A quick google search seems to imply that "Modern Egyptian" is not exactly a conlang. Rather, it seems to be a transliteration of Coptic to the latin alphabet. This is all based on the only relevant google hit for "modern egyptian language", so "Prince of Egypt" should feel free to enlighten us if this is incorrect.
Coptic has a perfectly good ISO 639 language code, 'cop', and is in no way at all "a new conlang".
What I think it's funny is that Prince still keeps it secret what kind of language he means. He could write a wikipedia article about it, or point us to one. Name an official ISO or whatever (official, registered) code. I believe that'd be a pretty obvious way to help us to decide.
