      I actually wonder how the Chinese and the Japanese handle dictations, given that some characters have 9 or more strokes and are just one syllable when pronounced.

    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. 🤓

      @@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.

    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
      @axil424 3 роки тому +32

      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…

      @@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.

      @@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.
