About This Book
By challenging assumptions regarding the proximity between Egyptian andSemitic Languages, Ancient Egyptian and Afroasiatic provides a freshapproach to the relationships and similarities between Ancient Egyptian, Semitic, and Afroasiatic languages.This in-depth analysis includes a re-examination of the methodologies deployed in historical linguistics and comparative grammar, a morphological study of Ancient Egyptian, and critical comparisons between Ancient Egyptian and Semitic, as well as careful considerations of environmental factors and archaeological evidence.These contributions offer a reassessment of the Afroasiatic phylum, which is based on the relations between Ancient Egyptian and the other Afroasiatic branches. This volume illustrates the advantages of viewing Ancient Egyptian in its African context.
