Early writing systems like Egyptian hieroglyphics and Sumerian cuneiform used pictographs or ideographs to represent words and ideas. The Phoenician alphabet originated around 1500 BC and was one of the first to use letters to represent consonant sounds. The Greek alphabet expanded on this to represent each sound with a single letter, helping form the foundation of the Roman alphabet which added letters and became the most widely used writing system globally. Spelling can be phonetic, semantic, or etymological based on representing sounds, shared meanings, or original word origins respectively.

Amarigna & Tigrigna Qal HieroglyphsLegesse Allyn

��

This document is a preface to a book that aims to show that the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic language is related to the Ethiopian and Eritrean languages of Amharic and Tigrigna. It discusses how the author, who is Ethiopian, believes he has uncovered meanings in the hieroglyphs by matching words to Amharic and Tigrigna. While this would be surprising to many Egyptologists, the preface argues that given ancient connections between Egypt and the Ethiopian/Eritrean regions, the author's claims deserve consideration rather than outright rejection. It encourages Egyptologists and scholars of the Ethiopian/Eritrean regions to examine the book and research with an open

This document provides information about English orthography and compares it to other writing systems. It discusses the history and development of the English spelling system from Old English to modern times. Key points include that English orthography is irregular due to influences from other languages and lacks consistent letter-sound correspondence. The summary also notes that moving to English spelling poses different challenges depending on a student's first language writing system, such as alphabetic vs. syllabic scripts. Teachers can use knowledge of students' native orthographies to scaffold literacy instruction.

Short History of the english languageIvan Pinto

- The English language originated with Germanic tribes like the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes invading Britain in the 5th century AD and displacing the native Celtic language. Their language was called Old English. - In 1066, William the Conqueror invaded England from Normandy bringing Norman French, which became the language of royalty and nobility. English became dominant again in the 14th century but incorporated many French words. - Major changes from 1500-1800 included the Great Vowel Shift in pronunciation and the adoption of many new words from Britain's global expansion and the Renaissance, helping standardize the language.

Brief history of EnglishJosé Antonio Alcalde López

English originated from Germanic tribes invading Britain in the 5th century AD and bringing their Anglo-Saxon language. Over centuries, English absorbed words from Latin during the Roman occupation, Old Norse from Viking invaders, and French following the Norman conquest in 1066. English became the dominant language of Britain and spread worldwide through the British Empire in the 18th-19th centuries, incorporating words from other languages. Today, English has over 1 billion speakers globally and continues to serve as a prominent international language despite having many regional varieties.
