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.
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. 🤓

@@Nightdreaux22647 wrong, pyramid stones are made from scarab beetle dung. They wet those with Nile water and poof just like popcorn and slowly hardens like the heart of Putin. 🤔🤔🤔
@@luxinvictus9018 Yes, actually, there's no Vowels in hieroglyph. That video used '𓅱(w)' for the letter 'U' and '𓍯(something like ua/w)' for the letter 'O'
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)...
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.
So does that mean that the Latin alphabet translates directly into the ancient Egyptian writing system? And what is the explanation for so many repeated characters? Didn't they have other characters for phonemes that are not present with a single character in English (like the sounds made with sh (shoes), ch (church), th (think), dh (there), zh (vision), etc.)?
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
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.
@@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").
@@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!!*
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
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😅😅
@@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.
hieroglyphs were a complete written language, with grammar, pronouns, adjectives, past, future tense etc. basically there are 3 types phonetic - represents sound logographic - is basically a picture (usually indicated with a stroke) determinative - helps determine the meaning of the word before it but even with logograms being used, its still a written language so its not just talking about birds if it was just picture writing, everyone would be able to read it

You can't write the alphabet in hieroglyphs, to start with hieroglyphs don't represent letters, they represent concepts, ideas, themes, scenes and all sorts. You could never translate a wall in Luxor with this lol.
From what I understand hieroglyphs were used both semantically and phonetically. It seems reasonable to take characters based on their native phonetic use and apply them to European phonetics. (In fact, it was exactly this process that lead to the creation of the alphabet.) Now, knowing the phonetic uses of common characters won't let you read ancient Egyptian on its own, but then again neither can you read Japanese if you only know kana but not kanji, or English if you only know the alphabet but not the language's numerous spelling irregularities.
@@latotheleaf2223 It's true that it's not the same as the letters that became the alphabet. For example the letter that became "A" originally meant "bull" and the letter that became "B" originally meant house (or room or something). But I think the intent of the video was to use - any - hieroglyphs with phonetics that matched the corresponding English letter. With that said, it seems to me like this is the alphabet in hieroglyphs. Or more specifically it's one possible transliteration.

If this was correct there would only be 3 birds, w and u are the same letter, not separated as this pictures and there shouldn't be a "V" at all
uvw are all 'u' it made me eye-bird-eye
@@Swan234 so how did they text uwu?
@@TrueFork they didn't. If they tried they would be sacrificed to uwusiris

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)...

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.

So does that mean that the Latin alphabet translates directly into the ancient Egyptian writing system? And what is the explanation for so many repeated characters? Didn't they have other characters for phonemes that are not present with a single character in English (like the sounds made with sh (shoes), ch (church), th (think), dh (there), zh (vision), etc.)?

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

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.
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").

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

It's not just handwriting, it's an art
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😅😅

lmao I thaught that comment would be at least ten years ago XD
@@mud213 so kinda like “C” in English can be Cereal or Caught, completely different sounds for the same letter?
@@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.
Loving the fact they went like “full commitment” on inventing the first letter and then didn’t care anymore lol

I thought hieroglyphics were like comics rather than being their own written languages..
I think it’s some of both
hieroglyphs were a complete written language, with grammar, pronouns, adjectives, past, future tense etc.
basically there are 3 types
phonetic - represents sound
logographic - is basically a picture (usually indicated with a stroke)
determinative - helps determine the meaning of the word before it
but even with logograms being used, its still a written language
so its not just talking about birds
if it was just picture writing, everyone would be able to read it

You can't write the alphabet in hieroglyphs, to start with hieroglyphs don't represent letters, they represent concepts, ideas, themes, scenes and all sorts. You could never translate a wall in Luxor with this lol.
Basically The Hieroglyphs are logograms (ideograms) + consonant letters + determinatives
Finally , I've found an educated person.

"I'm egyptian by the way 🇪🇬♥️"
From what I understand hieroglyphs were used both semantically and phonetically. It seems reasonable to take characters based on their native phonetic use and apply them to European phonetics. (In fact, it was exactly this process that lead to the creation of the alphabet.)
Now, knowing the phonetic uses of common characters won't let you read ancient Egyptian on its own, but then again neither can you read Japanese if you only know kana but not kanji, or English if you only know the alphabet but not the language's numerous spelling irregularities.
@@evanseifert8858 cool story bro, this isn't the alphabet in hieroglyphs.
@@latotheleaf2223 It's true that it's not the same as the letters that became the alphabet. For example the letter that became "A" originally meant "bull" and the letter that became "B" originally meant house (or room or something).
But I think the intent of the video was to use - any - hieroglyphs with phonetics that matched the corresponding English letter.
With that said, it seems to me like this is the alphabet in hieroglyphs. Or more specifically it's one possible transliteration.
I really appreciate the greatness of your handwriting, and I was wondering if you could do one with Tifinagh (Amazigh alphabet), with your cool handwriting, it would be awesome, and by the way, it dates to the same period as ancient egyptian
