Hieratic
The Hieratic Language also known as Ancient Kemitian, was used between roughly -4000 and -1000 IR. It can be broken down between the verbal (Ancient Khemitian) and written component (Hieratic Script).
Ancient Kemitian was supposedly taught by gods to the people living in Libynos when they ruled over them. Hieratic Script itself is believed to from mimicing hieroglyphs, which is the written world of the gods. Though there is no evidence of direct translation, Hieratic script is iconic rather that syllabic. Symbols have multiple meanings depending on tribe and geopraphical location giving rise to multiple Ancient Kemitian dialects and thus the fracturing of Khemit into multiple Kingdoms after the Exodus of Gods. Hieratic script was mainly used in prayers and petitions to the gods. the rest of the world used a simple cunieform writing for bureaucratic documentation.
