Alphabet

The history of the alphabet began in ancient Egypt. By the year 2700 BC the Egyptian text had groups of about 22 hieroglyphs starting with a single consonant of their language and representing the vowel (or no vowel) provided by the speaker of the mother tongue. did. These glyphs are used as a pronunciation guide for the logo and you can write grammatical variations and later rewrite the loanwords and foreign names.

However, although at first glistening alphabetical order, the original Egyptian single literature is not a system, it was never used to code the Egyptian language. In the middle of the Bronze Age, some "letter" systems, known as primitive - Shinet letters, were thought to be developed for Egyptian semi-laborers or semi workers around 1700 BC. You can still explain the precise nature that has been deciphered. Based on the appearance and name of the alphabet, it is considered to be based on Egyptian hieroglyphs

The script evolved into the Hara Canaan alphabet which was finally refined to the Phoenician letter afterwards. It also developed into the South Arabic alphabet, and the Ge'ez letter (abugida) emerged from here. All of the above scripts are not regarded as correct alphabets, as there is no letter representing vowels. These early vowels are called Ajad, and they exist in scripts such as Arabic, Hebrew, and Syriac.

The Phoenicians were the first major phonetic notation. Compared to the other two widely used writing systems at the time, cuneiform and Egyptian hieroglyphs only contain about 22 different characters, so it's easy to learn for ordinary traders. Another advantage of the Phoenicians is that it can be used to write many different languages ​​as it records text.

The script was disseminated by the Phoenicians, whose Haifa system enabled scripts to spread in the Mediterranean. In Greece the script was modified to add vowels to generate the first genuine alphabet. Letters received by Greeks do not represent voices that are replaced by vowels that exist in Greek. This indicates the creation of a "real" character. It is used as an explicit symbol in a single script. In the early days, the Greek alphabet had various variations, which led to the evolution of various alphabets.

The Greek alphabet Cumae form was extended by Greek settlers from Eubia to the Italian peninsula, where it generated various alphabets used to represent italic languages. One of them became Latin alphabet, and as the Romans expanded their empire, it spread in Europe. Even after the collapse of the Roman era, this alphabet exists in intellectuals and religious works. It is eventually used in the language of the descendants of Latin (Roman) and is then used in other languages ​​in Europe.

The Latin alphabet is derived from Old Italic (originally a kind of Greek letter) for Etruscan and other languages. The origins of Rune characters are controversial and that the main theory was developed from the Latin alphabet itself, and some of the early italic alphabets developed from the Alps character and the Greek alphabet. In spite of this controversy, the Rune characters come from one or more letters, eventually following their roots to the Phoenician alphabet.

The Western Greek alphabet used in Cumae was adopted by Etruscans and Latinos in the 7th century BC and has evolved into a series of old italic alphabets including Etruscan letters for centuries after that. And early Latin letters. In Etruria, the value of Sigma (?) in Greece is maintained, St (?) represents a single phoneme, probably / ʃ / (transliteration §). The initial Latin alphabet used Sigma, but Sun did not use it. Because there was no / did / phoneme in Old Latin. The shape of Latin S comes from Greek Σ and one of the four strokes of that letter is missing. The 3-stroke (angled) S shape is the deformation of the 4-string pen character that exists in the gilded stone of the West Greek alphabet, the deformation of the 3 and 4 strokes is a classic Etruscan It is in the alphabet. Coexist with each other. In other italic letters (Venetic, Lepontic) letters can be represented as any number of zigzag lines between 3 and 6 strokes.
