From archaeological data, Akhnaton lived a thousand years after

Joseph, during which time Egyptian language had been under many

outside influences of the sort that cause linguistic changes. Among

which was the Hyksos invasion after the Exodus. So the Egyptian

language may have had very different pronunciations during Joseph's

sojourn in Egypt.
