Ancient languages

Have you ever thought about the dead languages that are no longer used? Like akkadian and egyptian (hieroglyphs) and the like. Well I happen to have this curiosity , and after a search on the internet I came upon this link : http://www.lexicity.com/ . It contains resources for such languages that seem to us to be dead and buried.

I also found videos of a guy who speaks Phoenician! Really interesting. I recommend checking them out.

Regards.

Ahmed, if you're serious about learning Egyptian, resources are quite numerous. Consider purchasing a text, such as James Hoch's Middle Egyptian Grammar and joining a Study Group such as Glyph Study (https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/GlyphStudy/info).

This will teach you Middle Egyptian, which is what you almost certainly meant by "Old Egyptian". If you can read German, it is still possible to study Old Egyptian (the archaic form of Middle Egyptian, the classical Ancient Egyptian language) in Elmar Edel's Altägyptische Grammatik.

Very cool website! I find Koine Greek to be an interesting ancient language.

That is not impossible , you can find on the net videos of people who read Egyptian (might take a bit of search , though)

There is a scene in the movie Tombstone, where two characters talk to each other in Latin.  It renews my desire to actually speak Latin every time I hear that.  Also I wish I knew what Ancient Egyptian heiroglyphic language sounded like when spoken.  It would be cool to speak it.
