Mayas used pictures called hieroglyphics. They represent sounds, and with them any words in the Maya language could be written. Their writing system consisted of 800 symbols or Glyphs. From these, 700 represented whole words, they look like objects they represent, and 100 were syllable signs, used to spell out a word, syllable by syllable.
