[QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [qb] Swahili is mostly a trade language, spoken as a second language by many people. Relatively few people speak it natively. A bit like English around the world. Ancient Egyptian may have been a lingua franca but many people imo spoke another language as their regional languages including Meroitic (and its ancestor/descendant languages). [/qb][/QUOTE]Correct. The Meroites used Egyptian as their national language uhtil the fall of Egypt as illustrated by the discussion above of the language spoken by rulers of the 25th Dynasty. . [/qb][/QUOTE]So, I don't understand the problem you have with the quote from the book. Kushites from the 25th Dynasty can use Ancient Egyptian as the national language and still speak Meroitic or related languages. [/QB][/QUOTE]
