Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The native writing systems of Ancient Egypt used to record the Egyptian language include both the and Hieratic from Protodynastic times, the 13th century BC cursive variants of the hieroglyphs which became popular, then the latest Demotic script developed from Hieratic, from the 7th in hieroglyphs. Most surviving texts in the Egyptian language are primarily written in the hieroglyphic script. However, in antiquity, the majority of texts were written on perishable papyrus in hieratic and (later) demotic, which are now lost. There was also a form of cursive hieroglyphic script used for religious documents on papyrus, such as the multi-authored Books of the Dead in the Ramesside Period; this script was closer to the stone-carved hieroglyphs, but was not as cursive as hieratic, lacking the wide use of ligatures. Additionally, there was a variety of stone-cuthieratic known as lapidary hieratic. In the language''s final stage of development, the Coptic alphabet replaced the older writing system.
