Best Answer

The Egyptian system of writing was called "Hieroglyphics" . The writing combines logographic, syllabic and alphabetic elements, with a total of some 1,000 distinct characters.

By "our system writing" if you mean the Roman alphabet, then this only has 26 letters where each letter contributes a sound to make a word. There are about 172 thousand words in English.
