MiddleEgyptian is the typical form of Egyptian language Egyptian written from 2000 BCE to 1300 BCE after Old Egyptian and before Late Egyptian . It consists of about 900 hieroglyphs. Although evolving into Late Egyptian from the 14th century, MiddleEgyptian remained in use as literary standard language until the 4th century AD. As such, it is the classical variant of Egyptian that historically attracted most attention from Egyptology . Whilst most MiddleEgyptian is seen written on monuments by Egyptian hieroglyphs Hieroglyphs , it is also written using a Cursive hieroglyphs cursive variant , and the related Hieratic . As it is usually the first and most used form of the Ancient Egyptian language , it is frequently incorrectly referred to simply as Hieroglyphics . Progress in the understanding of MiddleEgyptian is due to Adolf Erman and his Berlin school . Erman also published the first MiddleEgyptian grammar in 1894, surpassed in 1927 by Alan H. Gardiner s monumental work. From the mid 20th century, Egyptologists considered their understanding of MiddleEgyptian to be essentially complete, and began focussing on Old Egyptian, but debate on MiddleEgyptian grammar was revived by Hans Jakob Polotsky and his standard theory from 1944.
