Egyptological pronunciation[edit]The conventional modern Egyptological pronunciation does not reflect any actual historical pronunciation, but is directly derived from the written representation of Egyptian by a series of arbitrary conventions. The consonants of Egyptian are given the values listed in the table above under ‘Egyptological pronunciation’; as shown, some of them are pronounced as vowels, following abandoned 19th-century ideas about the historical Egyptian pronunciation. ⟨w⟩ is generally rendered/uː/, but root-initially (and exceptionally elsewhere) many Egyptologists instead pronounce it as/w/. Some speakers add a glottal stop in various places, such as before pronominal suffixes and between identical vowels. An epenthetic vowel/ɛ/ is inserted as needed to break up consonant clusters, so that no more than one consonant in a row starts or ends each word, and no more than two consonants appear sequentially within a word. The causative prefixs- and all-w suffixes (and, optionally, the feminine suffix-t) are ignored when determining where to insert/ɛ/ in the rest of the word. Words consisting of only a single consonant have/ɛ/ added before them if the consonant is a sonorant; otherwise,/ɛ/ is added after them. An/ɛ/ can also be added to separate two identical consonants. In words containing a reduplication, the two reduplicated parts are pronounced identically and no/ɛ/ intervenes between them. Exceptions to these conventions are rare; a significant one is thatꜥnḫ is pronounced/ɑːnx/ instead of the expected/ɑːnɛx/. - Loprieno, Antonio (1995),Ancient Egyptian: A Linguistic Introduction, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press,→ISBN

Certain Egyptian writings suggest that the loss of-n could already have taken place by the New Kingdom, as was the case for most other consonantal losses. However, the place nameḥw.t-nn-nzw (writtenḫi-ni-in-ši in Neo-Assyrian transcription, 7th century BC) lost its secondn as late as the mid of the 1st millennium BC (written ανυσις by Herodotos, Copticsϩⲛⲏⲥ) (cf. Peust 1992: i23f.).

- ^Peust describes this rule but rejects it, suggesting as an alternative explanation that the stressed vowel in fact simply follows /ʀ/ in these cases. Other authors, however, broadly accept it. The question bears further investigation. SeePeust, Carsten (1999),Egyptian Phonology: An Introduction to the Phonology of a Dead Language[30], Göttingen: Peust und Gutschmidt Verlag GbR, page187.
- ^Peust provides examples that show that words were generally unchanged in the Middle Kingdom and first show changes starting with Late Egyptian; since the loss of/ʀ/ preceded the start of Late Egyptian, this loss provides aterminus ante quem.

Most instances of the phoneme written as ⟨ꜣ⟩ merged with /j/ after the Middle Kingdom, and it thus lost its liquid character […] the sound written ⟨ꜣ⟩ had already merged with ⟨j⟩ by the New Kingdom […] ⟨ꜣ⟩, originally a liquid /r/, had completely conflated with ⟨j⟩ by the New Kingdom at the latest (cf. Westendorf 1962: §22).

Both classes of stops were distinguished strictly until about 1000BC. There is no confusion between written ⟨k⟩ and ⟨q⟩/⟨g⟩ until the New Kingdom. This also holds true for the palatals ⟨ṯ⟩ — ⟨ḏ⟩ and dentals ⟨t⟩ — ⟨d⟩. Only as concerns the distinction of ⟨p⟩ and ⟨b⟩, cases of confusion can already be observed in the New (or perhaps even Middle) Kingdom (cf. Ward 1975). After the New Kingdom, confusion between both series of stops becomes very frequent in Egyptian writing. […] Immediately following Dynasty 20, much confusion arises in writing velar stops, and it is unclear how graphemes and phonemes relate at that time.

Loan words from Semitic which were adopted with velar stops during the New Kingdom usually appear with palatals in Coptic. Even some more recent loan words are affected […] The transcriptions into Semitic scripts from the 1st millennium BC (as well as earlier) do not show any sign of palatalization […] The first indications of palatalization are found in Greek transcriptions […] Therefore Albright (1946b: 317) is probably right in attributing this palatalization to a time not prior to the 4th century BC.

The chronology of the elements reflecting the dialectal diaglossa/o (cf.ḫt) and the lambdacism in anthroponyms in transcription show that there is no solid evidence for the Fayumic dialect before the first century AD. In the Ptolemaic period only theo variants are generally found, as in Sahidic and Bohairic, the two dialects spoken around the Fayum. In the first century AD, Fayumic starts to emerge and seems to develop in the second and third centuries AD. The variants with α for the terms containing the diaglossa/o are consequently improbable for the Ptolemaic period in the Fayum.
