There were three scripts used in ancient Egypt which originated in Egypt.Hieroglyphs
When people think of Egyptian writing they think of hieroglyphs. These were pictures of gods animals and plants where each image represented a single idea

Hieratic script
They also has a written language used for everyday purposes like records keeping and writing letters. This was the Hieratic script was invented and developed more or less at the same time as hieroglyphs

Demotic script
The most popular script diverged from the Hieratic script about 660 BCE. The Demotic script was used for writing business, legal, scientific, literary and religious documents.It was also known as the popular script. It was used up to 425 CE.

Later all these scripts were replaced by the Greek-derived Coptic alphabet.
