Egyptian had developed into Demotic by around 600 BC (darn typos...), yet we know from documents produced by Joseph Smith and/or his circle that this is not what they were dealing with in the supposed "Reformed Egyptian" documents he claimed to possess (see, e.g., the infamous "Caractors" document/Anthon transcript, below).
