How is lower Egypt different from upper Egypt?
Ancient Egypt was divided into two regions, known as Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. To the north was Lower Egypt where the Nile stretched out with its several branches to form the Nile Delta. To the south was Upper Egypt, stretching to Syene. The two kingdoms of Upper and Lower Egypt were united c. 3000 BCE, but each maintained its own regalia. Thus, the pharaohs were known as the rulers of the Two Kingdoms (alternatively: Two Lands), and wore the pschent, a double crown, each half representing sovereignty of one of the kingdoms.
The terminology "Upper" and "Lower" derives from the flow of the Nile from the highlands of East Africa northwards to the Mediterranean Sea, so Upper Egypt lies to the south of Lower Egypt. Lower Egypt mostly consists of the Nile Delta.
There were a number of differences between Upper and Lower Egyptians in the ancient world. They spoke different dialects and had different customs. Many of these differences, and the occasional tensions they created, still exist in modern times.

What Egyptian king united the upper and lower Egypt?

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
