Old Kingdom of Egypt
The Egyptian language (Egyptian: "𓂋𓏺𓈖 𓆎𓅓𓏏𓊖", , Coptic: ) is an Afro-Asiatic language which was spoken in ancient Egypt. Its attestation stretches over an extraordinarily long time, from the Old Egyptian stage (mid-4th millennium BC, Old Kingdom of Egypt). Its earliest known complete written sentence has been dated to about 2690 BC, which makes it one of the oldest recorded languages known, along with Sumerian.
