Meroitic glyphs

TM Language id: 43

Language family and branch: Nilo-Saharan?, Eastern Sudanic?

Link(s): Glottolog, Wikipedia (language), Wikipedia (script)

Meroitic is the name of a language that has been tentatively placed in the Eastern Sudanic Nilo-Saharan family, and that was written in either a cursive alphabet inspired by Egyptian Demotic or an iconic monumental alphabet based on hieroglyphic.

Trismegistos should have almost all Meroitic inscriptions based on Leclant, Répertoire d'épigraphie méroïtique (2000), both hieroglyphic and cursive inscriptions. There seems to be no database for Meroitic at present.
