	The Ancient Egypt Site - Hieroglyphic Writing - Hieroglyphs, Hieratic and Coptic
		Prior to demotic, it was also used in administrative and private texts and in stories.
		Demotic was mostly used in administrative and private texts, but also in stories and quite exceptionally in inscriptions.
		Thus demotic would become the writing of the administration from the 26th Dynasty on, but it did not entirely replace hieratic as a handwriting, which was still being used in religious texts.

	Demotic script

	Ancient Egyptian scripts
		The Demotic or popular script, a name given to it by Herodotus, developed from a northern variant of the Hieratic script in around 660 BC.
		During the 26th Dynasty it became the preferred script at court, however during the 4th century it was gradually replaced by the Greek-derived Coptic alphabet.
		During the Ptolemaic Period it was regularly carved in stone - the most famous example of this is the Rosetta Stone, which is inscribed with texts in the Hieroglyphic script, Greek and Demotic and was one of the keys to the decipherment of Ancient Egyptian scripts.

		Demotic was the principal writing form at the time when the stone was carved, whereas hieroglyphics were used for formal inscription of documents and monuments, similar to our use today of Old English font instead of a more modern one where an impressive presentation is desired.
		Young deduced that the demotic writing was not entirely alphabetic, as the Swede had incorrectly deduced twelve years before.
		He also noticed that at least some of the demotic characters resembled the corresponding hieroglyphs and were adopted as verbal characters and mixed with letters of the alphabet.

	Checklist of Editions
		LIST OF The primary purpose of the Checklist of Greek, Latin, Demotic and Coptic Papyri, Ostraca and Tablets is to provide for scholars and librarians a ready bibliography of all monographic volumes, both current and out-of-print, of Greek, Latin, Demotic and Coptic documentary texts on papyrus, parchment, ostraca or wood tablets.
		Texts published in periodicals as journal articles are mainly excluded, but with a number of exceptions based on the extent of the edition or the presence of full indexes.
		The Demotic material included in this edition of the Checklist has called for fuller treatment, and we have included more information about reprints and reeditions than is the case for texts in the other languages.

	Ancient Scripts: Egyptian
		And finally, demotic is a highly cursive script that replaced hieratic as the script for everyday use from 600 BCE onward.
		In fact, some demotic signs translate into more than one hieratic or hieroglyphic signs, so there isn't a one-to-one correspondence between demotic and the other two systems.
		The demotic became the every-day script, used for accounting, writing down literature, writings, etc. The following demotic inscription is from the famous Rosetta Stone.

	Oriental Institute \| The Chicago Demotic Dictionary
		The Chicago Demotic Dictionary (CDD) is a lexicographic tool for reading texts written in a late stage of the ancient Egyptian language and in a highly cursive script known as Demotic.
		650 B.C. until the middle of the fifth century A.D., Demotic served as the medium for a wide variety of text types.
		Demotic texts thus not only provide important witnesses for the development of ancient Egyptian linguistic and paleographical traditions but also constitute an indispensable source for reconstructing the social, political, and cultural life of ancient Egypt during a fascinating period of its history.
