[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [b] [QUOTE]. . . theres a continuity through time and a similarity across distance showing the commonality of culture from the Dal cataract on downriver[/QUOTE]You will recall my ealier question about language groups. Linguistically can Group A be related to Group C?[/b][/QUOTE] Writing. This one vital element of culture is one of the markings of the split between TaWy and TaNehesy. Since TaNehesy eschewed writing for many a century after TaWy embraced it, how can we know for sure what language the A group spoke versus what language the C group spoke? Kom Ombos was the capital of the Egyptian nome TaSeti.nwt. The written records from the various towns and cities of TaSeti.nwt use the mdw ntr. Their language was some dialect of AEL. A few days ago there was a post citing an AE document talking about the differences in dialect in Kmt. No doubt TaSeti.nwt dialect was full of infusions from the language of lower TaSeti.x3st. It would take years of specialized study but if the written language at all mirrors the spoken tongue a comparison of documents from TaSeti.nwt and Kmtyw settlements in Wawat may have elements of A group and C group language in them. Attention to the words involving the most popular trade items would be one place that could yield clues. [/QB][/QUOTE]
