I'm curious How did people move from using hieroglyphs to developing more widely used languages and writing systems. At what point did the conversion occur and why did it happen

Hieroglyphics were a formal script, used on stone monuments and in tombs, and were very precise in their description. In everyday writing, scribes used a cursive typeface called hieratic, which was faster and easier. Around the first century AD, the Coptic alphabet began to be used alongside popular writing. Coptic is a Greek alphabet with some demotic signs and symbols added. Although hieroglyphics were used in a ceremonial role until the fourth century AD, they were only read by a few priests.
