finished it in time, but I got a good grade because my teacher loved the enthusiasm and for my dyslexic ass it was a great opportunity to get a good grade in a subject having to do with writing/spelling xD So I guess if, like me, you can't spell, and you happen to have Egyptian in class this might be a great lifehack. xxD

[@luma751]

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

[@juch3]

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.

[@dan339dan]

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.
