The Egyptian language is an ancient language that was spoken in Egypt for thousands of years. It belongs to the Afro-Asiatic language family and has several stages, including Old Egyptian, Middle Egyptian, and Late Egyptian. The language is primarily known from inscriptions, religious texts, and literature written in hieroglyphs, a system of writing that uses symbols to represent sounds and ideas. Over time, the Egyptian language evolved into Coptic, which is still used in some Christian communities in Egypt today. The study of Egyptian language and scripts has provided valuable insights into ancient Egyptian culture, religion, and daily life, making it a crucial area of research for historians and linguists.
