Kamitic Dictionary

If you have spent any time around my family, you have probably noticed that we often use words that are not in the English dictionary. That’s because we also speak in the Kamitic (Ancient Egyptian) language. The Kamitic language is a very metaphorical language and when translated into English can have multiple meanings. Here are the most popular words we use.
