Ive attended both Syriac and Coptic churches in Sweden. The Syriac churches will mostly use Syriac with some Arabic but I haven't heard anything in Swedish from them. The Coptic churches will mostly use Arabic with hymns in both Coptic and Swedish.
great conversation , thanks a lot . there is something that bothers me about Identifying Egypt as the biblical Misraim and Attributing an egyptian origin for the name Moses ( Moses is an arabic name and you can deduce that in five minutes if you are fluent in arabic ) , huge portions of the bible are of mesopotamian origin : the script , most of prophets , lot of laws , stories and mytholoy , the talmud , onomastics ...etc . n.b: i Love Egypt soooo much , so dont get me wrong .
@@mohamedakachat3737 Moses is an Egyptian name.. meses as in Ra-meses thutmoses , meaning “child of”
@@AnkomaDjed and does that etymology make sense ? its like using "ben" or "bar" or "son of" as an name !!!a lot of scholars rejected it . his name is definitely arabic and means " best thing to have cut through" , Moses (pbuh) cut through the yam , cut the chains of his people , cut the sea in two , all his prophethood was about severing , and all that is contained in arabic root of his name.
@ no scholar would accept your etymology because it is chronologically invalid. Arabic did not exist when so called Moses did. The reason that the name is “child of” is because the author of the text encoded these references. The oldest form of Arabic inscription dates 8th century BCE. The 4th century Nabataean Aramaic script evolved into Arabic script. Again Moses’ story predates the Arabic language. Your hypothesis is pseudo-history.
@@AnkomaDjed please let me correct your info : 1- Arabic is oldest attested "semitic" language after Babylonian language . 2-the first script used for Arabic is 3800 years old called Mousnade script . 3-writing means little in dating languages , a language doesn't start by writing ( thats common sense ) a language can be used for millennia before being inscribed . 4-the story of Moses isnt that old (6th century bce max ) and im not talking history here but based on idioms and exegesis , historically Moses is a legend ( there is no historical proof of his existence until now anyway) . 5- the first Mention of Moses was in the 3rd century bce by greek writers , interestingly the name used by them was based on the arabic name Moussa not the hebrew name Moshé ) . 6- is that pseudo history enough ?
You must be a standup comedian Mohamed. You have conflated epigraphic south Arabian with Arabic, which are of different origins. In addition to this attempting to anachronistically label Musnad script as Arabic is intellectually dishonest. When taking the narrative of Moses in context it is set in Egypt and Moses was an adopted son of Pharaoh (hence “child of”) . I’m not sure where your inclination to revise history through Arabic centric lenses derives from, whether ignorance or malevolence… but it is not accurate.
maybe it could thought of as a dialect continuum like modern Dutch is technically a dialect of the continental Germanic language or Spanish and Italian being dialect of ancient vulgar spoken Latin

Why most religions come from the middle east can we say other contenent they were ignorence and don't know any thing
Every group of people around the world had a religion of their own. I think you are asking why so much of the world is practicing Islam or Christianity, both of which came from the Middle East. Christianity was adopted by the Roman Empire which the gave it a tremendous head start. Christianity believes everyone must be Christian and even today Christians are very aggressive in their missionary efforts. Islam believes everyone should ideally be a Muslim. Invading Muslim armies brought more and more countries to Islam. People of the Book were sometimes tolerated but others were usually forced to convert to Islam depending on the time period. Sometimes Christians and Jews were forced to convert to Islam in spite of their status as People of the Book. Islam and Christianity come from the Middle East because the Jews came from the Middle East. The Holy writings of the Jews, told about Abraham (Abraham) (Ibrahim), Moses (Moshe) (Musa), David (Daveed) (Daoud), and Solomon (Shlomo)(Suleiman). Jesus (Yeshu - Hebrew, Israeli) (Yeshua - Hebrew, Christian) (Isa - Arabic, Islam) was born, lived, and died a Jew. A new religion called Christianity was developed by the followers of Jesus. Islam built on the traditions of both Christianity and Islam. Jews were despised and persecuted after defeat by the Romans, exile, and the rise of Christianity and then Islam for much of the last two thousand years. Few people wanted to join a miserable hated religion. The Jews were in no position to proselytize. It became the tradition to initially turn away potential converts and accept only the most serious. The Jews taught that only Jews needed to practice Judaism and others had no one need to convert to Judaism. Perhaps you should why did Christians and Muslims borrowed so much from the Jews? Was it because they were ignorant and didn't know anything?

Lahim also exists in ge'ez though it is not used in this prayer.
Thank you. To my knowledge Kemet means black land in middle Egyptian. Αίγυπτος is Greek from Ha-Ka-Ptah = house of the Ka of Ptah. When Arabs invaded Egypt they referred to it by the Greek name Gibt ( no P in Arabic) then through the centuries became Copt. Name Egypt is from Greek directly. Misr is Arabic and simply means a country.
Good insights!
From this conversation, I now understand why the Coptic Church adopts the use of local languages in the diaspora. For Ethiopians living abroad, many individuals raised or born outside Ethiopia do not widely understand Ge’ez or Amharic, yet these languages are still used in liturgy and prayers. This language barrier has had a negative impact on church attendance in these communities. Additionally, many clergy view Ge’ez as a holy language which causes them to stick to it. I do not personally think one language is holier than the other. By the way, the debteras which practice witchcraft also use Geez. Wikipedia link on debteras: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debtera#Religio-magical_healing
It is important for cultural heritage to maintain the classical language. Also, many phrases and idioms are lost in translation. Geez script, apart from Egyptian hieroglyphs is the only indigenous African script from antiquity
@@AnkomaDjed Saving souls should always be a priority. Faith comes from hearing, but if people cannot understand the language, they may drift away from their belief. This often leads them to either adopt Protestantism, embrace atheism, or explore gnostic ideas.
Where did you get the the idea that Debtras practice witch craft?

EPHPHATHA: Ephphatha is an Aramaic (or Syriac) word found only once in the New Testament, in Mark 7:34. Mark also gives the meaning of the word: “be opened.” Jesus spoke this word when He healed a deaf man who also had a speech impediment. Jesus was traveling through the region of Decapolis when some people brought to Him a man “who was deaf and could hardly talk” (Mark 7:31). Jesus took the man aside, “away from the crowd,” and put His fingers into the man’s ears (verse 33). Then Jesus spit and touched the man’s tongue with the moisture. After touching the man’s ears and tongue, Jesus “looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, ‘Ephphatha!’” (Mark 7:34). The posture of prayer signified Jesus’ connection to God, in whose name He acted. When Jesus said, “Ephphatha!” the results were immediate: “At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly” My comment: This aramaic word "EPHPHATHA" which Jesus (peace be upon him) used: is one of God's (Allah's) 99 Names in Islam: (ALFATTAH) The arabic word is very close to the aramaic word: "ALFATTAH" الفتاح Jesus put his fingers in the deaf man's ears and then he looked up to heaven and called God with one of his beloved names ALFATTAH, teaching us that the healing power is from GOD, God Allah is the healer, he is the opener of every obstacle or difficulty, and he is the one who gave this power to Jesus, Jesus is stressing that he is not the one who heals but it is God (ALLAH) all mighty. This action by Jesus (Peace be upon him) is the essence of monotheism. This is the meaning of "Alfattah" from islamic perspective: th-cam.com/video/uhYlRS3F2Uc/w-d-xo.html
37:27 The issue with oriental melodies being hard to work into English rendition is rooted in the attachment to the extant Semitic-language rendition with its specific contours derived from accent and prosody, even rhyme. As any good translator will tell you, the target language’s own specifics are more important than the niceties of the original. A new melody must be composed according to the rules that describe the oikos (‘tone’), crafted to the target language’s scansion, which likely differs significantly from original. I know nothing of Semitic poetry but I guess that like Greek it’s metrical. In English metrical poetry is no longer done, as it hobbles the natural rhythm of our speech. Nor is rhyme pursued for the same reasons. The best liturgical renditions into English privilege the native graces of the target language and jettison those of the origin. Sentimental attachment to old standards of worship in other languages cripples the development of Orthodox chant in English. The same can be said for other worship-in-translation. I wrote my master’s thesis on this subject.
If it's available online, what's your thesis called?
Fun fact, Marheshwan in the Hebrew calendar means the eighth month in Akkadian. and falls on October. which means the same thing :)

This woman is WRONG. But TRUTH be told, according to REAL HISTORY, the TRUE descendants of the PHARAOHS fled to ETHIOPIA and they are now today in SUB SAHARA AFRICA (ETHIOPIA). But the COPTS are descendants of Persians, Jews, Greeks, and Romans who had been in Egypt for almost 1,000 years before the arrival of the Islamic Arabs. So, it is absolutely WRONG to say the Copts are descendants of the Pharaohs, because it entirely goes against HISTORY and is not supported by history.

In the Syriac Aramaic-Letter-NUN-to-Biblical-Aramaic-letter-Yod/Yud, you are discussing a possible writing of the letter Yod/Yud long-enough [even if by accident] to resemble [& hence, create a "confusion"; misleading impression of the "wrong" letter [of mistaking one for another] YET, in Hebrew, there are THREE possible prefixes: Heh; Yod/Yud & Nun [all in the Nif'3AL grammatical pattern or, bin'YAN]!

I come across this page after a year since it has been posted. You missed one of the semitic language from your list which is Geez. Geez is the mother of Amharic, Tigre, Gurage, Adera and Argoba. All those languages have been spoken for thousands of years in Ethiopia. Particularly Amharic with its alphabet and rich literature still waking strong all over Abyssinia. I see so many similarities with your list of Semitic languages and the Ethiopian counterpart. Thank for your presentation. I apologies on you behave for forgetting Ethiopian Semitic language.
Great job, but news to me that the Syriac Lord's Prayer (Peshitta) in Matthew says "Debts AND sins" as the Luke version does. Always thought some churches, like the Syrian Orthodox or the Chaldean Catholics use the Luke version (Debts and sins) whereas the Church of the East uses the Matthew version which just says Debts.
Thanks for the kind words. The Syriac Orthodox version combines the terms from Matthew and Luke (only "sins").
That was really informative! Thank you very much Professor Wingert! Much appreciated!
