Reformed Egyptian

The Book of Mormon, a work of scripture of the Latter Day Saint movement, is described by both itself and Joseph Smith, the founder of the movement, as having originally been written in the Reformed Egyptian characters.

Scholarly reference works on languages do not acknowledge the existence of either a "reformed Egyptian" language or "reformed Egyptian" script as it was described by Joseph Smith. There is no archaeological, linguistic, or other evidence of the use of Egyptian writing in the ancient Americas.
