Description

A comprehensive study of the sounds of Ancient Egyptian language, this book applies recent methodological advances to phonological reconstruction. By examining internal evidence and actual texts, James Allen explores the development of sound in ancient Egyptian texts, including variants and alternants.

The work also touches on external evidence from Afroasiatic cognate languages, making it an essential resource for Egyptologists and scholars of African and Semitic languages. This up-to-date analysis provides valuable insights into the phonology of Ancient Egyptian language.
