  2. Hieroglyphs-history Hieroglyphs were used by the Ancient Egyptians for almost 3,600 years and it started In 3200 BC and finished In 400 AD, but hieroglyphs took a lot of time and effort to make and were very hard to learn. Only royalty, scribes, priests, and government officials could use hieroglyphics.

  3. Egyptian language Egyptian language has the longest history of all the languages of the world.This scripting was in pictorial form. They used various signs instead of letters and words and this is the most fascinating feature of their language.

  4. One more interesting fact about the symbols, is that a single symbol had more than three different meanings, which could either be phonetic or simply symbolizing the picture itself. They continued using it until around 500 AD and the language is still the most difficult language to learn. About language
