Egyptian Dialect Spoken by Native Mesoamericans
"...the language of my father, which consists of the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians." (1 Nephi 1:2)

<< Elder Melvin J. Ballard, of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
"An Egyptian prince visiting" the ruins at Teotihuacán, Mexico stated the following to Elder Ballard;
"I am an Egyptian, born and reared of royal blood and educated in the best that my country affords. Without doubt these are Egyptian hieroglyphics which I read as history only too plain, but the problem puzzling me is that nowhere outside of my country have I heard as pure an Egyptian dialect as is spoken here by these, [Mesoamerican], natives."
