The Olmec people were some of the first in the Americas to develop a true writing system. The symbols are called "glyphs", not hieroglyphics.
The language has not yet been definitively identified and work on decipherment is consequently ongoing. It is likely that it is syllabic, like Maya script, where each glyph stands for a consonant-vowel or consonant-vowel-consonant group, as in baor bab.
