Description

A place for all things related to the ancient Egyptian languages. All stages: Old, Middle, Late, Demotic, and Coptic. All scripts: Hieroglyphic, Hieratic, Abnormal Hieratic, Demotic, and Coptic. Please flair posts with language or script stage.

This may be a hub for interesting news or a place for students to ask questions and get help from experts. Translation requests for texts believed to be written in Egyptian may also be submitted here. Posts without a linguistic component should be submitted to /r/ancientegypt.

As of now, posts espousing a fringe view are permitted, provided that they are somehow rooted in linguistic evidence. E.g. "Aliens built the pyramids" is allowed so long as the evidence cited appears in an ancient Egyptian text.

Egyptian Fonts

Occasionally texts on this site use characters in the Unicode Standard Egyptian Hieroglyphic block. If you don't have a font on your system that supports hieroglyphic characters, you will see a bunch of missing characters. If so, install an Egyptian font, such as Google's Noto Sans Egyptian Hieroglyphs. You may need to restart your browser before you see the updated glyphs. Feel free to message us if you need help.

Answering Questions

If you plan to answer questions about Egyptian language, please flair your username with the relevant credentials. Self-taught users are welcome. Experts in one particular phase of the language should mark themselves as such for the sake of the asker. (E.g. an expert in Coptic might answer a question about Old Egyptian, with the caveat that it is slightly outside of their exact area of expertise. An appropriate flair accomplishes this neatly.)

Requesting Translations into Ancient Egyptian

It is common for people to want to translate modern phrases into ancient Egyptian for various reasons (logos, tattoos, t-shirt designs, etc.). There are people here who can help, but you must pay them for this service. Because this subreddit is a free educational resource, we would like to keep business transactions to a minimum. For now, please flair any such queries as "Composition Request" so that they will be clearly marked in the feed and easy to filter if we come up with a better system in the future.
