Have you thought about how the Alphabet was found?

The history of the alphabet began in ancient Egypt. By 2700 BC, Egyptian writings had about 22 hieroglyphs representing syllables beginning with a single consonant of their language, and a vowel (or no vowel) practiced by native speakers. These glyphs were used as pronunciation guides for the lexical sign logograms, to write grammatical conjugations and later to adapt borrowed words and foreign names.

But while it may seem alphabetical in nature, the original Egyptian uniliterals were not a system and were never used on their own to encode Egyptian speech. An apparently "alphabetic" system known as Proto-Sinaitic writing during the Middle Bronze Age is thought to have been developed by some for or by Semitic workers in Central Egypt around 1700 BC, although only one of these early writings has been deciphered and the precise nature of their writings has not been interpreted. has remained open. Based on letter appearances and names, it is believed to be based on Egyptian hieroglyphs.

This writing eventually evolved into the Proto-Canaanite alphabet, which in turn was refined into the Phoenician alphabet. It also evolved into the Southern Arabic script, from which the Ge'ez script (an abugida) descended. It should be noted that the above-mentioned scripts are not considered proper alphabets, as not all of them contain characters representing vowels. These primitive vowelless alphabets are called abjad and are still found in writings such as Arabic, Hebrew, and Syriac.

Phoenician was the first major phonemic script. Unlike the other two writing systems in common at the time, cuneiform and Egyptian hieroglyphs, it contained only two dozen different letters, making it simple enough for ordinary merchants to learn. Another advantage of the Phoenician language was that it could be written in many different languages, since it recorded words phonemically.

Phoenician colonization allowed writing to spread across the Mediterranean. In Greece, the writing was modified to add vowels, and the first true alphabet appeared. The Greeks took letters that did not represent sounds that existed in Greek and changed them to represent vowels. This marks the creation of a "true" alphabet, in which both vowels and consonants are used as explicit symbols in a single script. In its early years there were many variants of the Greek alphabet, which caused many different alphabets to evolve from it.

The Cumae form of the Greek alphabet was carried by Greek colonists from Euboea to the Italian peninsula, where it gave rise to various alphabets used to write the Italic languages. One was the Latin alphabet, which spread across Europe as the Romans expanded their empire. Even after the fall of the Roman Empire, the alphabet continued to exist in intellectual and religious works. It eventually came to be used for languages ​​descended from Latin (Roman languages) and later for other languages ​​of Europe.
