WRITINGS AND SCRIPTS
HISTORY
The history of the alphabet, alphabets or abc began in ancient Egypt. Around 2700 BC, Egyptian writing in that time there was a group of some 24 hieroglyphs uniliterales are called to represent syllables that begin with a single consonant of their language, and a vocal (or vocal) to be supplied by the native speaker. These glyphs were used as pronunciation guides logograms, to write grammatical inflections, and later to transcribe loan words and foreign names.
However, although seemingly alphabetic in nature uniliterales characters original Egyptians, were not an alphabetic system, and were never used by themselves to encode Egyptian speech or as a means of translating your communication in writing.
PROTO-SINAITIC SCRIPT - MIDDLE BRONZE
In the Middle Bronze Age an apparently "alphabetic system" known as proto-Sinaitic script, believed by some that was developed in the Sinai Peninsula during the nineteenth century BC by the Cananea workers in the mines of turquoise Egyptian . Others suggest that the alphabet, alphabet or ABC, was developed in central Egypt in the fifteenth century BC by Semitic or workers, but only one of these early writings has been deciphered and their exact nature remains open to interpretation and subject of debate. On the basis of appearances letters and names, is believed to be based on an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic alphabet, ABC or abc for some for others simply a set of logograms that fail to be a complete alphabet, in the opinion of some knowledgeable.
These writings were not characters that represent the vowels. An alphabetical list of cuneiform signs with 30, including 3 that indicate the following vowel was then invented in Ugarit before the fifteenth century BC. This type of writing or a kind of alphabet, alphabet or ABC, was not used after the destruction of Ugarit.
The script Proto-Sinaitic eventually became the alphabet, Phoenician alphabet or ABC in 1050 BC, the alphabet is conventionally called "alphabet, abc alphabet or proto-Canaanite." The earliest Phoenician writing is an inscription on the sarcophagus of King Ahiram. This script is a set of inscriptions from the parents of all Western alphabets. In the tenth century, two forms can be distinguished namely, Canaanite and Aramaic. The alphabet, abc alphabet or Aramaic, somehow led to the alphabet, Hebrew alphabet or abc. South Arabia can say that is a sister of the alphabet, Phoenician alphabet and abc is the script of the Ge'ez alphabet (A abugida) is a descendant.
Note that the script above may not be considered complete alphabets as such, since all the characters lack of representation of vowels. These alphabet, ABC or abc vowelless called abjads. Today is exemplified in the script including the alphabet, abc alphabet or Arabic, the alphabet, Hebrew alphabet or abc, and the alphabet, abc alphabet or Syriac. The omission of vowels was not a satisfactory solution and some consonants "weak" are used to indicate the vocal quality of a syllable. (Matres lectionis). These have a dual role as consonants were also used as pure.
PROTO-PROTOUGARÍTICAABC SINATIC
The proto-Protougaríticaabc Sinatic or writing with a limited number of signs, in contrast to other writing systems used at the time, Cuneiform, Egyptian hieroglyphics, and Linear B. The Phoenician script was probably the first phonemic script and contained only about two dozen different cards, so it is a fairly simple script for stock traders and thus facilitate the process of amprendizaje and dissemination of the same between them . Another advantage of the alphabet, Phoenician alphabet and abc was that it could be used to write in several languages, as it recorded the words phonetically.
THE INFLUENCE OF THE PHOENICIANS IN THE EXPANSION OF THE ALPHABET
Writing, alphabet, alphabet or ABC, was broadcast by the Phoenicians, through the Mediterranean. In Greece, the alphabet, alphabet or ABC, was amended to add the vowels, giving rise to the ancestor of all Western alphabets. The indication of the vowels is the same way as an indication of the consonants, so that was the first true alphabet, ABC or abc. The Greeks took letters that represent sounds that existed in Greek, and changed to represent vowels. The vowels are important in the Greek language, and Linear B syllabical of writing that was used by the Mycenaean Greeks from the sixteenth century BC, had 87 symbols, including 5 vowels. In its early years, there were many variants of the alphabet, Greek alphabet or ABC, a situation that led many alphabets, alphabet or ABC, will evolve differently
