Demotic refers to both the ancient Egyptian script derived from northern forms of hieratic used in the Delta, as well as the stage of the Egyptian language following Late Egyptian and preceding Coptic. By convention, the word "Demotic" is captialized in order to distinguish it from Demotic Greek. It should be noted that "Demotic Egyptian" is an artificial term used only on Wikipedia for purposes of clarity; it is not a term used by Demotists or Egyptologists, who refer only to "Demotic." ...more on Wikipedia about "Demotic Egyptian" www.shortopedia.com moments. shortopedia

Regarding morphology, Egyptian uses the so-called status constructus construction to combine two or more nouns, more or less like any Semitic language. With this construction, the first noun is sometimes changed - e.g. final -h in feminine nouns becomes -t. Example: mlkt shba "The Queen of Saba", the original form of mlkt being mlkh. The early stages of Egyptian possessed no articles, no words for "the" or "a"; later forms used the words /p3/, /t3/ and /n3/ for this purpose (where 3 represents a glottal stop.) Egyptian uses two grammatical genders, masculine and feminine, similarly to Romance languages and Irish Gaelic; it also uses three grammatical numbers: like many other Afro-Asiatic languages, it contrasts singular, dual and plural forms. When saying something like "the man is red", the word "red" (dSrt in Egyptian) acts as a predicative verb. ...more on Wikipedia about "Egyptian language"
