| | Egyptian Arabic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | For a while, Egyptian Arabic enjoyed a period of rich literary output until the movement was halted with the continuing rise of Islamism and Arab nationalism in Egypt and the Middle East, particularly with Nasser's assumption of power in 1954. | | | Two of the main proponents of Egyptian linguistic reform were Qasim Amin, who also wrote the first Egyptian feminist treatise, and former president of the Egyptian University, Ahmad Lutfy es-Sayyed. | | | With the ongoing Islamization and Arabization of the country, Egyptian Arabic slowly supplanted spoken Egyptian. |

| | The Bohairic dialect of Coptic is still used by the Egyptian Christian Churches. | | | It should be noted that Egyptian writing in the form of label and signs has been dated to 3200 BC. | | | The actual rendition of his name, however, is thought to be "Riaˁmissa", as discovered from cuneiform documents in Mesopotamia. |

| | The Pronunciation of Ancient Egyptian |
| | The best evidence of the pronunciation of Late Egyptian, however, is from the documents found in the diplomatic archives of Amenhotep III and Akhenaton at Amarna, for these documents were kept in Akkadian, not in Egyptian. | | | Since the political project of Egyptian Kings was always to restore things "as they were in the beginning," this is not surprising. | | | However, although this would be familiar and agreeable to the Egyptians, Egyptian usage was ordinarily to write from right to left, as today is done in Hebrew and Arabic. |

| | Reformed Egyptian in The Book of Mormon |
| | Remember, Joseph's wife was Egyptian, his language and culture were Egyptian, and his sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, were Egyptian. | | | Nephi said, "I make a record in the language of my father, which consists of the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians" (1 Nephi 1:2). | | | Certainly, Moroni implies, some thousand years after Lehi that Hebrew is the spoken language of the Nephite people. |

| | Archaic Egyptian (first two Dynasties), Old Egyptian (Old Kingdom), Middle Egyptian (First Intermediate Period and Middle Kingdom), Late Egyptian (New Kingdom and Third Intermediate Period), Demotic Egyptian (Late Period) and Coptic (Roman Period). | | | Later, Jacob Polotsky (1905 -1991) established the "standard theory" of Egyptian grammar. | | | Furthermore, despite major grammatical discoveries, Egyptian writing is ambiguous qua grammatical form. |

| | We begin with 1 Nephi 1:2:"2 Yea, I make a record in the language of my father, which consists of the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians." We have two elements, the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians. | | | This is particularly important because of the phrasing of 1 Nephi 1:2:"Yea, I make a record in the language of my father, which consists of the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians." | | | Nevertheless, they had had many wars and serious contentions, and had fallen by the sword from time to time; and their language had become corrupted; and they had brought no records with them; and they denied the being of their Creator; and Mosiah, nor the people of Mosiah, could understand them." |

| | Therefore, the fact that the Nephites had "altered" the Egyptian characters according to their "manner of speech" underscores the probability that they were writing Hebrew with Egyptian characters. | | | But the possibility that Lehi´s colony could maintain spoken Egyptian as a second language through a thousand years without merging it with Hebrew or losing it is beyond probability. | | | Unlike Hebrew, Egyptian had biconsonantal and even triconsonantal signs. |

| | Linguistic Correspondence: Nahuatl and Ancient Egyptian |
| | Linguistic correspondence between nahuatl and ancient Egyptian appears to represent a smoking gun; that is, a trace of evidence that these two peoples did enjoy some kind of contact between themselves ages ago. | | | The fact that we have no real evidence of said contact, or that we have been unable to find any such evidence, should not serve as the basis for denying the possibility of that contact. | | | For two distinct peoples, on opposites sides of the planet to have chosen the almost exact word-concept to represent the same/similar thing defies logic. |

| | How To Pronounce Egyptian - Introduction |

| | FYI: The Languages of Egypt |
| | The Greek speaking population wanted to phoneticize the indigenous Egyptian language which, at that time, was written in demotic. | | | The language itself is related to both the Semitic language family found in the Middle East (consisting of languages like ancient Akkadian, Hebrew, Ethiopic and even Arabic) and has certain similarities with a language family called the Hamitic language spoken by peoples in east Africa. | | | When one thinks of Egyptian language, perhaps the first thing that comes to mind are hieroglyphics. |

| | Scholars have also recently deciphered an Aramaic version of Psalm 20:2-6 that was written in demotic Egyptian characters.[12] This is precisely what the Book of Mormon claims existed: a version of the Hebrew scriptures in the Hebrew language, but written using Egyptian characters. | | | Early forms of writing in Crete apparently developed from a combination of "Egyptian hieroglyphic, Mesopotamian cuneiform and Phoenician native signs into one single, new pictographic script."[9] Note again that there is a mixture of Semitic (Mesopotamian and Phoenician) and Egyptian writing systems, precisely as described in the Book of Mormon. | | | These are both examples of writing the Egyptian language in reformed versions of the Egyptian hieroglyphic script; there are also several examples of the use of reformed or modified Egyptian characters to write non-Egyptian languages. |
