Prior to the invention of the alphabet, the initial writing system was based on pictograms called hieroglyphs, or wedge wedges created by pushing the stylus into a soft clay. Because these methods require too many symbols to identify each word, writing is limited to a small group of complex, well-trained small groups. Someday in 2,000 BC. (Estimated between 1850 and 1700 BC), the Jewish group adapted some of the Egyptian hieroglyphs to represent the voices of their languages. This ancestor notation is generally considered to be the first alphabetical notation. In this notation, the unique symbol represents a single consonant (vowel is omitted). The alphabet of this consonant (also called abjad) is written from right to left and is spread by the Phoenician sea merchants occupying modern Lebanon, Syria, Israel. More accessible and wide range
By the 8th century BC, the Phoenician text spread to Greece, where it was refined and strengthened to record the Greek language. Some Phoenician letters were retained and others were deleted, but the most important innovation is the use of letters to represent vowels. Many scholars believe it is this addition - allowing text to be read and pronounced without ambiguity - it marks the creation of the first "real" alphabet
Originally Greek was written from right to left, but eventually it turned into a boustrophedon (literally meaning to rotate like a cow) - the direction of writing alternates with each line. By the 5th century BC, the direction fell from the right wing into the pattern we are using today. Over time, the Greek alphabet generated several other characters including Cyrillic letters of Latin in Europe and modern Russian letters.
At least in the 8th century BC the Greeks borrowed Phoenician letters, adapted it to their own language, and in the process created the first "real" alphabet. The vowel was in the same position as a consonant. According to Greek legend from Herodotus, this alphabet was brought to Greece by Carmothy from Phoenicia. The letters of the Greek letters are the same as those of the alphabet of the Phoenician letters, and the two alphabets are arranged in the same order. However, separate vowels actually hinder the readability of Egyptians, Phoenicians, or Hebrews, but their lack is a problem for Greeks whose vowels are more important. Role Greeks used vowels to represent Phoenician letters representing consonants that were not used in Greek. All letters of the Phoenician letters begin with consonants, which are represented by letters called prosodic principles.
Greek is written in Greek from around the 9th century BC. It was created by using some letters to change the Phoenician character to represent the vowel innovation. A variant of the alphabet used today is basically a late ionic variant introduced to write a classic attic basically in 403 BC. In classical Greek, just like the classical Latin, only capital letters exist. Lower case letters of Greek letters are developed later by the medieval scribe and use the ink and feather pens to provide a faster and more convenient writing style.
