@@user-xh9td7ts1l The theme of the video is letters originating from the Phoenician alphabet. What are these letters of origin? If their shape comes from "ч", then they are relevant to the topic. Do I remember correctly? ћ = чь, ђ = джь, џ = дж.
I also wanna add that in Greek, we have 3 "s" and not 2. "Σ" is the capital letter, "σ" is the small letter and "ς" is used if a word ends with "σ", so it gets replaced with "ς"
I don't understand what you mean by 3 S letters, apparently according to your comment u have 2 of them, u have that one that looks the number 3 with its small form that kinda looks like "ó". and the last one that is sorta similar in the way it looks to the French letter "ç". in fact a capital and a small forms of a letter're considered 1 letter not 2
@@yasser_labii He means that we have the two normal letters, one capital and one of the normal variation, while the final one is used only at the end of a word. Meaning that you can't put the normal "σ" on the end of a word, but only that "ς".
My history book had a table with the Phoenician alphabet and their greek and latin counterparts and me and a few friends learned to write in it to pass notes.

I found a mistake: in Cyrillic cursive the letter М MUST be written like Мм, and not Мm. Letter m represents a different sound /t/ (printed Тт). Also I think you forgot the letter Фф.
@@odin6369 no it doesn't. The Φ-like Phoenician letter is actually called Qoppa and it initially existed in Greek too but was soon discarded. Φ is a Greek addition, as are the 6 final letters.
@@georgios_5342 Its not comfirmed but imo pretty likely that Qoppa and Phi share the same origin due to their similar apperance and sound. Here is something from wikipedia that says so too "It may be that phi originated as the letter qoppa (Ϙ, ϙ), and initially represented the sound /kʷʰ/ before shifting to Classical Greek [pʰ]."
@@odin6369 Actually it's not entirely impossible, given that the simple kw becomes a p, it might very well be that the aspirated kwh becomes ph. Very interesting perspective, thanks!
In ancient Greece there were a few variations of the Greek alphabet, which were used by different city states. These variations varied in certain letters. The Greek alphabet you are using is actually the Attican alphabet. The alphabet that was used in the city state of Athens. Later, in the Roman era, this alphabet will become the standard for the Greek language and it will dominate over all other variations. Another version of the Greek alphabet, was the chalkidean. An alphabet used in the city state of Chalkida and its colonies. In the chalkidean alphabet, the letter Λ was written as L. Chalkida had colonies in Northern Italy. There, they came in touch with the etruscan culture (around 1000-900 BC). Etruscans adopted the chalkidean Greek alphabet as the writing system for their language. Later, the Romans will take the etruscan alphabet and adapt it to their own language. That's why, the Latin alphabet has so many common letters with the Greek alphabet. Actually, all it's letters are Greek, if we consider the fact that it does not derive from the attican alphabet, but from the chalkidean. Finally, the Greek alphabet had a few more letters that over the years were discontinued. This occurred before the classical era (1000-600 BC), and this is why we don't hear much about these letters. Some of these letters, since they didn't represent sounds any more, were used to represent numbers. For example, the number 6 in ancient greek was represented by such a discontinued letter. Others, were transformed and survived with other meanings. For example, there was a letter call digamma (two gamma), which was written with the symbol F. It sounded like the sound of two long gammas. I guess it was something like W (double u). As you can understand through the chalkidean alphabet, it entered the Latin and its sound was transformed to what we know today.
You missed one thing - now Greeks use the Ionian version, not the old Attic one. Athenians simply adopted it somewhen at the end of 5 century BCE if I am not mistaken, and then with the use of primarily Athenian-(Ionian-)Based koine it spreaded throughout the Greek world.
@@mareksagrak9527 the Athenians belonged to the Ionian tribe/clan. The athenian Greek was a sub dialect of the ionian dialect of the Greek language. Koine Greek (or simplified greek), was a dialect that was developed after the 3rd century BC and it was based on the athenian dialect.

- hey can I copy your homework? - yes, but don't make it too obvious. Their homework:
It is mostly because due the course of actions in the region. A lot of empires and their religious power would create new linguistic methods to write a language in. An example is the Brunei language which is a mix of Arabic and native letters
With a different phonology, the Greeks adapted the Phoenician script to represent their own sounds, including the vowels absent in Phoenician. It was possibly more important in Greek to write out vowel sounds: Phoenician being a Semitic language, words were based on consonantal roots that permitted extensive removal of vowels without loss of meaning, a feature absent in the Indo-European Greek. However, Akkadian cuneiform, which wrote a related Semitic language, did indicate vowels, which suggests the Phoenicians simply accepted the model of the Egyptians, who never wrote vowels. In any case, the Greeks repurposed the Phoenician letters of consonant sounds not present in Greek; each such letter had its name shorn of its leading consonant, and the letter took the value of the now-leading vowel.
@@user-fm7nq7ul2c No, Arabic derives from Old Semitic and it's definitely not the oldest language. The Phoenicians aren't "ancient Arabs". They spoke their own language, that was still semitic, but not Arabic.
A. P. Thank you for an excellent explanation. Great comment. Arabic followed a similar model as the Phoenician' with vowels not being represented if they were aspired softly.
@@alinedeleandro123 They are related as "cousins" (both are central semitic) but not like "father and son" (Phoenician is not ancestor of Arabic and vice versa).
It's a sign of recency of writing adoption (showing the language hasn't changed much since the alphabet was adopted so it probably hasn't been a long time since)
@@marcusaurelius4941 on the contrary. The language changed a lot and it exists for over 700 years. However the language was reformed couple of houndred years ago, and has changed slightly in the last 100+ years to the language we have today. But from the start until today it has changed a lot, both the alphabet and the written as has the spoken language
Can we get a greek person to confirm this π/τ stuff? Just because it's used in math doesn't mean it's how it's written in actual greek handwriting. Heck, ∂ is used in math a lot and it isn't even a real letter in any alphabet as far as I'm aware. And before you get back at me saying "that's how it shows up in most fonts", since when have you actually written "a" as it is in this font?
I am Greek. Many of the letters he wrote, mostly the minuscules are written wrong. I write «τ» like this («τ») only, usually, when I am writing or taking notes, I will do it faster so it comes out differently, a bit messier or more cursive. His minuscule «π» is too simple, we usually include a hook on the right leg (or right vertical line of «π»). Another thing I noticed is the «γ», nobody in Greece writes it like this. There is a space, or an opening below the “v” part of the letter so it is like this «ɣ». Also, the «δ», we tend to write the top hook (above the “o” part of the letter” a bit higher so that it looks like this «𝛿», but «δ» is also acceptable. (*Sigh*) Lastly, the «φ», almost always written «ϕ» (“almost” since there are multiple methods of calligraphy in Greek and it depends which you are using, if you are not using calligraphy you always write it «ϕ», not «φ»). Fun fact: we used to use many minuscule abbreviations, so we fused many letters into one to make a certain and specific sound. Not randomly though, they follow laws, it’s not known to many, but they sort of look like Arabic scripts. This link shows you a Wikipedia page on this, it’s pretty clear: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_minuscule
@@nanamacapagal8342 I personally agree with the comment below, everyone tends to write a little bit differently, personally I write "φ" as it's shown here and also yes I think "π" and "τ" are also how most people write them. But I have never seen anything like "γ" in my life. I also write it like the comment under you wrote it. Although it comes to how someone wants to write it, some letters in this video, atleast for the Greek alphabet, are kinda wrong.
@@nanamacapagal8342 another Greek here. Usually, we do it like π, though many don't put that funny leg at the end. But even if we don't do it like this it's still *technically* readable and correct, just not how it's officially supposed to be written. Also the t usually has a funny leg, but it's still correct without it.
I would also mention Д and Л are written strangely, in the block letters handwriting we do not write them like that, we write them more like Greek ones
@@snailenjoyer7338 as far as I understood the video, he wasn't giving a lecture on the Cyrillic or Greek alphabet, but rather showed the connection between languages, the movement of how they evolved
That is correct he was doing that but what im trying to say is that people who use Cyrillic like me will be able to point out mistake easier since when you use that writing all your life you will be informed about the history of it way better
@@tormclean9657 that, of course, may be possible, depending upon the kind of information and the tone of the "voice" The thing is, that nobody can look into someone else's head, so you cannot know how someone perceives, what you say, even if you have good intentions, so from the beginning we can be a bit sensitive about how to formulate the information, we want to give. That's all I would like to say
You got a mistake there. Greek had an actual letter for the q and it was called koppa. Though it died rather quickly, it had been used still during the Imperial Period on coins in Corinthos.
I don't know if this is a mistake or intended - maybe the videomaker wanted to write only letters which still exist. BTW, the same goes for the Greek "F" equivalent which was called "wau" or "digamma". That one gave rise to Latin "F" but the Greeks deleted it later. So this letter would belong into the same box as the Greek "Y".
Wow that's a weird coincidence x) i just watched a few days ago a documentary about it seems like it all came from the egyptian hieroglyphs (for example the A is a bull, the R is a human head the B comes from a house etc.) and the canaanites (later pheonicians) used the egyptian hieroglyphs for their own language and invented the concept of the alphabet (a character = one sound) and every if not most alphabets that are used nowadays come from it! even hebrew or arabic even though it doesnt look like it! thats really cool i think^^ btw love seeing you write! its soo satisfying^^
I saw a documentary too(not recently) very similar to what you're describing. Basically the alphabets get simpler and more suitable for specific languages as they evolve!
Besides Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin alphabets there are also Hangul (used in Korean language), Armenian and Georgian. I'm not sure about Armenian and Georgian but it's most unlikely that Hangul has anything in common with Egyptian / Phoenician writing systems.
@@nikkiobernik8296 Hangul is an invented alphabet without any direct relation to any writing systems around the world, although it can be said that it's inspired by Chinese writing from the shape of some certain characters and from the practice of arranging these characters in syllabic blocks. The characters show how consonants and vowels are being articulated in the mouth, and that's one of the reasons why it's mentioned as one of the easiest scripts to learn. Also worthy of mention is the Japanese Kana, in which there are two types: cursive Hiragana (used in general writing besides Kanji) and angular Katakana (used to write loanwords, emphasis, onomatopes, etc.) Japanese Kana are derived from Chinese characters being used phonetically for the Japanese language, whith Hiragana originating from cursive writing and Katakana from the pieces of such characters. That's the reason why people say you'll learn Japanese Kana quicker if you are Chinese or at least know any Chinese language.
@@nikkiobernik8296 pretty sure armenian and georgian also comes from hieroglyph since its in europe as for hangul, thats precisely one of the languages that uses an alphabet nowadays and that isnt linked to egyptian hieroglyphs as it comes from chinese characters! (the chinese people invented their own writing system like the mesopotamians and the american indians, but it's the only writing system that didnt change much after its creation and is still used nowadays) its the same for japanese btw they've got two alphabets and the two of them come from chinese characters! not even a bit from egyptian hieroglyph🤷♂️
Ive read that it goes back to pictograms. For example, the letter A would be upside down like the horns of an ox. Meaning leader. B would be the shape of a house and so on...
Fun fact: Phoenician alphabet also gave rise to Arabic and Hebrew script; Indian scripts (like Hindi, Tamil, Bengali); vertical Mongolian script; Tibetan script; Southeast Asia scripts like Thai, Cambodian; even Viking runes. Almost every writing system in the world comes from Phoenician except Chinese characters.
No, not Indian Scripts for sure. Vedic Sanskrit and Proto Dravidian are the two most important mother languages in India. Vedic Sanskrit led to many languages like Bengali, Hindi etc, while Proto Dravidian created south indian languages like Tamil. Sanskrit was derived from the Indo-European script. Phoenician has a much bigger influence on Arabic languages.
@@manishasinha1394 i think you are confusing languages with scripts. Scripts have a different root than languages. Proto indo european did not have a script anyway
@@manishasinha1394 Yes, that's true when it comes to languages, Sanskrit led to Northern Indian languages and Proto-Dravidian to Southern Indian languages. However, the scripts they use all trace back to the Brahmi script, used during the Mauryan period for all major languages in India including Sanskrit, Pali, and Tamil. Brahmi comes from ancient Arabian scripts related to Phoenician that are no longer used today.
Also Cyrillic alphabet has a different sequence of some letters in comparison with Latin. For example, it's a little bit deception when you write Latin letter "C, c" in one line with Cyrillic "Г, г" because our letter "Г" sounds like latin "G". Btw, Latin "C" can be concidered as analogue of Cyrillic "Ц, ц". So yep, they has equal sequence. But it's different letters.
What's strange is /g/ is written as "Ґґ" in Ukrainian, & "Гг" is the /h/ sound which doesn't exist in most languages that use Cyrillic. "Цц" isn't a "c" sound. it's/ts/.
Вообще то до кириллицы у славян и русичей была своя собственная, а не заимствованная у греков письменность: называлась "глаголица". Все старые тексты - на глаголице.

That the Greek Alphabet cannot be copied from somewhere else is shown by the fact that in the years 2300 BC. (with studies by Tziropoulou and others and not 800 BC) Homer already has at his disposal 6,500,000 primary words (first person present & singular) which if we multiply them by X72 which are the calls, we will get a a huge number which is not the final one, because let's not forget that the Greek language is not sterile, GENNA."birth".
Phoenician alphabet had no vocals!!! Phoenician Aleph (a consonant) 𐤀 a figure for --> ox ,head ox. Greek Αλφα Alpha (a vocal) Α from verb Αλφάνω, alphano , mean --> to find. Greeks took the idea of LETTER ,they abandoned their syllabic system and adding vocals created the Alphabet. Phoenician alphabet derive from the Old Canaanite script which derive from Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Eguptians took hieroglyphics from the Greeks. Read historian Manethon. Also, Greeks travelled to Egypt with their ships/ vessels. The Egyptians could only flow in Nile.
Cadmus was of ultimately divine ancestry, the grandson of the sea god Poseidon and Libya on his father's side, and of Nilus (the River Nile) on his mother's side; overall he was considered a member of the fifth generation of beings following the (mythological) creation of the world. After his sister Europa had been carried off by Zeus from the shores of Phoenicia, Cadmus was sent out by his father to find her, and enjoined not to return without her. Unsuccessful in his search-or unwilling to go against Zeus-he came to Samothrace, the island sacred to the "Great Gods"or the Kabeiroi, whose mysteries would be celebrated also at Thebes. Cadmus came in the course of his wanderings to Delphi, where he consulted the oracle. He was ordered to give up his quest and follow a special cow, with a half moon on her flank, which would meet him, and to build a town on the spot where she should lie down exhausted. The cow was given to Cadmus by Pelagon, King of Phocis, and it guided him to Boeotia, where he founded the city of Thebes. Intending to sacrifice the cow to Athena, Cadmus sent some of his companions, Deioleon and Seriphus to the nearby Ismenian spring for water. They were slain by the spring's guardian water-dragon (compare the Lernaean Hydra), which was in turn destroyed by Cadmus, the duty of a culture hero of the new order. The dragon had been sacred to Ares, so the god made Cadmus do penance for eight years by serving him. According to Theban tellings, it was at the expiration of this period that the gods gave him Harmonia ("harmony", literally "putting or assembling together", "good assembly", or "good composition") as wife. At Thebes, Cadmus and Harmonia began a dynasty with a son Polydorus, and four daughters, Agave, Autonoë, Ino and Semele.
A. P. Wow! That's brilliant. I had only known how Cadmus was sent to look for his sister, Europa, after Zeus lured her away to Mt. Olympus. It's wonderful to have the continuation of the story. Thank you. I've always been curious as to why the European continent was named after a Phoenician princess and not one indigenous to that area!
That's cool but imo it's more impressive how he keeps drawing the letters with straight lines from 4 different alphabets and without making them look bad, almost if it was printed out of a computer
Getting high, headphones on. Listening to penstrikes hitting the paper and leaving the paper. Me eyes may be half shut but i can see those beautiful lines.
Great writting skills,and very smooth written technique. There is a bit of misunderstanding though in your title. Greek alphabet was not made out of the Phoenicean. There was the proto-Greek alphabet from 'Pelasgean- Pelasgoi', who already had some written symbols-letters, and adopted some signs from Phoeniceans and changed them a lot so can be figured in the Greek Alhpabet. There is a basic meaning on that, as long as, that phoenicean language-alphabet is not long out there and Greek are. Thank you for your video.
Proud to be aramean. Arameans are basically the ones who made the this phonician alphabet famous in ancient middle east. this alphabet is also called old aramaic alphabet. Arameans and Phonicians are basically the same
From this, we see how writing filtered throughout the civilized world. The Sumerians started writing with pictures indicating words (Cuneiform). The Egyptians took it up a notch with pictures indicating letter sounds. Hebrew developed it into symbols that resemble pictures but that stand for sounds. The Phonecian is nearly identical to Hebrew, likely derived from it or alongside it,as recently Hebrew inscriptions have been found that are older than any Phoencian ones. The Phonecians traded all along the Mediterranean and brought it to Greece, where the letter sounds were just symbols, as the letters names that they borrowed don't correspond to what the objects they were named for sound like in Greek. Hebrew=Aleph (ox), Bet (house), Gimmel (camel), Daled (door). Phoencian is almost identical with only slight pronunciation differences. Greek = Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta. Then, it became the Cyrillic and Roman Alphabets. You end up with the corresponding letters in English becoming A, B, G, and D. For those familiar with the Bible, all this follows the narrative, as Abraham (ancestor of the Hebrews and Arabs) was from the Sumerian civilization. The very name Hebrew is derived from the Caananite word meaning stranger, as they had migrated from the Sumerians to live among the Canaanites.Then they migrated to Egypt and were enslaved for a while, which is why Hebrew pronunciation sounds more like Akkadian (from the Sumerian region) but is written more closely to hieroglyphics. The Philistines of the Bible are identified my most historians as being Phoencians.
That's not even the end of the story, though. The Aramaean square script developed from the Phoenician script, which was adopted by the Jews (this name was created during that time as well, being sourced from the territory of Judah that we were exiled from) during the exile of Babylon. It is still in use today for Hebrew, Aramaic and Yiddish. Over time, it also developed into a cursive form, which is what most Israelis use in day to day life due to it being quicker and simpler to write.
Y los filisteos eran un pueblo, y los cananeos (fenicios) eran otro pueblo que se mezcló con la cultura hebrea, allí hubo una aculturación o algo así pues, como lo detalla el libro de Reyes y crónicas, el matrimonio entre el israelita Achab con la princesa fenicia Jezabel.
It's well known that Phoenician alfabet has only consonants. The vowels was added by the Greeks. That's why we don't know the pronunciation of this language.
This fulfills my desire to learn Latin. Idc if it's uncommon to hear these days. As a writer I think Latin is neat! ASL looks very fun too. I taught myself some but forgot it over the years
The Latin script is the name of the script whose modern standard form uses these letters: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z. It has nothing to do with learning Latin unless I’m missing something?
The reason why many letters are opposite in Greek alphabet than the Phoenician, it's because Phoenicians were writing leftward but the Greeks rightward,thus E,K,A and others are mirrored in the other alphabet.
I love how you can see that the earliest alphabet was designed around sticking a tiny wedge into a slab of clay. It's almost entirely made up of configurations of these identical straight lines. Edit: nevermind. My bad :[]
Wrong, that's cuneiform, and it doesn't have an alphabet, because each symbol represents a syllable, not a letter. The title of this video also is false as proven by the Linear B tablet of 1550 b.c. (circa) Greece: the Greeks learned from the FATHERS of the Phoenicians, and their alphabet, called Canaanite. The Phoenicians didn't even yet EXIST in 1550 when the Greeks began copying the alphabets of the Western Semites. Of course, then the rest of Europe, including Russia, copied/derived from the Greek alphabet.
@@awaw3454 That awkward moment when you confuse Phoenician with Sumerian ='D It was a bad brain fart, but in my defense, the letters do look how I expected cuneiform to look: lots and lots of identical lines. Also, I never knew that that cuneiform symbols represent syllables -- that's so cool!
@@eyesofthecervino3366 Egyptian hieroglyphs can also be broken down to syllables, but not the sounds of individual letters. So you may have "bab," "bac," "bad," "bae," "baf," "bag," and etc, if i create a fictional language that covers every possible consonant-vowel-consonant starting with "b-a-" and based on the order of the letters in the Latinate (Engl/FR/ES) script. So you can see how even if we don't go with the Chinese-Korean-JP hieroglyphic-group (these take a HUGE time and memory to learn since every symbol is unique to the full word... eg. Usually a pictograph invoking real-world observations (eg. "discord" is a drawing of "two women under same roof" in Chinese hahaha), but even though they make each Egyptian or Cuneiform symbol broken-down to the syllabic level of understanding, you still need to remember a fairly large library of symbols because baa, bab, bac,bad, bae, baf, bag, bah, bai, baj, bak... That's still not even HALFWAY through the "ba_" party of what you'd need to memorize. 😭 Much easier to memorize 24 to 30 letters.

@@odin6369 no it doesn't. The Φ-like Phoenician letter is actually called Qoppa and it initially existed in Greek too but was soon discarded. Φ is a Greek addition, as are the 6 final letters.
@@georgios_5342 Its not comfirmed but imo pretty likely that Qoppa and Phi share the same origin due to their similar apperance and sound.

In ancient Greece there were a few variations of the Greek alphabet, which were used by different city states. These variations varied in certain letters. The Greek alphabet you are using is actually the Attican alphabet. The alphabet that was used in the city state of Athens. Later, in the Roman era, this alphabet will become the standard for the Greek language and it will dominate over all other variations.
Another version of the Greek alphabet, was the chalkidean. An alphabet used in the city state of Chalkida and its colonies. In the chalkidean alphabet, the letter Λ was written as L. Chalkida had colonies in Northern Italy. There, they came in touch with the etruscan culture (around 1000-900 BC). Etruscans adopted the chalkidean Greek alphabet as the writing system for their language. Later, the Romans will take the etruscan alphabet and adapt it to their own language. That's why, the Latin alphabet has so many common letters with the Greek alphabet. Actually, all it's letters are Greek, if we consider the fact that it does not derive from the attican alphabet, but from the chalkidean.
Finally, the Greek alphabet had a few more letters that over the years were discontinued. This occurred before the classical era (1000-600 BC), and this is why we don't hear much about these letters.
Some of these letters, since they didn't represent sounds any more, were used to represent numbers. For example, the number 6 in ancient greek was represented by such a discontinued letter.
Others, were transformed and survived with other meanings. For example, there was a letter call digamma (two gamma), which was written with the symbol F. It sounded like the sound of two long gammas. I guess it was something like W (double u). As you can understand through the chalkidean alphabet, it entered the Latin and its sound was transformed to what we know today.
You missed one thing - now Greeks use the Ionian version, not the old Attic one. Athenians simply adopted it somewhen at the end of 5 century BCE if I am not mistaken, and then with the use of primarily Athenian-(Ionian-)Based koine it spreaded throughout the Greek world.
@@mareksagrak9527 the Athenians belonged to the Ionian tribe/clan. The athenian Greek was a sub dialect of the ionian dialect of the Greek language.
Koine Greek (or simplified greek), was a dialect that was developed after the 3rd century BC and it was based on the athenian dialect.

With a different phonology, the Greeks adapted the Phoenician script to represent their own sounds, including the vowels absent in Phoenician. It was possibly more important in Greek to write out vowel sounds: Phoenician being a Semitic language, words were based on consonantal roots that permitted extensive removal of vowels without loss of meaning, a feature absent in the Indo-European Greek. However, Akkadian cuneiform, which wrote a related Semitic language, did indicate vowels, which suggests the Phoenicians simply accepted the model of the Egyptians, who never wrote vowels. In any case, the Greeks repurposed the Phoenician letters of consonant sounds not present in Greek; each such letter had its name shorn of its leading consonant, and the letter took the value of the now-leading vowel.
The Phoenicians are from the ancient Arabs, so it is said that Arabic is one of the oldest languages
@@user-fm7nq7ul2c No, Arabic derives from Old Semitic and it's definitely not the oldest language.

What type of pen are you using for every single stroke to look exactly the same like that?
As russian i can see wrong writing of miniscule б, and м. And i know that greek miniscule π and τ was written wrong cuz i use them in math regularly.
Can we get a greek person to confirm this π/τ stuff? Just because it's used in math doesn't mean it's how it's written in actual greek handwriting. Heck, ∂ is used in math a lot and it isn't even a real letter in any alphabet as far as I'm aware.
And before you get back at me saying "that's how it shows up in most fonts", since when have you actually written "a" as it is in this font?
I am Greek. Many of the letters he wrote, mostly the minuscules are written wrong. I write «τ» like this («τ») only, usually, when I am writing or taking notes, I will do it faster so it comes out differently, a bit messier or more cursive. His minuscule «π» is too simple, we usually include a hook on the right leg (or right vertical line of «π»).
Another thing I noticed is the «γ», nobody in Greece writes it like this. There is a space, or an opening below the “v” part of the letter so it is like this «ɣ». Also, the «δ», we tend to write the top hook (above the “o” part of the letter” a bit higher so that it looks like this «𝛿», but «δ» is also acceptable. (*Sigh*) Lastly, the «φ», almost always written «ϕ» (“almost” since there are multiple methods of calligraphy in Greek and it depends which you are using, if you are not using calligraphy you always write it
«ϕ», not «φ»).
Fun fact: we used to use many minuscule abbreviations, so we fused many letters into one to make a certain and specific sound. Not randomly though, they follow laws, it’s not known to many, but they sort of look like Arabic scripts. This link shows you a Wikipedia page on this, it’s pretty clear:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_minuscule
@@nanamacapagal8342 I personally agree with the comment below, everyone tends to write a little bit differently, personally I write "φ" as it's shown here and also yes I think "π" and "τ" are also how most people write them. But I have never seen anything like "γ" in my life. I also write it like the comment under you wrote it. Although it comes to how someone wants to write it, some letters in this video, atleast for the Greek alphabet, are kinda wrong.
@@nanamacapagal8342 another Greek here. Usually, we do it like π, though many don't put that funny leg at the end. But even if we don't do it like this it's still *technically* readable and correct, just not how it's officially supposed to be written.
Also the t usually has a funny leg, but it's still correct without it.
I would also mention Д and Л are written strangely, in the block letters handwriting we do not write them like that, we write them more like Greek ones
Really amazing work and Realisation!

That is correct he was doing that but what im trying to say is that people who use Cyrillic like me will be able to point out mistake easier since when you use that writing all your life you will be informed about the history of it way better
@@tormclean9657 that, of course, may be possible, depending upon the kind of information and the tone of the "voice"
The thing is, that nobody can look into someone else's head, so you cannot know how someone perceives, what you say, even if you have good intentions, so from the beginning we can be a bit sensitive about how to formulate the information, we want to give. That's all I would like to say

You got a mistake there. Greek had an actual letter for the q and it was called koppa. Though it died rather quickly, it had been used still during the Imperial Period on coins in Corinthos.
I don't know if this is a mistake or intended - maybe the videomaker wanted to write only letters which still exist.
BTW, the same goes for the Greek "F" equivalent which was called "wau" or "digamma". That one gave rise to Latin "F" but the Greeks deleted it later. So this letter would belong into the same box as the Greek "Y".
Wow that's a weird coincidence x)
i just watched a few days ago a documentary about it
seems like it all came from the egyptian hieroglyphs (for example the A is a bull, the R is a human head the B comes from a house etc.) and the canaanites (later pheonicians) used the egyptian hieroglyphs for their own language and invented the concept of the alphabet (a character = one sound) and every if not most alphabets that are used nowadays come from it! even hebrew or arabic even though it doesnt look like it!
thats really cool i think^^
btw love seeing you write! its soo satisfying^^
I saw a documentary too(not recently) very similar to what you're describing. Basically the alphabets get simpler and more suitable for specific languages as they evolve!
Besides Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin alphabets there are also Hangul (used in Korean language), Armenian and Georgian. I'm not sure about Armenian and Georgian but it's most unlikely that Hangul has anything in common with Egyptian / Phoenician writing systems.
@@nikkiobernik8296 Hangul is an invented alphabet without any direct relation to any writing systems around the world, although it can be said that it's inspired by Chinese writing from the shape of some certain characters and from the practice of arranging these characters in syllabic blocks. The characters show how consonants and vowels are being articulated in the mouth, and that's one of the reasons why it's mentioned as one of the easiest scripts to learn.
Also worthy of mention is the Japanese Kana, in which there are two types: cursive Hiragana (used in general writing besides Kanji) and angular Katakana (used to write loanwords, emphasis, onomatopes, etc.) Japanese Kana are derived from Chinese characters being used phonetically for the Japanese language, whith Hiragana originating from cursive writing and Katakana from the pieces of such characters. That's the reason why people say you'll learn Japanese Kana quicker if you are Chinese or at least know any Chinese language.
Also Amharic alphabet comes from the Phoenician alphabet
@@nikkiobernik8296 pretty sure armenian and georgian also comes from hieroglyph since its in europe
as for hangul, thats precisely one of the languages that uses an alphabet nowadays and that isnt linked to egyptian hieroglyphs as it comes from chinese characters! (the chinese people invented their own writing system like the mesopotamians and the american indians, but it's the only writing system that didnt change much after its creation and is still used nowadays)
its the same for japanese btw
they've got two alphabets and the two of them come from chinese characters! not even a bit from egyptian hieroglyph🤷♂️

No, not Indian Scripts for sure. Vedic Sanskrit and Proto Dravidian are the two most important mother languages in India. Vedic Sanskrit led to many languages like Bengali, Hindi etc, while Proto Dravidian created south indian languages like Tamil. Sanskrit was derived from the Indo-European script. Phoenician has a much bigger influence on Arabic languages.
@@manishasinha1394 i think you are confusing languages with scripts. Scripts have a different root than languages. Proto indo european did not have a script anyway

Also Cyrillic alphabet has a different sequence of some letters in comparison with Latin.
For example, it's a little bit deception when you write Latin letter "C, c" in one line with Cyrillic "Г, г" because our letter "Г" sounds like latin "G".
Btw, Latin "C" can be concidered as analogue of Cyrillic "Ц, ц".
So yep, they has equal sequence. But it's different letters.

That the Greek Alphabet cannot be copied from somewhere else is shown by the fact that in the years 2300 BC.

Cadmus was of ultimately divine ancestry, the grandson of the sea god Poseidon and Libya on his father's side, and of Nilus (the River Nile) on his mother's side; overall he was considered a member of the fifth generation of beings following the (mythological) creation of the world.
After his sister Europa had been carried off by Zeus from the shores of Phoenicia, Cadmus was sent out by his father to find her, and enjoined not to return without her. Unsuccessful in his search-or unwilling to go against Zeus-he came to Samothrace, the island sacred to the "Great Gods"or the Kabeiroi, whose mysteries would be celebrated also at Thebes.
Cadmus came in the course of his wanderings to Delphi, where he consulted the oracle. He was ordered to give up his quest and follow a special cow, with a half moon on her flank, which would meet him, and to build a town on the spot where she should lie down exhausted.
The cow was given to Cadmus by Pelagon, King of Phocis, and it guided him to Boeotia, where he founded the city of Thebes.
Intending to sacrifice the cow to Athena, Cadmus sent some of his companions, Deioleon and Seriphus to the nearby Ismenian spring for water. They were slain by the spring's guardian water-dragon (compare the Lernaean Hydra), which was in turn destroyed by Cadmus, the duty of a culture hero of the new order.
The dragon had been sacred to Ares, so the god made Cadmus do penance for eight years by serving him. According to Theban tellings, it was at the expiration of this period that the gods gave him Harmonia ("harmony", literally "putting or assembling together", "good assembly", or "good composition") as wife. At Thebes, Cadmus and Harmonia began a dynasty with a son Polydorus, and four daughters, Agave, Autonoë, Ino and Semele.
A. P. Wow! That's brilliant. I had only known how Cadmus was sent to look for his sister, Europa, after Zeus lured her away to Mt. Olympus. It's wonderful to have the continuation of the story. Thank you. I've always been curious as to why the European continent was named after a Phoenician princess and not one indigenous to that area!
What pen do you use?
what pen did u use
Cyrylic should have: М, м, not m!
Маленькие (прописные) буквы у кирилицы написаны не правильно.
Vlog is great, tnx.
That's cool but imo it's more impressive how he keeps drawing the letters with straight lines from 4 different alphabets and without making them look bad, almost if it was printed out of a computer
たっくん、日本人とロシア人から指摘があるようにヴェーとエムの小文字はвとмです。ギリシャ文字のパイの小文字はπだし、語末のς も書いてほしかった。
キリル文字はギリシャ文字とラテン文字、そして算用数字の混血なんです。べーの小文字とゼーがそうです。
キリル文字はグラゴール文字の影響も受けてなかった？
@@Kaoru_MaiAmeTsuchi9683 元はグラゴール文字から生まれたらしいですが、画数が多すぎて改良、簡素化されたようですね。グラゴールとキリル、ほとんど似てません。ブルガリアのギリシャ文字が強かったか。
It's only 10 days, and this video aged like milk.
Getting high, headphones on. Listening to penstrikes hitting the paper and leaving the paper. Me eyes may be half shut but i can see those beautiful lines.
Thanks, please make another video with pronunciation.
I'm Indian ( Hindi ) and don't know about these languages. , But it's interesting to know ,as I love to learn different languages ....thank you 😊
The Phoenicians are from the ancient Arabs, so it is said that Arabic is one of the oldest languages
You writing a Latin character. English is a mix and native Britain's and Roman language
@@user-fm7nq7ul2c Phonecians aren't Arabs. They're semites, like Arabs, but they're not Arabs.
@@thiagobatistadealmeida6131 Manly just a mix of native Germanic and French
@@user-fm7nq7ul2c nope, phoenician and arabic are related as semitic languages but one doesn't come from the other.
Great writting skills,and very smooth written technique.
There is a bit of misunderstanding though in your title.
Greek alphabet was not made out of the Phoenicean.
There was the proto-Greek alphabet from 'Pelasgean- Pelasgoi', who already had some written symbols-letters, and adopted some signs from Phoeniceans and changed them a lot so can be figured in the Greek Alhpabet.
There is a basic meaning on that, as long as, that phoenicean language-alphabet is not long out there and Greek are.
Thank you for your video.
the Greek alphabet is very similar from Phoenician, how can you say it's not made out of it?
I appreciate that "o" never changed its line.
Excellent
Great initiative 👏
Proud to be aramean. Arameans are basically the ones who made the this phonician alphabet famous in ancient middle east. this alphabet is also called old aramaic alphabet.
Arameans and Phonicians are basically the same
Yea basically they are the direct descendants of the Phoenicians.
@@EAlyahya Lebanese are
@@glockymenor6760 lebanese don't have anything to do with phonicians, cuz they are arabs. They only live now where the phonicians once lived
From this, we see how writing filtered throughout the civilized world. The Sumerians started writing with pictures indicating words (Cuneiform). The Egyptians took it up a notch with pictures indicating letter sounds. Hebrew developed it into symbols that resemble pictures but that stand for sounds. The Phonecian is nearly identical to Hebrew, likely derived from it or alongside it,as recently Hebrew inscriptions have been found that are older than any Phoencian ones. The Phonecians traded all along the Mediterranean and brought it to Greece, where the letter sounds were just symbols, as the letters names that they borrowed don't correspond to what the objects they were named for sound like in Greek. Hebrew=Aleph (ox), Bet (house), Gimmel (camel), Daled (door). Phoencian is almost identical with only slight pronunciation differences. Greek = Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta. Then, it became the Cyrillic and Roman Alphabets. You end up with the corresponding letters in English becoming A, B, G, and D. For those familiar with the Bible, all this follows the narrative, as Abraham (ancestor of the Hebrews and Arabs) was from the Sumerian civilization. The very name Hebrew is derived from the Caananite word meaning stranger, as they had migrated from the Sumerians to live among the Canaanites.Then they migrated to Egypt and were enslaved for a while, which is why Hebrew pronunciation sounds more like Akkadian (from the Sumerian region) but is written more closely to hieroglyphics. The Philistines of the Bible are identified my most historians as being Phoencians.
Your knowledge is amazing. Did you studied
Ancient languages? I am interesting into Chaldean Cuineform 😃
Philistines moved from Minoan Crete to east Meditteranean. Stop spreading Herodotus lies..
That's not even the end of the story, though. The Aramaean square script developed from the Phoenician script, which was adopted by the Jews (this name was created during that time as well, being sourced from the territory of Judah that we were exiled from) during the exile of Babylon. It is still in use today for Hebrew, Aramaic and Yiddish. Over time, it also developed into a cursive form, which is what most Israelis use in day to day life due to it being quicker and simpler to write.
Te equivocas, abram significa padre enaltecido, y Abraham significa padre de múltitudes,
Y los filisteos eran un pueblo, y los cananeos (fenicios) eran otro pueblo que se mezcló con la cultura hebrea, allí hubo una aculturación o algo así pues, como lo detalla el libro de Reyes y crónicas, el matrimonio entre el israelita Achab con la princesa fenicia Jezabel.
We're (or were) all connected. 👌🏻 Never thought about that, thank you!
Me gustó mucho.
Gracias
amazing video. Loved it!
I just want to know what pen is being used. It's so good.
How is your hand writing so smooth how?
It's well known that Phoenician alfabet has only consonants. The vowels was added by the Greeks. That's why we don't know the pronunciation of this language.
I love it. Now do Etruscan runes and Elder Futhark. :Do
This fulfills my desire to learn Latin. Idc if it's uncommon to hear these days. As a writer I think Latin is neat! ASL looks very fun too. I taught myself some but forgot it over the years
The Latin script is the name of the script whose modern standard form uses these letters: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z. It has nothing to do with learning Latin unless I’m missing something?
@@Lucaazade he was wrong yes
At least they all agreed at "Ooooooooo"
Where can I find a chart like this?
The reason why many letters are opposite in Greek alphabet than the Phoenician, it's because Phoenicians were writing leftward but the Greeks rightward,thus E,K,A and others are mirrored in the other alphabet.
I'm greek and i didn't know this. That's why i love the internet , thank you
Así es.
Thanks a lot, I did notice russian sounds very similar to spanish, which makes sense now that you show how latin relates to cyrillic
How does Russian sound similar to spanish
@@juli6205 idk but we have some same words i am Serbian and can mostly understand Italian and some words in Spanish are really relatible to ours
Hallo from Spain. Congratulations for the video. But also comparing the arabic. Thanks
If I were dyslexic this would be a roller coaster ride!
Can I request sir? In next video, "BAYBAYIN" alphabet
Po, native in Philippines,🇵🇭 thanks
Phillipines: a greek word Philos+ippos= the friend of horses
I love how you can see that the earliest alphabet was designed around sticking a tiny wedge into a slab of clay. It's almost entirely made up of configurations of these identical straight lines.
Edit: nevermind. My bad :[]
Wrong, that's cuneiform, and it doesn't have an alphabet, because each symbol represents a syllable, not a letter. The title of this video also is false as proven by the Linear B tablet of 1550 b.c. (circa) Greece: the Greeks learned from the FATHERS of the Phoenicians, and their alphabet, called Canaanite. The Phoenicians didn't even yet EXIST in 1550 when the Greeks began copying the alphabets of the Western Semites. Of course, then the rest of Europe, including Russia, copied/derived from the Greek alphabet.
@@awaw3454
That awkward moment when you confuse Phoenician with Sumerian ='D
It was a bad brain fart, but in my defense, the letters do look how I expected cuneiform to look: lots and lots of identical lines.
Also, I never knew that that cuneiform symbols represent syllables -- that's so cool!
@@awaw3454 ☝️🤓
@@eyesofthecervino3366 Egyptian hieroglyphs can also be broken down to syllables, but not the sounds of individual letters. So you may have "bab," "bac," "bad," "bae," "baf," "bag," and etc, if i create a fictional language that covers every possible consonant-vowel-consonant starting with "b-a-" and based on the order of the letters in the Latinate (Engl/FR/ES) script. So you can see how even if we don't go with the Chinese-Korean-JP hieroglyphic-group (these take a HUGE time and memory to learn since every symbol is unique to the full word... eg. Usually a pictograph invoking real-world observations (eg. "discord" is a drawing of "two women under same roof" in Chinese hahaha), but even though they make each Egyptian or Cuneiform symbol broken-down to the syllabic level of understanding, you still need to remember a fairly large library of symbols because baa, bab, bac,bad, bae, baf, bag, bah, bai, baj, bak... That's still not even HALFWAY through the "ba_" party of what you'd need to memorize. 😭 Much easier to memorize 24 to 30 letters. Tell your friends, tell the judge when you get a traffic ticket, I'm sure everyone will thank you for opening their eyes to my completely useless-to-modern-world babbling hahahaha.
I don't even care about ancient alphabets, I am just mesmerized by that beautiful handwriting.
Anyone else watching just because the handwriting is impeccable?
Хотів би додати що в українській мові ще є буква "Ґ" вимовляється як російська "Г" також немає букв степових народів (Монголії,Казахстан,Киргизстан,Таджикистана та інші) наприклад:Y.
Мне кажется, что украинскую Ґ можно воспринимать как разновидность Г и не более, а так ваши буквы все показал. Ещё бы кроме степных языков добавил бы одну сербскую букву, и было бы вообще замечательно
O be like: O🤝O
