When most people think of the Egyptian Language, they think of hieroglyphs, but not all Egyptian is written with glyphs.  While Archaic, Old, Middle, and Late Egyptian were written with hieroglyphs, Demotic was written with an alphabet similar to modern Arabic script, and Coptic was written with a modified form of the Greek alphabet.
