Middle Egyptian is the typical form of Egyptian written from 2000 BC to 1300 BC (after Old Egyptian and before Late Egyptian). In writing it makes use of around 900 hieroglyphs.Although evolving into Late Egyptian from the 14th century BC Middle Egyptian 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.
