Egypt language has three different classes of personal pronouns. There are suffix, independent and dependent pronouns, which can be a number of verbal endings, added to the infinitive to the stative form and are noted by some linguists as a «fourth» set of personal pronouns. They bear close similarity to their Semitic languages. Look on the follow table, where personal pronouns with singular and plural groups are shown:
| Suffix | Dependent | Independent | |
| 1st sg. | -ı͗ | wı͗ | ı͗nk |
| 2nd sg. m. | -k | tw | ntk |
| 2nd sg. f. | -t | tn | ntt |
| 3rd sg. m. | -f | sw | ntf |
| 3rd sg. f. | -s | sy | nts |
| 1st pl. | -n | n | ı͗nn |
| 2nd pl. | -tn | tn | nttn |
| 3rd pl. | -sn | sn | ntsn |
The table of demonstrative pronouns with feminine and masculine and feminine singular forms and common plural forms for both genders:
| Mas. | Fem. | Plu. | Meaning |
| pn | tn | nn | this, that, these, those |
| pf | tf | nf | that, those |
| pw | tw | nw | this, that, these, those (archaic) |
| pꜣ | tꜣ | nꜣ | this, that, these, those (colloquial [earlier] & Late Egyptian) |
Finally are interrogative pronouns. They bear a close similarity to their Semitic languages:
