Coptic or Coptic Egyptian (ⲘⲉⲧⲢⲉⲙ̀ⲛⲭⲏⲙⲓ Met Remenkēmi) is the current stage of the Egyptian language, a northern Afro-Asiatic
language spoken in Egypt until at least the 17th century. Egyptian began to be written using the Greek alphabet in the 1st
century. The new writing system became the Coptic script, an adapted Greek alphabet with the addition of six or seven signs
from the demotic script to represent Egyptian sounds the Greek language did not have. Several distinct Coptic dialects are
identified, the most prominent of which are Sahidic and Bohairic. Coptic and Demotic Egyptian are grammatically closely akin
to Late Egyptian, which was written in the Hieroglyphic script. Coptic flourished as a literary language from the 2nd to 13th
centuries, and its Bohairic dialect continues to be the liturgical language of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. It
was supplanted by Egyptian Arabic as a spoken language toward the early modern period, though revitalization efforts have
been underway since the 19th century. |
