The language of Kush primarily refers to the Meroitic language, which was spoken in the Kingdom of Kush located in present-day Sudan. Meroitic has two known scripts: hieroglyphic and cursive, and it is one of the earliest written languages in sub-Saharan Africa. The language is largely undeciphered, but it shows influences from Egyptian and other neighboring cultures. Meroitic was used primarily for religious and administrative purposes until the decline of the Kingdom of Kush around the 4th century AD.
