It sounds gross

I mean some villages still speak it, and it was mostly spoken till the 17th century, so it's easily revived

It's literally the ancient Egyptian language with some Greek influence, that's it

it's mostly the writing system too

not the actual language

2018-11-16 08:14:12 UTC  

And tbh i think a lot of people speak french over there

however there's some loanwords

2018-11-16 08:14:30 UTC  

If its ancient egyptian is it a semitic language

No

Ancient Egyptian, whether it be Middle Egyptian or Demotic

is Afro-Asiatic

2018-11-16 08:14:58 UTC  

You know we used to speak a dialect of canaanite

2018-11-16 08:15:08 UTC  

Which was intelligible to hebrew

2018-11-16 08:15:25 UTC  

Which is weird i guess

If you speak Coptic, you can kind of understand Greek.

vice versa

2018-11-16 08:15:49 UTC  

Nowadays its like arabic/aramaic mix

2018-11-16 08:16:16 UTC  

Im mad cuz you cant revive the old phoenician

2018-11-16 08:16:21 UTC  

Its gone

2018-11-16 08:16:40 UTC  

Which doesnt make sense

Coptic I think can easily be revived since the Preists speak it,

2018-11-16 08:16:46 UTC  

Cuz we invented the alphabet

and some people still do.

I mean

Not really

2018-11-16 08:16:59 UTC  

Yeah i know

The Sumerians had their own alphabet

and so did we

2018-11-16 08:17:10 UTC  

But we invented the alphabet everyone uses

oh

well yeah

I meant more so though

other writing systems were used

but yeah

2018-11-16 08:17:38 UTC  

You would think there would be some sort of epic

2018-11-16 08:17:45 UTC  

Or poem or something

2018-11-16 08:17:57 UTC  

Its just old coffin inscriptions

what

Phoenician

?

2018-11-16 08:26:20 UTC  

Yeah
