Book Of Mormon Central

The Book of Mormon says that the Nephites wrote in Egyptian and Hebrew (Mormon 9:32-33), but these languages had been "altered" to the point that "none other people knoweth our language" (Mormon 9:34). New evidence linking the Uto-Aztecan language family (spoken primarily in western Mexico and the southwestern US) to Semitic and Egyptian languages may help us better understand how Nephite language changed over time.
