No problem! Glad to help out!--unfortunately I don't know any Meroitic...it's a cool language though, from what I hear. If you have a ton of time, there's this grammar that people really like: https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/the-meroitic-language-and-writing-system/D1534C93DCCA955D82E0594CE92598FC @Sundiata I'm having trouble figuring out what language you used for the ethnonyms in your unit translations? Are they (ie: Noba etc...) from the Egyptian, Meroitic, or Greek? Also it would be really cool to see if the names could appear in hieroglyphs (see my previous attached file). I'm happy to type them up, if there is support for the hieroglyph section of unicode in the game's fonts. Off the top of my head, here are those phrases for the recordings: For the IPA (not sure if you're familiar with it), the apostrophe (') means the syllable after it is stressed, and the colon (:) means the vowel is long (like the difference between the Greek epsilon and eta). The other symbols can be looked up on wikipedia (and usually have nice sound clips) Late Egyptian IPA What is it? Ya-merak iḫ? ja'merak ix My lord? Payi Neb? pa:'ji: neb I will walk Tu-i r ḫantaš tu: i: r 'xantaʃ I will go out against them Tu-i r šem r-šoʿ-san tu: i: r ʃem r 'ʃo:ʕsan I will build Tu-i r qode tu: i: r 'qo:de I will work land [lit.

Hi! I know some Egyptian and can type the diacritics (and also the unicode hieroglyphs, although this forum thinks they're emojis and won't let me add them) I've done my best to vocalize them so they're kind of pronounceable (if you're going to record them?) Here they are... I can do more later, if you guys want me to: Structures: Barracks : per-mešʿayu (house of soldiers) Blacksmith : ḥemu ḫʿay-n-ro‘a (weapon smith)　 Civil Centre : Per-nesu (palace, royal residence)　 Corral : Iḥy(stall)　 Defense Tower : Ṯesmet ʿo (great battlement)　 Dock : Meriyet (harbour)　 Farmstead : Šenut (granary)　 Field : Seḫet (field, countryside)　 Fortress : Ḫetem (fortress, stronghold)　 House : Per (house)　 Market : Per-Sebet (house of exchange)　 Outpost : Terter (counterwork)　 Pyramid large : Merwer (great pyramid) Pyramid small : Mer (pyramid)　 Sentry Tower : Ṯesmet (battlement)　 Storehouse : Weḏot (storehouse)　 Temple Amun : Per-‘Amun (house of Amun)　 Temple Apedemak: Per-‘Apedemak (house of Apedemak)　 Wall Gate : Ruwiyet (gate, door)　 Wall : Sebty (wall, fortress, stronghold)　 Wall Tower : Sowut (battlement, wall)　 Wonder : Menu Naḫt (mighty monument)　 Pronunciation Guide š -- English "sh" ḥ -- heavy h, same sound as Arabic: ح; https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b2/Voiceless_pharyngeal_fricative.ogg ẖ and ḫ -- kh like the ch in Bach (these were two separate sounds earlier in Egyptian history--later were pronounced the same) ʿ -- pharyngeal sound, Arabic ʿayin, https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cd/Voiced_pharyngeal_fricative.ogg -- it's like the heavy h but voiced, if it is too hard to say, it is thought that the sound became a glottal stop, like the sound after uh in uh-oh, after the Egyptian New Kingdom... ' (regular apostrophe) -- glottal stop (before a in 'Amun, also in 'Apedemak) ṯ -- like English ch, also can be written tj ḏ -- like the G in giraffe, can also be written dj EDIT: i've attached the unicode hierolgyphs...it would be really cool to see them implemented in the game (both for the Kushites and the Ptolemies!) kushitebuildings.pdf
