Egyptian.
A name for the old language of Egypt, as read in hieroglyphics, in Hieratic and Demotic inscriptions, and papyri. Works by Champollion, Young, Sharpe, Lepsius, Brugsch, Lieblein, and Bunsen. (Vol. v. of “England’s Place in Universal History” contains a most copious dictionary by Dr. Birch.) Grammar by Tattam, London, 1863.
⁂ By some the language is regarded as monosyllabic; by others as undeveloped Semitic; by others it is called Hamitic, and thought to be allied to Turanian. G. R. See [Coptic].
