Egyptian hieroglyphics language
are images used as signs in writing. These images reflect drawings of
living creatures or parts of living creatures or objects. The ancient
Egyptian, when he thought to record events, nature was the source of
inspiration for him, including natural phenomena and living things, so
he thought to transfer some of nature and surrounding
environment to use the image of the meanings he wants to express, Which
means expressing its image.
If a person is drawn, he means to express
the human, as well as the members of the human body, or animal and its
members, as well as birds, reptiles insects, and then there are trees,
plants, mountains, seas and rivers.
However,
the Egyptian hieroglyphics words already written in this way are very
few. Instead, Egyptian hieroglyphic symbols have also been used to
express the sounds of words in the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics
language, just as in current languages such as Arabic, English, etc.
They are letters that make up the sounds of words, and Egyptian
hieroglyphics are signs that form the voices of words.
This
is the common usage among the scholars of Egyptology, which is the
Latinization of the sounds of hieroglyphic words. This method is a good
system from the beginning and we encourage the ancient Egyptian
hieroglyphics language learners to use this translation when reading the
ancient Egyptian language.
The strange thing about this method is that Egyptian hieroglyphics did not write down the vowel letters (a, e, i,
o, u) as in some Semitic languages that use only consonants. Although
this sounds strange to the study of European languages such as English,
French, and German, the reader will get used to it easily. In any case,
scholars are familiar with the use of fractions to separate consonants
in the Egyptian hieroglyphics language by not knowing the exact
pronunciation.
The marks used in the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics writing, in terms of use, are divided into two main types:
“Indicograms”:
the signs that indicate the meaning of the word, there are languages
still rely on this method of graphic writing in Chinese writing. Some
modern expression methods still use this method like “♥” as love.
“Phonograms”:
They are signs that indicate a particular sound in the word such as the
letters in the current languages. If they differ in their diversity,
they are divided into the following
