A writing system is a system for writing a language or group of languages, for example, the Latin or Cyrillic alphabets.
There are several Ancient Egyptian languages. Some which have no phonetic component (like hieroglyphics) and some which do (like Demotic). For the ones that do not, it is more about creating a cartouche with a particular design you like. For Demotic, just use the alphabet this question links to spell a word that sounds like Jennifer. The difference between a phonetic and non-phonetic writing system is as follows. In a phonetic writing system, I have the word 'four' which is composed of a 'f' sound followed by a 'o' sound and followed by an 'r' sound. I notice all of these elements in the word 'four' which is how I know how to pronounce this word (even if I did not really speak English. A non-phonetic writing system might be like '4'. There is no way that looking at that symbol that I would know how to pronounce it and in fact, its name changes depending on the language to vier (German), arba3 (Arabic), quattro (Italian), etc.
It was the first purely phonetic writing system in the history of humanity (as far as we know). It was an alphabet of only 22 letters, compared to the thousands of symbols required to read Egyptian or Sumerian.
Egypt used hieroglyphics, Mesopotamia used cuneiform
The Phoenicians developed their writing system from the Sumerian writing system in 1400 BCE, so their writing system came after the Sumerian one.
A phonetic writing system uses symbols to represent individual sounds (phonemes) in a language, while an alphabetic writing system uses symbols to represent individual speech sounds and their combinations (graphemes). Phonetic systems are more consistent in their representation of sounds, while alphabetic systems typically represent a mix of sounds and grammatical elements.
how did the Egyptian writing system compare with the mesopotamian system ?ANS:MESOPOTAMIANS:8000 TO 3200 BC MESOPOTAMIANS USED CLAY "TOKENS" AND SHAPES TO REPRESENT WORDS .THIS SYSTEM IS KNOWN TO BE LOGOGRAM.LATER THEY BEGAN TO USE PHONETIC WRITING( CUNEIFORM --- USED BY BABYLONIANS AND ASSYRIAMS).EGYPTIANS:EGYTPIANS USED HIEROGLYPHS. HIEROGLYPHS IS KNOWN TO BE ONE OF THE OLDEST WRITING SYSTEMS. THEY ALSO USED CURSIVE HIEROGLYPHS IPA PHONETIC WRITING SYSTEM IN PAPYRUS FOR GODLY REPRESENTATION.
It would be a writing system in which the pronunciation mirrors how the words are exactly spoken. This leaves no room for silent letters or letters that change pronunciation based on placement.
If you write pictographic, it's more easier to write what you want to say but if you write with the phonetic writing system, it's more easier to understand.
A writing system is a system for writing a language or group of languages, for example, the Latin or Cyrillic alphabets.
The Mayans developed a sophisticated writing system known as hieroglyphics, which included both logograms and phonetic elements. This system was used to record historical events, astronomical observations, and mythological stories.
The correct spelling is "phonetic." Phonetics refers to the study of the sounds of human speech.
Ordinary people call it alphabetic. Scholars also follow suit.

Phonetic writing?

It is called phonetic spelling. Phonetics is the study of the sounds of human speech, and phonetic spelling involves writing words as they are pronounced.
