2014, LingAeg 22

Abstract

The paper gives an overview of the Ancient Egyptian sources containing material for the study of the languages possibly spoken in Nubia in pharaonic times. It also evaluates the research done by Egyptologists in the past 40 years concerning the questions as to which languages were spoken by the Agroup and C-group as well as the Kerma people and tackles the problem whether remains of the Nubian language can be detected in Egyptian sources.
