Egyptian, like many of its related languages, has single, dual, and plural forms of nouns, meaning a noun can be written three different ways signifying one thing, two things, and three or more things.  Like the [[Romance language]]s and [[Irish]] [[Gaelic]], Egyptian nouns are either masculine or feminine.  Egyptian’s basic word order is ‘Subject, Noun, Object.”  ‘The man opens the door’ would be ‘Opens the man the door’.

When most people think of the Egyptian Language, they think of [[hieroglyph]]s, but not all Egyptian is written with glyphs.  While Archaic, Old, Middle, and Late Egyptian were written with hieroglyphs, Demotic was written with an alphabet similar to modern Arabic script, and Coptic was written with a modified form of the Greek alphabet.
