How diffent are ideograms cueniforms and phonetic alphabets?
Ideograms are symbols that represent entire words or concepts, but don't give a clue as to how the word is pronounced. An example of an ideogram is & (which is pronounced AND in English and Y in Spanish, but has the same meaning in both languages).
Cuneiforms are highly stylized ideograms, using a tool that creates little, wedge-like strokes. Some cuneiforms (in the later history of languages that use them) are phonetic.
Phonetic alphabets only have symbols that represent sounds, not words.
