What languages were spoken in ancient Egypt?
That depends when they lived. The original Egyptian language is known as Archaic Egyptian, which evolved into Old, then Middle, then Late Egyptian; the final phase of the development is called Coptic.Nobody alive today can speak any of these languages, except Coptic, because prior to that stage the writing systems did not record any of the vowel sounds (exactly like ancient Hebrew, Arabic and Phoenician). This means we only have the consonant skeleton of each word, allowing us to read, write and translate the language but not to speak it.Egypt is geographically situated between the Semitic-speaking peoples of the Middle East (Hebrews, Phoenicians, Arabs and others) and the original peoples of North Africa: native (pre-Arabic) Libyans, Berbers, Tuaregs and others. The Egyptian languages are also midway between these groups and is today classified as "Afroasiatic". The ancient Egyptian languages closely resemble the structure of Hebrew and Arabic, but with only a few corresponding words

It was created in 196 BCE.
