Invention of Writing Reflection #6

Writing was so virtually important and their main string of year ago. It was invented about three times in different places and in human history: Each place had their own invention and ways of communication through writing in Sumerian first; they used pictograms beginning with simple pictures to label basic farm produced food. In cities and urban areas of manufacturing goods they used tokens. Then eventually they used clay tablets. The impressions were used as a memory aids in recording economic data. Furthermore, homonymy began to have been used as abstract symbols that represented sound. Some English language can be used by this tactic but more complicated English cannot. In another area Egypt, they used hieroglyphs, or holy writing. This system was used as syllabic symbols or alphabetic symbols that represented single sounds. This system has been used by the priest to record events or royal and religious significance. This invention was complicated and no one has ever used them again besides themselves. Finally, the last place writing was so important to be china. They invented most of their writing independently. They had some connections with Sumerian writing and used pictographic signs as sound symbols. The sound was represented in the homonymous syllable way. Eventually when signs lost their requirements of resembling what it represented they became stylized. The meaning of a syllable as well as its sound was a way of syllable as well as its sound was a way of how the syllable was written. This is still in effect in modern Chinese today. To conclude, all of these systems of what ancient civilizations used writing for represented sound first and what they stood for secondly. These places used these different forms of writings as way of communicating with each others for events, and farming goods. All of these writings are special and different in their own unique way.
