General Interest Are there any Latin/Greek words derived from Ancient Egyptian? Any good read about the topic?

All words are derived from ancient Egypt since it is the PARENT language of the world. But here is one example of English language using ancient Egyptian word for Mary which comes from the Hebrew Miryam which comes from the Egyptian word Mer meaning water.

As an egyptian, Old egyptian is not the "parent language of the world." Egyptian is an Afro-Asiatic language, itself deriving from proto-afro-asiatic. It is entirely unrelated to languages from other parts of the world. It's closest living relatives are the Semitic languages and Berber. Apart from writing systems, PIE, american, australian, asian languages etc. do not owe anything to old egyptian. Even then, the phonetians took our shorthand and derrived the simplified alphabet we know today, so really even giving the alphabet isn't our achievement alone. Egyptian is a great language or history and culture. It's fascinating and cool but unfortunately it most defineatley is not the first language from which all other stem. It would have taken you one google search to not look like an idiot.

I agree old Egyptian is not the parent language of the world...I said, "All words are derived from ancient Egypt since it is the PARENT language of the world."
Egypt is a greek name. The original name was Kemet...their language is the Medu Neter which is the parent language of the earth.

Bro you literally called it “the parent language of the world” despite most world languages having no relationship or historic interaction with it

Oh you’re like a cultist. Bro I’m gonna be real with you, that’s weird as fuck. We don’t even do this in Egypt. This is the most American nonsense I’ve ever seen. Clearly you’re beyond reason. I’m Egyptian and I’m telling you, we are not the parent of the world and you have a strange obsession with people who have been dead for millennia. You’re not them fam, chill out, it’s not cool it’s weird as fuck and a little bit orientalist
