This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

Egypt was one of the Geography and places good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

Ignored Linear B, A name

The article only mentions the supposed origin for copt (it seems to have been originally for a cat), however the older attestation for Misr in that text from the same region is ignored a Linear B tablet also has Misr in it. d mi-sa-ra-jo (Misraios, also etymologically ‘man of Egypt’ [MiÒr] (KN F 841.4) (cf. SHELMERDINE 2008, §5.4.2.2, BENNET, J. 1985, The Structure of the Linear B Administration at Knossos, AJA 89, 231-49), not to mention it is likely older "(misr), more commonly found in Akkadian and Ugaritic documents from Syro-Palestine and Mesopotamia (Cline 1993: 18). Mis-sa-ra-jo appears on Knossos tablet KN F 841+867, possibly used as a man’s name, which Cline believes was meant to be pronounced as Misraios (Cline 1994: 128).

And undounbtedly older still its attestation as Misr in Linear A (CH # 333, A1) (Best & Woudhuizen 1988: 50-51; most recently and comprehensively Achterberge.a. 2004: 104; Landau 1958: 270. Cf. Luwian hieroglyphic Mizra “Egypt” (Karkamis A6, § 4), see Woudhuizen 2015a: 280 and the composite personal name Mizramuwas) in the oldest dated Minoan Tablet.

Arabic

Adam — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:CB80:4077:E8BE:6CF9:7A4E:795E:1492 (talk) 14:27, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dialects

Hello,

would it be possible to include the specific dialects of Arabic spoken in Egypt? Perhaps after the sentence “Islam is the official religion of Egypt and Arabic is its official language” we can include Massry, Bedawi, and Saidi?

WikiAmerican1 (talk) 03:30, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. As for what is spoken by the people, it's by far Masry (68%), then Upper Egyptian. Bedawi isn't even 1%, English is more spoken than it. So the term Arabic is indeed the correct collective term. 156.181.27.211 (talk) 11:24, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, that’s good to know! Should that be included that the most spoken dialect is Masry/Masri? WikiAmerican1 (talk) 12:58, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitrary alteration of dating style without consensus

I notice that the dating style used on this page was altered in the last few years from BC/AD, which is the format the page has used since its inception, to the BCE/CE style. WP: MOS states that this should not be changed needlessly. I would revert this back myself however as the page has extended protection I am unable to do so.
