Best Answer

People do not "come up with" a language. Language evolves over time, generally from a more ancient parent language. In the case of the ancient Egyptian language it is distantly related to ancient Arabic, Assyrian, Hebrew, Phoenician, Berber and Tuareg and they all probably evolved from a single much more ancient parent language.

The ancient Egyptian language was written in hieroglyphs which did not record any vowels (exactly as in ancient Arabic, Hebrew and Phoenician); it has many verbs and other words which are made up of three consonants, exactly as in Hebrew and Arabic. For example the group htp means satisfied or content; inx means life or living; xpr means to become; nfr means good.

Who worshipped osiris?

I guess you could call mummification a worship of some sort (i did a report on this subject once, if you have any more questions in that manner), and i'm sure the Egyptians prayed, and had murals made of him. He is the god of the afterlife, so maybe you could come up with some more things. :)
