文字的創立是古代埃及人的最大成就。它使埃及在歷史的組成上成爲一個强有力的因素。最早的象形文始於第一王朝(公元前3300年),最晚的象形文則見於羅馬皇帝狄修斯(Decius)的時候(公元250年),這就是說象形文的使用時期曾長達約三四千年之久。在這漫長的許多世紀裏,與言語一樣,文字也在大大地發展。我們可以看出埃及言語的發展有下列幾個階段。
The creation of words is the greatest achievement of ancient Egyptians. It has made Egypt a powerful factor in the composition of history. The earliest pictograms began in the First Dynasty (3300 BC), and the later pictograms were found in the Roman emperor Decius (250 AD), which means that the pictorial period was as long as about Three or four thousand years. During these long, many centuries, language, like words, has also grown considerably. We can see that there are several stages in the development of Egyptian speech.
