Appendix:Egyptian pronunciation

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Shortcut:
AP:pron:egy

The historical pronunciation of Egyptian underwent numerous significant changes over the course of several millennia. The pronunciation of the earlier stages can be reconstructed on the basis of a variety of evidence, such as the pronunciation of Coptic (and comparison between its dialects), transcriptions and loanwords (both to and from other languages), changing orthographic usage and internal evidence, and, most controversially, comparative Afroasiatic evidence. Because the work of reconstructing earlier Egyptian phonology only began to gather steam recently, in the second half of the 20th century, and because some aspects of it remain under debate, Egyptologists traditionally use a conventional ‘Egyptological pronunciation’ that is not intended to reflect any actual historical pronunciation for the sake of convenience.

Wiktionary includes, if possible, both the reconstructed historical pronunciation (according to the prevailing scholarly view) and the modern conventional Egyptological pronunciation. Because of the long-term changes in the language’s historical pronunciation, it is necessary to approach it from a diachronic perspective and select particular stages to include. Below, the changes in the pronunciation of the language over time are detailed, and the stages included by default are highlighted: Old Egyptian, c. 2500 BCE; Middle Egyptian, c. 1700 BCE; Amarna-period Late Egyptian, c. 1350 BCE; and latest Late Egyptian, c. 800 BCE. Following this, explanations are given of the conventions used for representing Egyptian pronunciation at Wiktionary.

Sound changes

[edit]

The large table in this section shows a possible sequence of sound changes leading from Old Egyptian to Coptic with example vocabulary items. The phonological values and history given here broadly follow the reconstruction paradigm of Fecht, Osing, Schenkel, and Loprieno, but draw from the other works given in the references (especially Peust) to revise and clarify some details. Details are generally much less clear for earlier periods than for later periods. Highlighted rows indicate the forms typically given as reconstructions for each stage of the language in Wiktionary entries. When the Coptic dialects break apart, the vocabulary items follow the path of Bohairic Coptic.

The more speculative early phonological history proposed by some followers of the neuere Komparatistik school has largely been excluded, as it relies heavily on debated Afroasiatic correspondences and other uncertain evidence, and as it is far from clear whether such phonological changes, if they took place, happened within the historical period at all. The tendency to try to force Proto-Egyptian consonants into a ‘neat’ phonological system has especially been avoided where other evidence is lacking.

Symbols used:

  • _ stands for the position of the phoneme in the phonetic environment
  • / _ everywhere (in all phonetic environments)
  • # word boundary
  • + morpheme boundary
  • $ syllable boundary
  • V vowel
  • V̀ unstressed vowel
  • V́ stressed vowel
  • C consonant
  • Cʰ aspirated consonant
  • [...] any one of the enclosed phonemes
  • (...) encloses optional elements
  • ∅ null (e.g. phoneme deleted; not to be confused with ø)
  • A, B, F, L, M, S sigla specifying a Coptic or pre-Coptic dialect in which the change occurred

The aspirable and ejective series may alternatively be an aspirated and plain voiceless series, respectively; both interpretations are held by numerous scholars. However, typological considerations argue strongly against the latter interpretation.[1]

The actual phonetic values of /z/ and /ʀ/ are extremely unclear. Recent suggestions for the value of the former include /z, t͡s, sʼ, θ/, etc.; the latter, /ʀ, r, l, ɫ, ʎ/, etc.

The phonemic representation of /kʼ/ ⟨g⟩, /qʼ/ ⟨q⟩, /ç/ ⟨ẖ⟩, and /χ/ ⟨ḫ⟩ is purely conventional. In truth, /kʼ/ ⟨g⟩ and /qʼ/ ⟨q⟩ probably share the same place of articulation (velar?) and are distinguished by some unknown feature, and possibly both may be expressed as labiovelars in certain environments. The details remain unclear. Similarly, /ç/ ⟨ẖ⟩ and /χ/ ⟨ḫ⟩ may in fact both be velar or uvular fricatives distinguished by some unknown feature; only the Old Kingdom palatalization of /ç/ in certain cases points to a possible more forward articulation.

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 prefix s- 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 that ꜥnḫ is pronounced /ɑːnx/ instead of the expected /ɑːnɛx/.

    Writings with m first appear in the Middle Kingdom and more regularly in the New Kingdom. We conclude that the sound change took place approximately at the time of the Middle Kingdom, but historical orthography conserved the older writing ⟨nw⟩ for a while, especially in the divine name rnn-wt.t. 2) The sound change took place before w was lost according to the rules discussed in § 3.14.2.7.

    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 name ḥw.t-nn-nzw (written ḫi-ni-in-ši in Neo-Assyrian transcription, 7th century BC) lost its second n as late as the mid of the 1st millennium BC (written ανυσις by Herodotos, Coptic sϩⲛⲏⲥ) (cf. Peust 1992: i23f.).

  40. ^ 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. See Peust, Carsten (1999) Egyptian Phonology: An Introduction to the Phonology of a Dead Language‎[30], Göttingen: Peust und Gutschmidt Verlag GbR, page 187.
  41. ^ 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 a terminus 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.

[…] To a much lesser degree, some of these effects can be observed as early as in the Old Kingdom (Edel 1955/64: I, §§ 43-45).

    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 diagloss a/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 the o 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 diagloss a/o are consequently improbable for the Ptolemaic period in the Fayum.
