| A Meroitic inscription |
So for this blog post I was determined to find some further information on the written language of Kush (Meroitic). I scoured the web, and I spent a good chunk of time in the library poring over titles on African linguistics and literature. It's safe to say that I came out of that experience a lot more confused than when I went in. I found NOTHING about further research on the Kushite language, and I could hardly find anything on Ancient African languages at all! I did however find plenty of sources analyzing the language families, ancestral connections, and literature of modern day Africa. I didn't spend a whole lot of time looking through those because that's not in the prescribed time period for this course, but I did learn a few interesting things...
