The word candy originally comes from qand, the Persian word for "sugar cube." Some people think this word came to Persian from Sanskrit or a Sanskrit-derived language. We know it then went from Persian into Arabic as qandi, and eventually into French as sucre candi.

How did the Ancient Egyptians come up with their language?

People do not "come up with" a language. Language evolves over time, generally from a more ancient parent language. In the case of the ancient Egyptian language it is distantly related to ancient Arabic, Assyrian, Hebrew, Phoenician, Berber and Tuareg and they all probably evolved from a single much more ancient parent language.The ancient Egyptian language was written in hieroglyphs which did not record any vowels (exactly as in ancient Arabic, Hebrew and Phoenician); it has many verbs and other words which are made up of three consonants, exactly as in Hebrew and Arabic. For example the group htp means satisfied or content; inx means life or living; xpr means to become; nfr means good.
