Hieratic

Hieratic is a cursive writing system used in pharaonic Egypt that developed alongside the hieroglyphic system, to which it is intimately related. It was primarily written in ink with a reed brush on papyrus, allowing scribes to write quickly without resorting to the time consuming hieroglyphs (which were typically only used when incising on stone of some sort, as in tombs, stele, and temple walls). (thanks wikipedia for a concise and more-accurate-than-others definition)

Monique is learning hieratic and it's "challenging, so hopefully rewarding" to learn.
