The Egyptian scripts were not actually logographic, though, they were primarily phonetic with some logographic elements - i.e. they had symbols for every sound and some symbols that represented several sounds, but also a few symbols that would represent entire words, and some symbols that would be included in otherwise phonetic spellings to help with interpreting the word (called determinatives).

The common theory is, the hieratic script was adopted by Sinai Arabs, who would later make their own sinatic script and influence the scripts of the Canaanites Nabateans and Phoenicians. The reason why the Egyptian script influenced most of the western world's scripts is because the Phoenician script was adopted by archaic Greeks and from Greek we have Latin and from Latin all Western languages, which were spread globally in the age of colonialism. And the reason it did for most Semitic scripts is because the Sinai Arabs spread their proto-sinatic script to nearby peoples that were the ancestors of the Hegaz Arabs and Hebrews.

Basically, Hieroglyphs were adapted into the Proto-Sinaitic script, which then evolved into the Phoenician script, which evolved into the Aramaic script. The Brahmi script is generally believed to have been adapted from the Aramaic script (though alternative hypotheses also exist!), and Devanagari and the Thai script both ultimately descend from the Brahmi script. If you'd like to learn more, I have a video on my channel called The Origins of the Alphabet about the evolution of Hieroglyphs into the Alphabet we're using now through a similar chain of evolution!

For what I know about the ancient Egyptian language, they used to place the numerals and the adjectives after the noun they respectively quantify and qualify. And this is exactly the way any ancient or existing African language is built. You can check with Wolof, Yoruba, Swahili, Zulu.... So in a sense, they used to "speak african". Which is all but a surprise. For instance they use "cows two" to say "two cows", "tree big" to say "big tree".

Only dead and extinct languages stop evolving. Dead languages are languages that are no longer used as vernacular, but the usage is restricted as liturgical languages of various religions as well as certain philosophical works while extinct languages are languages that are no longer used for any purpose. Coptic is regarded as a dead language as it is only used as liturgical language of Coptic Church though there might be some pockets of Coptic communities use it as vernacular only within their own communities.

It is also for this reason the that according to herodotus (3.88) that the arabs were some of the only ones in the achaeminid realm that werent reduced to servile status but united by friendship (this part doest make sense to me either), but its also probably bc of this reason that the persian royal tomb relief depict the arab along with the scythian in golden chains. There are berbers (dont know since when honestly) in the siwa oasis too i find it dumb that people here try to depict egyptian dialect as some form of survived coptic when for a half lebanese like me i can understand it clearly (shockingly this is true for most dialects, arabs like to lie about how their dialect is so unique and special lol)

@@Iamfsaly Indeed. The other branches are Cushitic, Chadic and Omotic. These are more divergent from Hamito-Semitic though, which are more immediately related to each other.

The name "Misr" or slightly different forms of it was found in some ancient Egyptian official papyrus texts and diplomatic documents written by and to the Egyptians, It's not a name that was "given" by the Arabs. The word "Kemet" which means "black earth" was used by the people who lived along the Nile on the fertile black soil of the Nile valley to simply refer to their homeland on which they lived, it was never used as an official name for the country referred to by the Latins as "Egypt". The people who lived in deserts and worked mostly as miners and quarry workers would refer to their homeland as "Deshert" which means "red earth". As for the word "Egypt" a possible Egyptian influence on the Latin word could be the word "Gip" which those who lived in the Nile Delta and traded with people from the Sea such as Latins relying on the network of canal and small rivers and their connection to the Mediterranean Sea, the word "Gipt" mean canal.

Actually there are lots of common words between Arabic and Ancient Egyptian. Take the word kemt which was the name of Egypt. It means black so does the word kumait كميت in Arabic which also means black. Add to that the similar Grammer between the two languages

Ancinet Egyptians never called their country ad whole Kemet. The Dshret or the red land was also part of Egypt. In all foreign correspondence, the kemet name never appeared even once, from the Akkadian and Myceanian to Greek or Romans and beyond, only names derived from the semitic name Misr or the Egyptian Hikaptah were used.

Most of the names in Africa tafarka in Kabyle have meanings in tamazight

Sadly I've had Egyptians tell me that Arabic is original language of Egypt and that Coptic was a colonial language.

Before the industrial revolution, European expansion, and the national education system, Egyptians were overwhelmingly farmers(still kinda were even under british rule) and the more rural you go, even today, the more you realize how "Egyptian" egyptian Arabic is, a blend of Hegazi(and yemeni) arabic and regional Coptic. You will notice how it could be considered a language of its own. In the cities, however, you will find countless foreign words from Italian, Greek, French, English, Turkish even Kurdish and Morrocan. That is because Cairo and Alexandria specifically were melting pots of MANY groups, kinda like NYC today, I like to say that before there was the American dream and the concept of "the land of opportunity" for people building themselves from nothing, the kingdom of Egypt was exactly that for foreigners, but sadly after the 50s military coup most non-Egyptian groups fled.

Technically, the Ancient Egyptian language would have been called Kemetian by its speakers. The Ancient Egyptians called themselves Kemetians. The land of Egyptian was called Kemet by the Ancient Egyptian. The Ancient Egyptian Mythology would have been called Kemetism. The name Egypt came from the Greek Ptolemaic Dynasty, which controlled Egypt before Rome annexed it. Heck, today, Egypt calls itself Misr.

Arabic Misr comes from Hebrew Mitzraim. As you can see it's a plural word, referring to both the Upper and Lower Egypt - ancient Hebrews had intimate contact with Egyptians and picked up from them the idea that it was really 2 different countries: the lower one, at the Nile's delta and surrounding areas, and the upper one,today's southern Egypt and northern Sudan. There were ecological differences between the 2, and speakers of Egyptian from south had some trouble communicating with folks in the torth and viceversa

We don’t actually know how kmt was pronounced, it’s just standard practice in Egyptology to put an e where the vowels are otherwise unknown. It may have been Kemet, Kamit, Kimat, Kamet, Kemat or all else more with any other vowels you can think of. Until we get something closer to a demotic or earlier Coptic style inscription giving us the vowels, we have no way to know for sure

Egypt was called Egypt by the Greeks well before they occupied it. Kmt was the endonym tho. The religion was likely not called Kemetism since pagan religions were rarely named, especially by insiders. If anything it would be named by outsiders like the greeks as part of some Egyptian/Ra pantheon

@retf8977

That is not true at all. Kmt was AN endonym; not THE endonym. In fact egypt had a more common endonym, deshret, and a locally used exonym, misiru (which was used by the near East and carried on to hebrew and arabic and eventually modern egypt) and the Egyptians didn't call their religion anything, neither did any ancient civilization

Coptic is a Graeco-Roman-Demotic creole. Gotcha.

Hi. I am Kabyle from north Africa. Egypt is مصر. This comes from tamazight mis = son. Ra= god Ra. Misra is egypt it's son of Ra.

I ated it

The Copts' language is ancient Greek... No one knows the phonetic language of the Pharaohs... It is just writing different letters, but the sound of the letters is unknown to anyone.

The people that you see there today are not the indigenous Egypt thats why those arabs do speak the kemetian language

Ancient Egyptian reconstructions legend: OE = Old Egyptian ME = Middle Egyptian LE = Late Egyptian bꜣjr = OE /baʀˈjaːruw/, LE /bøʔrə/ nṯrj = OE /nacˈruj/, ME /naˈtruj/, LE /naˈtruʔ/ wḥꜣt = OE /ˈwaħʀat/, ME /ˈwaħʀaʔ/, LE /ˈwaħi/ ꜣbw = OE /ˈʀuːbaw/, ME /ˈʀuːbaw/, LE /ˈjuːbə/

It became welsh

How can one completely lose its own language? The answer is simple. Ancient Egyptian are not equal to Modern Egyptian. They are different people. Even the coptics is not the same as the Nile Valley Nubia peach black Africans. Indigenous people of Nubia, which is known as upper Egypt, is not the hycsos Arabs who conquered lower Egypt. At least, we all agreed to the fact that upper Egypt is Nubian black headed people. Right???

Other Arabs : no bro Egypt speaks their own shit we can’t understand

It becomes Coptic then merge with arabic creating the Egyptian dilact

Hhhhh simple cause those who spoke migrated deep inside the continent of Africa.

because a bird took too long to draw as the letter 'A' lol

Thank you for you video 🙏🏻. Arabic is derived from syriac which was an aramaic dialect, Arabic became its own thing after the introduction of the dialect in the abbasid era. in the other hand, Egypt used to speak Greek and some form of aramaic, maybe syriac? Also, there were never a mass migration to Egypt to introduce a language or religion from the east.

Not true, Arabic and Aramaic are sister languages and Arabic lacks many innovations that Aramaic had and vice versa. Literally no one thinks Arabic comes from Aramaic except nationalists that refuse to actually read the science that goes into studying the relationship between languages.

Egyptian culture wasn't wiped out it Christianized and later Islamized, that is an ignorant statement... Muslims allowed Zoroastrians to practice acts such as Mother Marriage, they allowed Hindus to worship all their Gods and maintain their rituals, both are non-Abrahamic faiths. Islamic law is clear, Non-Muslims under Islamic rule are ahl al dthima (the people of protection, i.e. protected class) They get to rule their communities by their book and common law as long as they pay the Jyzia tax of 1.75% of their yearly income to the state. The prophet said "Whoever harms a dhimmi will not smell the scent of heaven" and he said that he would defend the dhimmi on the day of judgement in front of God... So yet another hilariously ignorant statement. The Egyptian language was not long dead 😂😂😂You had 7 MILLION Military aged males(based on the Jyzia tax population estimate) speaking Coptic when Arabs conquered Egypt, the vast majority were farmers and the vast majority didn't speak Greek or Latin.... a third ignorant statement, come on you can't be this dense.... But if you are sincere I would recommend you look up a lecture on YT by Fawzeya Haykal called Egyptian Cultural Continuity to see how wrong you are and maybe you learn a thing or two about how Christianization and Islamization impacted Egyptians.
