to express some other
phonations of unique egyptian phoneme letters,

I.
introduction:

to begin
studying egyptian language:

1. one should
master reading phoneme letters of in the first table, the corrected table of
ossama alsaadawi! he should stress on the egyptian guttural sounds and master
reading them correctly.

2. one
should master reading all bilateral phonetic hieroglyphs according to their
correct utterances.

3. one
should follow all the strict rules for reading
ancient egyptian hieroglyphs.

4. one
should study carefully correct interpretations of
ancient egyptian pictures because they are integrated parts of
ancient
egyptian texts.

5. studying
slang spoken egyptian is a must for learning ae language. good electronic
egyptian or arabic dictionary makes a great help. It is very easy to start
learning spoken egyptian by learning and mastering reading of all egyptian
bilateral phonetic words like ab, akh, 3m, Hr, rb, fr,
etc. every bilateral egyptian word has a specified meaning and used frequently
by the Egyptian peoples who inherited it from their ancient egyptian
forefathers.

studying all
dictionaries of dr. ossama alsaadawi is a
must for learning true ancient
egyptian language and here are four important links to start with:

common

dictionary

key words

vocabulary

one should be
aware that most of traditional deciphering, interpretations and translations of
the Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphic texts were wrong. therefore, for correct
reading and writing of Egyptian Hieroglyphs one should rely only on the above
documents, that is *dictionaries of
ossama alsaadawi*.

6.
purchasing the following two egyptian hieroglyphic documents is a
must for learning
egyptian language from point of view of listing and reckoning most of the
ancient egyptian hieroglyphic signs, words and expressions:

a.

egyptian grammar, being an
introduction to the study of hieroglyphs,
by, sir
Alan Gardiner, third edition

b. an egyptian hieroglyphic
dictionary (ehd),
by,
e.a. Wallis Budge,
i.s.b.n: 0-486-23615-3, comes in two
volumes.

7. one
should know how to write, read, and express the egyptian guttural and unique
letters:

8. one
should realize that the spoken
egyptian has never changed since very old epochs of ancient egypt and that
modern egyptians speak very same like their ancient forefathers did. this of
course help much in learning ancient egyptian language.

9. one
should realize that there is nothing called
coptic language. by coptic language
savants mean the coptic script or writing line that the copts tried to use in
place of the egyptian writing lines during the coptic era (390-640-AD). this
trial died in its cradle because the coptic script (modified greek) never matched the spoken
egyptian and was deserted by the copts themselves. the copts, either the ancients or the modern, speak only the
colloquial egyptian which is
prevailing in all epochs of the egyptian history and up today.

11. one
should realize that ancient egyptian gods
were wrongly deciphered by followers of champollion and the correct
interpretations of the egyptian gods have
quite different meanings!

II.
simple examples for reading and writing few egyptian words:

1. how
to read or write the egyptian word for *father*?

if you
don't know the utterance of the egyptian word for *father* then you may find it
in a good english-egyptian or english-arabic dictionary. if you search for it
you will find it as *ab* which means *father*. now how to write *ab* in egyptian
hieroglyphs?

a. we
can use simple egyptian phoneme hieroglyphs (alphabets) like this:

[G1-D58]

ab = father

however, we must realize and be aware that the ancient egyptians used (in most
cases) only bilateral phonetic values to write their written hieroglyphic texts.
therefore, although this word is technically correct yet it is not an ancient
egyptian way for writing it. hence, we should search for another bilateral sign
which could be used as *ab* lingual component to write this word. this sign is
[G29], and the word for egyptian father could be written as:

[G1-G29]

ab = father

see Wallis Budge EHD, p.5a,
first word

the
word could be written also without the vulture sign G1 but it is placed here to
ensure that word starts with (a) and not vise versa. this word is the written
egyptian word for father and reads as (ab) as shown above.

2. how
to read or write the egyptian word for *brother*?

if you
don't know the utterance of the egyptian word for *brother* then you may find it
in a good english-egyptian or english-arabic dictionary. if you search for it
you will find it as *akh* which means *brother*. now how to write *akh* in
egyptian hieroglyphs?

a. we
can use simple egyptian phoneme hieroglyphs (alphabets) like this:

[G1-Aa1:D54]
