Bayoumi Andil (Arabic: بيومي قنديل) (born 31 July 1942 in Monufia, Egypt Died 8th of October) is an Egyptian linguist, thinker and writer who authored many books on Egyptian
culutre and Modern Egyptian language.
In his most important book (The present State of Culture in Egypt), he points out that Egyptians have attempted to change their national identity and language as well as their national religion when they embraced Christianity in the first century AD and again after the Arab conquest of Egypt in 641 AD. He claims that Egyptians have Egyptianized both Christianity and Islam. He argues that the true Egyptian spirit survived only in the oral culture of the illiterate Egyptians, whose illiteracy has protected them and their national identity from annihilation. Andil also published many articles and books, in which he assumed that Modern Egyptian language is nothing but the fourth stage of the languages of the Egyptians, and should not be really considered a variety of Arabic, but rather a daughter of the Coptic language and the great grand daughter of the Ancient Egyptian language. The grammatical, morphological and phonological differences between the spoken Egyptian language and the Arabic language is sufficiently deep to categorize them in two different groups, and the similarities between the first and its Egyptian ancestors, both Coptic and Ancient Egyptian, are strong enough to consider the Modern Egyptian Language an evolution of the Ancient Egyptian.
Andil has been in favor of Egypt's affirmation of its own unique national identity. He is one of the most renowned researchers and linguists on the topic of Modern Egyptian Language, whose relationship to the Arabic language he considers "irrelevant".
