Where did the Egyptian language come from?

"...The Afrasan language famiy...originated in Africa, in the regions between the Nubian Nile and the northern Ethiopian Highlands...and [moved] northward up the Nile...The arrival along the lower Nile of the ancient Egyptian language, a member of the Afrasan family, ultimately traces back to these northward movements."

--Christopher Ehret, The Civilizations of Africa, 3002, p. 38-39
