HIEROGLYPHS. HIEROGLYPHS are the word pictures that represent the sounds of the Ancient Egyptian language. There are two basic types of hieroglyphs: IDEOGRAMS and PHONOGRAMS. Often the same image can be both an ideogram and a phonogram. IDEOGRAMS are images that depict the object they represent. For example the image of a mouth can represent the word 'mouth'. PHONOGRAMS are images that represent the sounds of the Ancient Egyptian language, just like our alphabet represents the sound of our language.
