This book, the first of its kind, examines how the phonology and
grammar of the ancient Egyptian language changed over more than
three thousand years of its history, from the first appearance of
written documents, c.3250 BC, to the Coptic dialects of the second
century AD and later. Part One discusses phonology, working
backward from the vowels and consonants of Coptic to those that can
be deduced for earlier stages of the language. Part Two is devoted
to grammar, including both basic components such as nouns and the
complex history of the verbal system. The book thus provides both a
synchronic description of the five major historical stages of
ancient Egyptian and a diachronic analysis of their development and
relationship.
