    HIEROGLYPHS ARE NOT MOSTLY LOGOGRAPHIC. This is one of the most pervasive myths surrounding them; the hieroglyphic writing system is mostly phonetic, with some ideographic elements. That house hieroglyph? Yes, it can simply represent a house, but it can also represent the syllable "pr," that is, how "house" sounded in Egyptian - same kind of principle that was applied in proto-Sinaitic, just using Egyptian words instead of Western Semitic ones. The water hieroglyph? Yes it can mean water, but more often it means the sound "n". The little man? Yes, it can mean person... or it can make the sound "i". This myth that Hieroglyphs were logographic stifled decipherment efforts for over a thousand years after they fell out of use, because the majority of people trying to figure out whet they said were trying to figure out codes that weren't there instead of learning the Egyptian language. Also, the Hieratic script is not a simpler alternative to the Hieroglyphic script, in fact it largely uses variations of the same symbols, it's simply a more abstracted form easier to write freehand. I have two videos about the decipherment of Hieroglyphs on my channel, as well as one discussing the origins of the Alphabet that goes over how Hieroglyphs became Proto-Sinaitic, and how Proto-Sinaitic eventually developed into the Latin Alphabet, if anyone wants to learn more.

    Same thing is true of Chinese hanzi and Japanese kanji... they have a very strong and underappreciated phonetic core. Of course the elements and radicals are used for semantic emphasis, but the core of the system is phonetic. Noticed the same thing is true for Mayan glyphs! A phonetic core may be a characteristic of several major writing systems frequently described as picto/logographic.

If you Google it and click on the top link, there's a good article on them! It mentions that at least 80% of Kanji use keisei moji. The introductory kanji are usually not phonetic, but the complicated ones often are. I don't know Egyptian hieroglyphic/phonetics very well, but recently learned that Mayan glyphs also often use glyphs phonetically!

It is a phonetic alphabet invented by a Korean king Sejong with some scholars which seems to have borrowed from the phagba script, from which Tibetan is another variant. 2. The Cherokee sylabary. Invented by chief Sequoiah, inspired by the Latin alphabet, with some glyphs looking quite like Latin characters, but used as (very different) sylables.

    Chinese is not related to the original Egyptian that evolve a Phonecian and Latin and Aramaic alphabet and so on, but even Japanese (hiragana/katakana) is not random and came from Chinese script. 利 (li) became り (ri), and 以 (yi) became い (i). There's a theory that the Korean Hangeul was inspired by the Mongolian Phags-pa script. If that theory turns out to be true (as well as the Indian Brahmi script from Aramaic) then Korean Hangeul would also be related to the other evolved alphabets mentioned in the video.

Dude, the king who personally made the new letter system wrote an instruction manual that describes how he came to invent them. He specifically wrote he made the consonants by replicating the oral structure when the each said letter was pronounced and he made vowels based of off symbolic traits of Chinese philosophy. He never once mentions this Phagspa letters in this manual, and the only word in the entire book some historians speculate it to be the vague alludement of the connection between the two is merely a mistranslation and misinterpretation of the English scholars...

    The Armenian and Georgian scripts were not derived from the Greek alphabet! There is some speculation among scholars that Mesrop Mashtots, the creator of the Armenian alphabet, may have been inspired by Greek, but even this is very unsure as there is hardly any ressemblance between either Armenian or Georgian and Greek (aside from letters borrowed later on like Ֆ for "F"). The only real similarity is in the order of the letters! In any case, your description is very misleading - you describe those alphabets as if they just naturally branched off from Greek... both were intentionally (and separately) created in the 5th century so as to translate the Bible into both Armenian and Georgian.

    A 2017 study by O'Connor et al. shows that men demonstrate more homophobic behavior when they are insecure about their masculinity. Researchers used a scale known as the "precarious manhood score." When subjects experienced a threat towards their sense of masculinity, those whose score rose demonstrated a propensity to find jokes funnier if the joke was at the expense of women or gay men. The research team theorizes that this serves as a defense mechanism to reassure oneself of his own manhood. The effect can occur in both straight and gay men. Have a blessed day :)

    actually runic writing is alot older than alot of the writing systems, its been shown to exist on every corner of the planet on very ancient artifacts, makes me wonder how much of this is garbled history. Theres also a theory that the writing system we have that was passed down is a combination of the different zodiac signs being split into two to form 2 different letters, seems to check out.

    I was wondering, isn't odia just like a cousin of Bangla, almost mutually intelligible. I was really interested (and still am) on linguistics and I am Bengali- American. I know a second language which is Bangla but I actually really don't know it, so I tried learning to read it and I researched a lot about it's history and culture and many other things. I learned its a descendant of Sanskrit and its related to many languages and dialects all over Bengal like Assamese and Odia, I wanted to research other similar dialects/ languages and found I could almost fully understand Odia and I'm not amazing in Bangla. I just thought it's very interesting. It sounds similar to the way I think when I hear old English. It's not even that close to Bangladesh physically but I can understand the language somewhat

    Great video... It's explain a lot... But you have one mistake... The Hebrew language ( the original letters called "ashurit") Have been here way before aramic and Acadian languages and letters... Because the Jewish people were the ones that use Hebrew and they been alive way before the acadians and aramic. But they never used the Hebrew language out of their holy places because it was a holly language for them and they aren't allowed to teach anyone who wasn't a Jew this holy language. Outside of their holy places they used the native languages that surrounded them, But in their holy places they speak only Hebrew (ashurit).
