    Egyptian word for desert, “desheret,” certainly sounds like the modern English word. Egyptian word for cat is “miw,” which is meow. Guess cats always speak the same language wherever and whenever they are. Guess we get some of our English words from ancient sources.

      That doesn´t prove anything, arigatō is Japanese, obrigado is Portuguese, both mean thank you. They are obviously similar. Therefore related? Not at all. There are thousands and thousands of words in each language, so eventually some will sound like others in other languages. Also English is an old language with documents dating back to around 800 AC.

      We all pronounce words differently and languages constantly change. Dialects abound throughout. In Egypt the same thing. When did ancient Egyptian die out? People kept speaking it, however possible until Arabic dominated. Population growth changes things, yes, but there were pockets where people still spoke a certain way and borders had a lot to do with languages as well. Perhaps some small amount of people secretly know Egyptian still in parts of Ethiopia or surrounding areas.

      Desert comes from the Latin desertum that is derived from the verb deserere that means "to forsake, to leave". It was introduced by the French in the middle ages. Probably the Old English for this word was similar to the frisian woastyn - "waste/wasteland".

    Subtitles/transliteration and “pronunciation”:
    nḏ-ḥr.ṯn, ỉnk Egyptonerd (nedj-heru.tjen, inek Egyptonerd)
    mỉn ỉw.n ḥr ib ḥr mdw n km.t (meen, you.en her eeb her medu en Kemet)
    ***
    The adjectives come before the noun when they're used as predicates, compare:
    • pr nfr (per nefer) "(the/a) beautiful house"
    • nfr pr "(the) house is beautiful"
    Since there is no verb "to be" (as in modern Hebrew and Arabic) in Egyptian.
    (Note: Some adjectives do come before the noun in French.)
    Additional explanations on the vocabulary:
    - Tawy (tȝ.wy) means "(The) Two Lands" and refers to the bipartite geography of Egypt (Upper and Lower Egypt).
    - Ta-mery (tȝ-mry) means "(The) Beloved Land".
    - Idebwy (ỉdb.wy) means "(The) Two River Banks".
    - Kemet (km.t) literally means "The Black (one)" and refers to the color of the Nile Valley, as opposed to Deshret (dšr.t) "desert", meaning "The Red (One)".
    - Another animal the Ancients would often encounter: hefau (ḥfȝw) "snake".

    There are recent movements in Egypt to revive the language and much of our Ancient Egyptian culture. There was already a movement called "Pharaohnism" in the 1930s and the 1940s to revive the language and the culture, but thanks to Nasser's Arabism, many today believe we are "Arabs," just because we speak the language.

      what defines an "Arab person", if it's not the native language ?
      In Morocco for instance, those whose 1st language is Arabic are Arabs, but those whose 1st language is a Berber language are called Berbers.
      Now, what's the 1st language of almost all Egyptians of today ? Afaik it's Arabic. So they are Arabs, even though a part of their ancestors were Egyptians (who spoke Egyptian).

    • @naserjwz

      gerald its not the language, It's the genome (your DNA). Morocco is not Arabic at all. The majority of Morroco is of Berberian descent, making them Berberians. That's also why some Morrocans have green or blue eyes. And others may have blond(ish) hair. If they were Arabs that would have been almost impossible

    I've studied many different languages around the world and I am now in my late 60s. I disagree with some of the pronunciation. The surrounding African languages during the time of Ancient Egypt gives us a clue how some words were pronounced. As in English having many words borrowed from other languages, so too was Ancient Egyptian to have a similar constructive relationship. I therefore would pronounce a word, such as, "nfr" as "nfer", pronouncing it in a Swahili sort of way. The "n" having the nasal "n" distinct sound of its own. The "fr" sound most likely is similar to the "fr" sound found in the Czech Language. So, no vowels are necessary. You simply pronounce it as written using the sounds of the consonants.

    For pyramid
    the right word is not MER but Mre, which means big bloc of stone, which is the
    same word as in berber, we say “ti mre” (ti is the feminine article of English “A”)
    .
    Netjer is
    not netjer but tinjer and the feminine tinjert, which litteraly means graven
    image
    Baku is also bkiw( with the article we would
    say Abkiw) , the “ou” sound in egyptian is the sound “wa” or “ew”, (iw in french) so baku is not baku but bkiw (bkeew)
    spet and
    spiwt, here you only hear the word not its article, because ancient egyptian as
    for berber language, both are consonantal languages, which means the vowels are
    not written but pronounced only. as for mre (pyramid,( large cut bloc of stone
    or shaped) we would have spelt it “Ti mre”,
    they did not
    spell the article “ta” or “ti” feminine of English “the”, or the “ A” article
    as in english article a, for masculine .
    TA means land in both languages berber as
    ancient egyptian, in berber we have the word ta maz ra (tamazra) which means
    the land of the RA worshipers, ta land maz worhship, RA the sun.
    wadjwer,
    they should have spellen it a djerwiw

    the people of punt which is located in Somalia today spoke a Cushitic language and they traded goods with the Egyptians so maybe there's a connection there.

    I keep trying to see if i can come across a word meaning the possesive "mine"
    What for u ask? Nerdy as heck reasons....
    Skeksis....the skeksis spoke their own language in older drafts of the dark crystal as well as a writing system thats been scribbled around but ive yet to see the alphabet straight up RELEASED but a chunk of it is based on ancient egyptian words. So im shocked out of all the lines spoken from old clips THAT didn't make it in.

      @extremedude1234 Shut the fuck up this isn't arabic. I know arabic language even if I don't speak it, I listen to a lot of arabic songs and music, very different. It's a shame you will claim this culture and don't know the difference between arab and ancient egypt lmao. The e sounds here is very ancient egyptian lol.

    Hello,
    I'd like to know something i dont really understand.
    Since there is no "O" in Acient Egyptian Language i'd like to know how Names like Djoser, Ahmose or Mentuhotep got formed, since ancient Egpytians did not have the letter "O" it would have been more correct if the names were Djeser, Ahmes (Ahmese) and Mentuhetep. I figured maybe the Greeks got something to do with the translation so an "O" started showing up but i just can't find anything about why the "O" was used in translations, even for "Horus" or "Hor", when it should have been "Her". Is there somekind of rule where you put an "O" in translations or whats the whole deal ? Or is the problem that maybe because im from Germany my sources are different from English sources ? That would make sense with the example of Aten or Akhenaten because in german his name is translated to Aton and Echnaton, both with an "O". That would make sense but Names like Amenhotep (Amenophis) still is Amenhotep and does not change regardles if its in german or english ?
    Maybe you got an Idea. Would be much appreciated if you would contact me via my email.

    • @williamwebb580
      @williamwebb580 5 років тому +2

      Colin Kenway Maybe those names came from a later form of the language, because as I understand it, Ancient Egyptian evolved into Coptic, which obviously has an O sound. So it may have been introduced into the language at that stage or much earlier.

    • @horulin
      @horulin 5 років тому +2

      @@williamwebb580 That would explain the Translations we got today in some way. I started, when im talking about some one like Amenhotep III to call him Amenhetep, because thats closer to his real Egyptian Name, but of course we don't know if they actually put an "e" between the other letters but thats just what i do personally. But Yeah i haven't thought of this Theory, could explain the translations.

    If Moses, Jesus and other middle easterners were able to live in and communicate with the Egyptians the two languages must have been similar. Or were many people of the time bi-lingual?
