You are amazing I shared your channel with many of my foreign friends who are interested in learning Egyptian Arabic, and they love your chanel very much and they tell me what they have learnt from you
I hate giving people bad news, but you're not related to the ancient Egyptians. The ancient Egyptians were closely related biologically and ethnically to the _Cushitic_ or _Hamitic_ population from the Horn of Africa! That is a scientific fact demonstrated by varying methods of anthropological analysis; be it linguistic, ethnological, or anatomical. The chance that you have any relation to Predynastic Naqada Egyptians, Dynastic Egyptians, or even Late Period Egyptians is pretty slim to none. Also, don't bother referencing the Max Planck 2017 study either, I'll save you some time. The study does not factor in things like migration patterns, population displacement, dispossession, ethnological changes, linguistic change, genetic drift, archaeological interpretation, etc. The study also makes no mention of any kind of collaboration between specialist in different fields of anthropology, so there is a lot not being discussed or included in this genetic study. Stop calling it your culture, it's not yours.
Wow it’s amazing that even the Somali language has such words exactly and they’ve the same meaning . Babay we say ‘Nune ‘with long voeel U sound . Then Walk for child we say ‘’daadah’’ which has even gone to our Literature and romantic song . Look at this stanza, “ Ahlan wasahlan Dahir (Dahir is the guy’s name) aan is daadeheynee Daahir ” meaning welcome Deqa so that we can hold together and toddle around.
Egyptian Arabic is a really interesting language! We also use the word tata for kids but we say tatee in persian. I didn't know it has an Egyptian root.
Woah, cool video! I love ancient Egyptian language! Greek suffix -φοβια /phobia/ like in 'arachnophobia' and the word φοβος /phobos/ 'fear' actually come from Proto-Indo-European root bhewg- which means 'to flee, to run' and is not related to Egyptian b3b3.
I love Arabic... I love Egypt and Arabic music.... I love Abdel Halim Hafez... I subscribed to your channel.. I want to learn how to speak Arabic so when I go back one day, it will be easy for me... I miss Egypt... I miss eating koshari:(
Excellent video. تسلم إيديك. Where can the book you referenced --origins of Egyptian slang-- be found? أنا طالب اللغة ال عربية من الولايات المتحدة و بأحب اللهجة المصرية أوي.
Mistake at 0:43, hieroglyphic is a form of logogram, a way of writing - not a language. They even had other writing systems, one of them being Demotic. What you're thinking of, and have mentioned many times in the video, is ancient Egyptian.
@Masry S.A Cushitic isn’t a language but another distinct branch of the Afroasiatic language family like Ancient Egyptian. Somali and Oromo are prominent members. While I agree with you that AE isn’t a Cushitic language, in the distant past there may have been more mutual intelligibility between the languages. Ancient Egypt used to trade extensively with the land of Punt which we now know is in modern Somalia.

Fobos From Ancient Greek Φόβος (Phóbos), from φόβος (phóbos, “fear”) In Greek mythology, Fear is the personification of fear. The ancient Greeks considered him the son of Mars and Aphrodite. Together with his brother Deimos, who was the personification of terror, he accompanied his father in the wars. In the Iliad, (HOMER), Fear as a person is mentioned in verses D 440, N 299 and O 119. In the latter he is commanded together with Deimos to harness his horses `Mars
I suppose that you Egyptians also have an "ancient Egyptians accent" because Moroccans, Algerians, Libyans and Tunisians still speak Arabic with a Amazigh accent. Their Arabic sounds like Amazigh and North African Arabic got also influenced by their native language, also grammatically. Egyptian Arabic got also hardcore influenced by the native Egyptian language.
It's also not the case that Egyptians directly started to speak Arabic, it was a long process and during this process their native language influenced the Arabic language.
Could it be said that Levantine Arabic has an Aramaic accent or did the transition from Aramaic to Arabic as the majority mother tongue happen too fast?
We are reall punt bro we says ,,daa dah daadah ,,when young children are playing or offering to steb by step walking! Just was amazing ,somalia 🇸🇴 are ancestors of punt kingdoms
I'm really going to have to check the etymologies for some of these words. The ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead is called _peret em herw_ which means "coming forth by light. Then the word _hedj_ is light or white in ancient Egyptian.
can u tell me the link of video you mention in 1:52, i am interested to learn how to sing that song , it sounds very interesting, I really appreciate your information
Since Coptic and Arabic are both Afroasiatic languages (they're distantly related). I would argue that the word "moo" for water in Coptic is most likely connected to the Arabic "Maa2" or "mai".
Something that would be helpful, is a video or two on buying things - from food to clothes to whatever. Discuss the money and it's denominations, asking how much does this cost? How much is that? Amounts of things wanted, bartering, the usual stuff that one encounters when shopping in Egypt. This is an everyday thing and I don't see much about it at all yet it affects each traveler in your country. Shukran G
Wowwww....now i know where the word "ta ta" comes from.... Here in indonesia we also use this word while training our babies their first step. Before watching ur video i thought that it was just something random. Im so surprised to that we in fact adopted it from egypt.
@@Linguamid there must be explanation. Fog has no spécial meaning in ancient World. But dawn or dusk have very deep meaning in ancient World like in religion especially. Maybe it twisted its original meaning?

Unfortunately I couldn’t find the source that connects baba from ancient Egyptian to phobos from Ancient Greek. Can you provide a link or something to do I can research it? Cause I wanna believe that phobia is an Egyptian word but so far my research is fruitless
These info is from a research made by an esteemed Egyptian Historian called 'Sameh Maqar' سامح مقار He has tens of books about the roots of the Egyptian dialect like 'Egyptian dialect and its roots, Egyptian dialect and ancient Egyptian,...) and many more
i have heard that until the 19 century people in upper egypt stil spoke old egyptian language. is this true? and does anybody today is able to speak old egyptian? without the arabic influence?
You mean the Coptic? - No I don't think so ... The Arabic influence in spoken Egyptian is very strong so you will find Arabic component - (Nubian is not because it's a special language of its own and is much closer to Sudanese)
@@MBison-oc5tc it’s because of the Arab influence for sure but as an Egyptian I wish to go back to our old language but sadly many Egyptians don’t agree with this since it’s not entirely possible we’ve already adapted to Arabic language
I totally agree with your comments and n how amazing and multicultural the Egyptian language is something that popped to me is Shabboora, does this word have relation to the district of Shobra شبرا
No Coptics are the Christians, yet Amazighs are located in Northern West in the siwa oasis and they speak the amazighen language, but both Amazighs and coptics are North Africans
In Slovak language, we say ňuňu (njunju) to a baby or a beloved pet, when we cuddle them. Sometimes we "cuddle" them just by saying ňuňu, when we cannot touch them (not to wake them, or their are not our kids/pets, but they are cute... :D ). Eg. you see a baby in a stroller, you can lean and say something like "oh, ňuňu, you are so cute"... I don't know, if nunu in your language is used in the same way, as it was not specified in the video. I don't know if there is a connection, but I doubt that. We also say ťuťu (tjutju) sometimes, instead of ňuňu. :D
Hey there, I am curious if you people from Еgypt consider yourself completely as Arabians? To me as foreigner, you are very different in culture and also fisicly, you looks differently...so I am asking my self do you have the perception that you are different people? However from all the Arabic dialects, I prefer the sound of the Egyptian Arabic 😊
thanks for sharing this thought Purelle - In a matter of fact, you are mostlz true - Pure Egyptians are not descendant from Arabs, but rather from ancient Egyptians. But throughout history, there was an immense mixture between Egyptians and Arabs which made the Arabic language one of the main pillars of the spoken Egyptian. I am very happy by the way that you like the Egyptian sound
This is impressive - I know there were strong economic relationship between Egypt and Somalia in Ancient time, including trading and exchange of resources- it is very likely to see the impact of this on the language..
@@Linguamid actually we have a lot of common words but it could be due to several reasons. As mentioned trade, which we know existed and Somalia was Punt (God's Land) and supplied frankincenses and myrrh. Also because both belong to Afroasiatic languages so not all words disappeared. Other words called qorah (sun) but in Somali X represents ح, so it's actually qorax. Qor means neck and Rax is the proper pronunciation as you know and not Western "Ra or Rah" So it means sun = neck of Rax Aar - lion Webi = hebi = river Dayax = moon, Ancient Egyptian say a'yax Huuno = siblings/brother/sister Huuno is related to Nuno Can't remember them all but let me know
I hope the Egyptian government saves the Egyptian Arabic language and not get influenced by Saudis. I prefer the 'G' over 'J' in Egyptian Arabic, and retain the many Coptic/Pharaonic influences

@@Hamitic_Race did you saw the dna test on ancient egyptian mummies ..they have middleastern blood ..modern egyptians now are more african than ancients by dna tests ..ancient egyptians looked like how they debicted themselves yellow ,reddish brown colors ..they are afro asiatic language and blood ..you are saying wrong inforamtion ...they debicted east africans your talking about black colors
@@originsandcivilizations3983 The ancient Egyptians were purely Hamitic, there was no Mediterranean component in the ancient Egyptian population whatsoever What Carleton S.C**n and scholars like him were attempting to do was attribute Egyptian civilization as having been the achievement of Caucasians, because the predominant view of the time, and still is somewhat, was that blacks were incapable of having built an advanced civilization comparable to Greeks and Romans in Europe. However, like I tell everyone, genome analysis is of no use when studying ethnography or cultural phenomena, and the ancient Egyptian culture was inherently African. Ethnographers study the psychological and social behaviors of particular groups of people, but can also compare cultures to determine whether or not they have a common origin. Ancient Egyptians, many of their customs, beliefs, and traditions are analogous to those of people further south of Egypt, sub-Saharan Africa basically. Many ancient Egyptian headdresses for example, like the _Atef_ crown which was ornate with ostrich feathers is similar to many of the headdresses worn by African peoples of the Great Lakes region like the Luluaba people of lake Tanganyika, or the Maasai. Children were given special hairstyles in ancient Egypt, symbolic of their youth. In much of east Africa young African children are given similar hairstyles, the Tuareg, Agau, Afar, Hororo, and Maasai are just a few of the tribes that have preserved this custom. Material culture in ancient Egypt is also very similar to material culture in sub-Saharan Africa, headrest _(weres)_ as the Egyptians called it was used as an amulet or a pillow: similar objects are known to the Turkana, and people of the Great Lakes region, not ancient Mediterranean or Indo-European peoples. Beliefs in more than one soul, or multiple souls is something both the ancient Egyptians and sub-Saharan Africans have in common. The Egyptians believed every man had a Ba, Ka, Shadow _(swt),_ Ren, heart-soul _(jb),_ etc. Similar ideas and beliefs have been acknowledged to be held by many sub-Saharan African peoples, according to Ethnographers like Emil Torday and Thomas Athol Joyce, and Scholars like E.A.Wallis Budge. Paul Schebesta according to C.G.Seligman studied the pygmies of the Ituri forest, the pygmies veneration of totem animals, believed to be ancestors, was a belief of Predynastic Egyptians as well. Historian Odd Arne Westad on p.61 Penguin Classics History of the World, on the Ancient Egyptians. _"They lived in villages grouped around market centers, and seemed to have had animals as symbols or totems: these they copied on their pottery."_ Culturally nothing seems to trace the Egyptians back to the ancient Near East or the Mediterranean. Unless you have proof to the contrary, their biological origins more than likely started in sub-Saharan African.
Thanks Hamid. I'm not an ancient Egyptian specialist. But I don't think the term Pharaonic or Hieroglyphic is the accurate term. Based on my knowledge, it should be Ancient Egyptian words or expressions. Hieroglyphic and Demotic are just writing forms in Ancient Egyptian language, not the language itself. Regards
Yes Nile, you are totally right and I will correct this in my coming videos. I will always use the term 'Ancient Egyptian' to refer to the language - great feedback, thanks a lot :D
@@Linguamid why even call it Egyptian if they called it Kemet? Also Bantu languages are all directly related to Arabic, and Kemetian. Not just a couple words. Thousands of words. I can tell you’re sincere but that doesn’t make you well studied or completely correct.
Interestin we in Afghanistan use Nono for baby when warnba older child to not harm him like be careful he is nono similarly ببو used instead of بعبع to scare a child not to cry or do unwanted action
Haha...count Turkish too cause in Turkish we say “tay tay” to encourage toddlers to stand up and walk. So you are not the only one having ancient Egyptian word in your native language.
One correction my friend. The word ΦΟΒΟΣ has its roots in protohellenic wich is around 3000bc and the root ΦΑ= FA is directly linked withe word ΦΑΟΣ(FAOS)-ΦΩΣ(FOS) = light hence the word ΦΑΡΟΣ(FAROS) =lighthouse (the A and the long O= ΩΜΕΓΑ O with open ends hence a longer vowel shortenting the word FAOS to FOS albeit with a longer pronounciation of the letter O) . So it is extremely unlikely to link bobos with fovos . Every ancient greek word has a meaning that derives its root from the syllables and the connecting words. So that is a mistake there most likely or misinformation. Otherwise the video is extremely interesting and it is nice that old egyptians words continue to this day.
Somali have the closest linguistics to Egyptian closer to it then Egyptian Coptic or anything as well as it being 3000 older then Arabic n is older then hebrew Aramaic etc n in fact even the word pharaoh in the wuran is firoun which is two words fir and oun the great house and of the everlasting in somali why would the wuran gods book use a Somali group of words to say phaorah ? When it corrected the bible instead of using the word pharaoh in pharaonic times in Egypt it used king which was accurate and pharaonic when it was pharaonic clearly show its origin
a lot of this is just coincidental sounds. other than that, to say that you use an ancient word means that you belong to an ancient population is false. we americans use a lot of latin and spanish and other words but it doesnt make us native. but btw my half Egyptian daughter used to say emboo. she got it from her mother
I agree with you - most Egyptians are not 'Pure Egyptians' but many ancient Egyptian words were transferred among generations regardless - some even preserved their entity, like emboo and tata
Thank you first of all But there is an objection as That's not Arabic ( understanding of the grown-up peoolwatching Eg drama & movies not related as it's a different story ) It's the modern Egyptian langague & it's a total independent lanangue which has its own grammar that is totally very far of Arabic. The lexical similarity between both not because Arabic gives to Eg only but initially in old times before New original Eg gives lots to Ar lanagague in 1- old trade 2- expansion of Tohtmos III togther with writing scripts & alphapete 3- the exudos of Hyksos that part went to Peninsula 5- the exudos of sons of Israel going to Levant before the creation of Hebrew lanagague and the langague gotten from Egypt contributes in both new born Hebrew & that branch of Arabic lanagague combined with other lines later on Plus some other routes in old times + newer ( large topic to explain in here. Between modern Egyptian & Arabic there is something internationally known as ( the big range of common vocabulary) which is existing already in vocabulary lexal similarity in a higher ratio than our case in middle east such as ( German - Dutch 84% ) ( urdu - Indian 100% ) ( Dari - Farsi 90% ) and so so many And the you can say it's a very common concept across the lanagagues. Why it's not a dialect ? 1- all the vocabulary of Egyptian lanaggue can't be used in official Arabic writing ( unless it's given in early centuries of combination. Such as ( esma3 ( eg ) yasma3 ( Ar ) - eshma3 ( Hebrew ) ) 2- It has the same or closer structure of original Egyptian lanague 3- Sounds ( vowels and consonants ) of Egyptian lanaggues are ( 31 ) aside of sounds in Arabic not pronounced in modern Eg . Which are ( 5 )( all of them are consonants ) Even Arabic alphate can't express exactly the sounds of Egyptians langagues ( all in vowels ) Which needs it's own alphapete. Thank you
