don't even have 26 letters in our alphabet!
The Khmer language of Southeast Asia has 74 letters in the alphabet, including 24 dependent vowels and 12 independent vowels.
The Chinese language has over 50,000 symbols (many are only historic usage), but only 24 basic characters. Japanese, originally based on Chinese, has similar numbers. :-)
- logograms, which were literal images of objects - eg “eye” meant--
“eye”; phonograms, which were an expanded alphabet - 24
single-consonant hieroglyphs, plus some two- and three- consonant
symbols (with implicit vowels) ; determinatives, symbols that
clarified the meaning of the preceding hieroglyph; and strokes used
for numbers etc.
With variations there were actually thousands of symbols but most people wouldn’t have known what most of them meant. The phonograms evolved into the middle-Egyptian Demotic script as the other hieroglyph types faded away as scholars needed to understand each others work, and then later into Coptic.
