Note
A regular plural that belongs to the noun alone. The adjective never takes the -s, so it is Egyptian pyramids, not Egyptians pyramids. The ancient language is simply Egyptian and has no plural. In dated writing the word can also mean gypsies, an older use of the singular noun carried into the plural. In an old text, context decides whether people of Egypt are meant.
