Good news, everyone! The t-shirts I mentioned are now available at crowdmade.com/collections/khanubis Go give ‘em a look!

Shoutout to the Phoenicians for spitting their culture across the whole Mediterranean and Middle East

"Now the Phoenicians can get down to business"

Dude, the amount of love and effort you've put on this video is worthy of my most sincere respect. Thank you very much

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.

Origin of Brahmi from phonecian scrip is a disputed theory and many claim it to be originated from indus script.

There are some more scripts not mentioned in this video, but likely or definitely falling in this category: 1. Korean. 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.

The Eritrean/Ethiopian Ge'ez script doesn't descend from the phoenician script, but from the Old-South-Arabian, which derived from the Proto-Sinaitic, which was actually an ancestor from the proto-kanaanitic script, from which then the phoenician script has derived.

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.

Great video!

It's a common mistake that vowels matter less in Semitic languages. It's just the way things happened. The Canaanites already got used to write without vowels and Greeks weren't committed to that system. We are stuck to this day with a bad system in Hebrew because of this

Great video! Learned many new things from it.

Today the Philippines doesn't use the Baybayin script officially anymore, we use them only for merch purposes (cause they look good in shirts and signs 😁)

Brahmi of indian subcontinent is not derived from Phonecian/Aramaic. Possible influence, maybe. Brahmi is largely derived from Indus script which was simplified over the course of many centuries during the vedic period.

All Asian writing systems: "Understandable, have a great day."

Interesting,since i memorized Latin,Arabic,and Cyrillic Scripts and also little bit of Javanese script myself.

Great video.

India has 9 Indigenous scripts 1. Devanagari 2. Guru mukhi 3. Bengali - Assames 4. Gujarati 5. Odisa 6. Kannada 7. Telugu 8. Malayalam 9. Tamil Almost Similar scripts 1. Devangari, Guru mukhi, Gujarati 2. Bengali, Assames 3. Kannada, Telugu 4. Tamil, Malayalam 5. Odisa

Established titles is a scam

Fantastic as usual

The runic alphabet may not necessarily have come from Etruscan but from more northerly italic tribes like the Veneti and the Rhaetians.

I've been meaning to make an entire map that shows this but never got around to it :(

I really would love a t-shirt with multiple writing systems on it.

The local script present in the indian subcontinent was indus script therefore it is obvious that brahmi will descend from indus script. The Phoenician script was created much later than indus script and brahmi script

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.

Is there some sort of website with a list of all languages with examples of their letters. I’m trying to find translate a certain language but I don’t know what it is written in, but it looks related to Brahmi

Thank you for this video. But according to what I know, Vietnam didn't use alphabet after European empire but during french protectorate

Might want to do a bit more research into Established Titles. It is a scam.

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.

Nice

8:47 Baybayin is pronounced like buy-buy-in not bye-bye-yin

Why are you accepting a sponsorship from a scam?

ESTABLISHED TITLES IS A SCAM

0:38 Your use of purple has brought me joy.

have you done a vid on the nbisidi script ?

Do a t-shirt for Old Mongol Script! 😅

The t-shirts for Cyrillic have characters like е, у, х, щ, ы, ь, ъ wrong. е is ye. у is oo. х is h. щ is shch. ы is ui. ь makes the letter before softer. And ъ makes the letter before harder.

def those tshirts are the fastest way to look like a target while travelling🤣

Now the Phoenicians can get down to business 🎶

Cool

8:20 clank?

Why did you write "clank" at around 8:20 for a fraction of a second?

3:06 those are consonants 🥲

5:36 Totally not being proud since it happened in Bulgaria

should be: *"Lang lebe die große khanubische Republik", at 5:20

Glagolitic looks so fucking beautiful it makes me wish it was the standard alphabet.

I'm really glad that you mentioned my languages Telugu (తెలుగు) & Odia (ଓଡ଼ିଆ) ❤️ This is a fascinating thing to ponder over. Love to everyone!

You skipped the part where the Aramaic script becomes the square Hebrew script

0:07 the most cursed street and place to go.

1:11 Iowa 😳

All hail Lord KhAnubis of Scotland!

0:48 ESTABLISHED TITLES IS A SCAM!!!! DO NOT GO TO THIS WEBSITE!!!

I like that baybayin in the beginning

the Gay Street part got me

Cyrillic E is pronounced /je/. The one that looks like the Euro sign is pronounced /e/.

My noble Lord: I you come down on the same side of the cilantro issue as me.

Such good illustrations and editing, such confusing and superficial narration.

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).

Mesoamerican script is also independent that you didnt mention

Musnad script omitted. As expected the actual oldest alphabet, seeing how it literally started the whole thing and is what Protosemitic uses for reconstruction.

Mesrop Mashtots created the Armenian alphabet in Jerusalem. Amharic and Armenian were created around the same time before Greek even. If you look at Amharic and Armenian alphabets they are almost identical

Bengali is not a script. The name of the Script is "Eastern Nagari". It is used in Assamese and a few other languages as well.

id say we arabs say beet more than bet we elongate the e some time we say baet or beat depending on the context

My main languages ​​are Hindi and Bengali and I mostly like to combine English sentences with both languages

Do the geez langage and a matching shirt

6:44

India's most scripts are called " Varna ".

Why is everything established titles stop scamming

Some says Korean writing system is influenced by Tibetan script. Bob Lazar of AREA 51 said Alien writing inside UFO looks like Korean.

Most is pretty much in the name!

The Ancestor of Brahmi Script is Indus Script of Indus Valley Civilization not Aramaic Script. Brahmi coming from Aramaic was a Colonial Propoganda like Aryan Invasion Theory.

Shout-out to Africa for spreading it's writing systems!

Wow, sangat keren

Just reileiesed Egyptian word for house is spsy and the greek word is spiti

establsihed titles is a scam

Ooh I actually knew about this one lol! 😄 Thank you for the nicely in depth exploration of the topic. I would enjoy future episodes on the language families and their origins! God be with you out there, everybody. ✝️ :)

There are not much evidence on Indian Brahmi and Korean Hangeul script for now there are only hypothesis on their origins.

👍👍

It is true the Old Greek Script inspired the Old Georgian And Armenian Scripts But The New One Is Fresh And Different

East Asia stronk

_Thank the Phoenicians_ - *Spaceship Earth, Epcot* 😌😁

Ah yes just what i needed to watch while I eat pizza.

لبنان العظيم 🇱🇧🇹🇳🌷

“Devil’s Lettuce” = cilantro 😂

Baybayin is related to egyptian hieroglyphs, I just re re re learnt that now

What about Ethiopian letters?

Most of the world's alphabets, yeah, but over 20% of the people in the world use systems that are in no way related to your point. At least you admitted it and moved swiftly on. What even is the point, then.

as an Indonesian i wanna give a little correction. At 7:10 that script in Indonesia is not called "Balinese" but its called "Javanese"

Ik this is kinda pin pointing.....but why did you leave Malayalam out😭

Established Titles is a scam, do not buy

My man Established titles is a scam. Please do your research while you did for this video before promoting sponsors.

make a syriac aramaic shirt

the cyrillic shirt is innaccurate

At 7:00 you mentioned “China and by extension Korea and Japan.” I cant wait to hear what the Koreans and Japanese think about being called extensions of China.

shoutout to Gay St.

Why the Greek alphabet has the modern flag of Greece while the Latin alphabet doesn't have the modern flag of Italy?

Some South Indians claim that southern Brahmi (called Tamil Brahmi) came first cause its recorded as early as 500s BC while Northern Brahmi (Ashokan Brahmi) comes up 2 centuries later. The south did also trade with the Middle East during that time so there’s a possibility that Brahmi did arrive in India but by sea rather than by land

“In linguistics terms, a word” Linguistics, who can’t even determine what a word is: 😖

established titles is a confirmed scam fyi
