This book details advances in the understanding of Meroitic, a language that until recently was considered untranslatable. In addition to providing a full history of the script and an analysis of the phonology, grammar, and linguistic affiliation of the language it features: linguistic analyses for those working on Nilo-Saharan comparative linguistics, paleographic tables useful to archeologists for dating purposes, and an overview of texts that can be translated or understood by way of analogy for those working on Nubian religion, history, and archaeology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claude Rilly, Alex de Voogt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107008662\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107008663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Claude Rilly","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45476940447999,"sku":"9781107008663","price":133.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f2e210c-9c92-48f8-a3cd-bc9a404830e9.jpg?v=1715918601","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-meroitic-language-and-writing-claude-rilly-9781107008663","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
