The Meroitic script was used by the Kushites of the Nile Valley. In this book we explain that the cognate language of Meroitic was the Kushana or Tocharian language used by Buddhists to write their scriptures. Due to identification of the Meroitic language we can now read Meroitic and illustrates that it compares favorably to other languages spoken in the Sudan."In this book We will be discussing my decipherment of the Meroitic language. I have deciphered Meroitic based on the most logical path to the decipherment of any dead language. Maurice Pope (1975) , made it clear that before a dead language can be deciphered you most have the right theoretical structure to base your inquiry upon (p.191). There were three preliminary conditions that must be met before any decipherment: 1) confidence that a script can be deciphered; 2) location of proper names must be determined; the grammatical rules of the target language must be known. 
 Conditions #1 and #2 were met by Griffith when he deciphered the Meroitic script in 1910, and his discovery of the proper names of the Meroitic gods and individuals in the Meroitic text."
