Egyptian hieroglyphs are pictographs that correspond the sound of the first syllable of the thing being depicted. Phoenician cuneiform writing uses abstract symbols to correspond with spoken sounds. The latter evolved into the Greek alphabet, then the Roman alphabet, and then into the modern Western alphabet.
